When quality leather is worn and ages it develops a beautiful satin glossy patina, and this creel style bag definitely has a story to tell!  Il Bisonte was founded by Wanny Di Filippo in the 70s, and he remains their embassador today.  Unafraid to create different styles, and using exceptional quality leathers, the Il Bisonte brand is highly sought after, especially the vintage styles like this little 80s gem.  It's a small-ish fishing creel style purse made of beautifully patinated vachetta leather with an extra long tubular strap that could be adjusted from the inside if you wanted to wear it shorter.

~CONDITION:

Overall excellent condition, this is the type of Italian leather that just gets better as it ages. There is some slight wear in the nylon of the zipper as shown in a closeup, but it still works perfectly, and wear on the back corners at the piping (zoom in to see better).  There are some little dots and marks that have stained the lining, but not bad. It has been cleaned using a pH balanced cleanser and conditioned using an gentle leather conditioner in preparation for its next adventure.
