Interesting story, I was looking for something in the attic when a certain dust bag caught my eye and to my surprise(and horror!) I found this obviously once beautiful piece just laying in a pile of junk. The leather is somewhat stiff at certain parts, the once gold hardware is now silver with slight hints of gold at the edges. The handle is twisted at a somewhat outward angle and there are slight cracks in the leather. However, the stitching is still so immaculate and the ostrich skin, even after all these years is still so beautiful to look at and just as an overall, the entire bag looks like a weapon which could have been used to silence an entire room filled with jealousy. I brought it down and my grandmother chastised me for being up in the attic and dirtying the house with old junk(haha). I knew it was hers because my grandmother had such an elegant style with the most beautiful and exquisite handbag collection for as long as I can remember and not many asian ladies carried such bags back then. I asked her about this bag and she said that it was a gift my grandfather had got for her in London sometime in the 90s before I was even born. I asked her if could have it, and she said go ahead but she also said how its far too old and dirty for someone so young like me to be carrying. She told me to get a longchamp or something like that(double haha). Long story short, can everyone look at the attached pictures and see what is the specific model/make and if it’s worth anything?
Sorry I didn’t clarify on that- I was curious to know what this bag would be worth on the market. I know that the ostrich leather bags sells for high prices but because it’s in such a sad state, I wonder of it is worth any monetary value at all.Worth anything as in you want to sell it?
The bag is amazing. I can’t speak as to the bag’s market value.
I would consider it priceless if it could be spa’d back into usable condition. My grandmother had an early 90s MCM bag bought from Berlin on a trip with my mother and sister. After she died a few years ago, I had hoped it could be restored. Unfortunately, the canvas was too far gone after a few decades of poor storage. I would carry the heck out of your grandmother’s bag.
I second this... I would be very curious what the spa quote would be.First get authentication from a paid for service (fakes and copies go way back). If irs H get it repaired and spaed by H, don't try this yourself, the bag needs alot of work including edging, re-etitching and conditioning. Vintage ostrich in shades of brown isn't woth a huge deal in the current market but it will worth more than the repairs (just about) and you'll have a great bag to carry.
