The Berkeley Collection had a very short life, really only a year or two, and was done as a re-imagination of the classics made in reverse suede. It is basically Lula's Legacy, except the body is turned inside out. This collection is definitely one that you won't see too much of, and certainly not the Drawstring; there aren't a whole lot of these gems out there! It is a timeless style medium sized purse, that can be worn as a shoulder or crossbody feed bag.

~CONDITION:
There are a few pen marks at the base and what appears to be an ink stain on the inside, which is partially why she wasn't bathed. She was a very sad tomato at first- pic of how she arrived are shown; so very dry - the other reason to not bathe her! Conditioned and cleaned the suede, flipped her inside out and cleaned and conditioned the full grain leather, polished the brass, brushed the suede to re-raise the nap, and conditioned the leather on the strap and on the base 4 times-- 2x with a light conditioner, and 2x with a deep conditioner. She's now ready to head off on her new adventure!
