~CONDITION: Really very good condition, especially factoring in that this gem of a bag is over 40 years old! It came to Villa Milagro with a lot of dirt on the canvas and dry leather with some odd crunchy stains on the corner leather trim. Care was taken in getting rid of the crunchy parts (for the most part), and very careful moisturizer was applied to all of the leather, after carefully cleaning it. It has been surface cleaned with a gentle cleaner for the fabric, all the leather was carefully conditioned to restore moisture to the hide and the brass polished in preparation for its next lifetime! For reference sake, dress form measurements: 5'7" Height 14" Shoulders 37" Bust 27" Waist 36" Hips
