There is some damage at the apex of the strap. There are plenty of repair tutorials online, and care guides at: https://helenkaminski.com/pages/how-to-care-repair-raffia-leather-accessories


This bag has been kept stuffed with bubble wrap to maintain its shape and out of the sun in 70 degree ambient temperature to maintain its color and suppleness.

It's the perfect bag to toss your bikini and towel in and head over to your friends' poolside looking tres chic. (Pretty much the only thing I've occassionally used it for. You have a gorgeous raffia hat already, don't you?!?)

So, the top has become slightly tattered as shown. I think it'll be an easy repair job.

I bought this in 2008-ish I think, so it's 16 years old. Take it for a drive this Spring!
