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. The Berkeley 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:
Excellent vintage condition! She was a very sad tomato at first; so very dry and stained...gave it a bath, slowly dried it, polished the brass, brushed the suede to re-raise the nap, and conditioned the leather twice. She's now ready to head off on her new adventure!
