This item is sold from an excellent, highly rated vintage boutique in South Florida.
Launched in 1992, the Sheridan Collection was made with a specifically designed water and scratch resistant pebble textured leather that retained its new appearance over time, with smooth belted leather accents, and a whole new line of hardware as well. This Richmond Bag is small, but a dream bag for someone who likes to keep their purse goodies organized; two major inside pockets and a center compartment make it a breeze. The strap is long enough to easily wear the purse as either a shoulder or a cross body style making it perfect for daily use, for travel, or a night out. Note that there is no serial number, but that's not unheard of in the Sheridan bags that were made in Italy.

~CONDITION:
Excellent vintage condition, and I think we have the Sheridan leather to thank for that! The only callout to make is a couple of popped stitches on the zipper edge, most likely from strap rub from use and a pen mark on the strap. I did still go ahead and do a full refurbishing on the bag, and was very careful that the leather color didn't bleed on to the faille lining. It was a little tricky, but always worth it in the end to get the bag back to beautiful. Slow drying, brass polished, and two different conditioners used due to the different leathers' needs in preparation for it's next stop in life.
As ever, I'm happy to answer any questions you may have; just PM me.
