OK, it's a 1960s pigskin vanity case for a lady. Hardware and fittings are brass. All parts are original. A range of these bags were made for men and women (briefcase for men with a single, thicker handle and case not as wide). Very nicely made and very much of its time.

Cheney only made the locks and it's not designer, but very well made. If I find out more I'll let you know.

I'd like to know if this Issey Miyake Bao Bao is authentic, or if anyone who's familiar with Issey can give their 2 cents! This bag was thrifted by myself, and I was excited to find an Issey Miyake hidden among the cheap and unknown brand bags! I realize, though, that I have no idea if its authentic or not. This bag is in pretty rough condition, with several of its holographic panels missing.
Forgive my ignorance as I am not familiar with these bags at all, hopefully there is someone who is that can help me!

I've heard that inauthentic baobaos tend to stay rigid when placed right side up. This bag definitely crumples when placed on its bottom, not sure what this means exactly though.
