NWT 09/10 MARINO ORLANDI LEATHER CROC CROCO BAG TOTE !!

About the item…..

I have read that the most important staple in a woman's ward robe is her hand bag.  I would certainly agree with that!!  Put a bounce in your step with this gorgeous stunning remarkable bag by Marino Orlandi.  Direct from Italy to you just in for the 09/10 season authentic Marino Orlandi with original tags, hand made in Italy (entirely by hand I believe), style 2054 large top zip croc croco / firmly glazed leather adjustable shoulder sling bag purse tote.  Has the highly desired side pocket compartment with secure push in logo closure, highly polished gold tone equistrian style hardware, wide detachable strap with 3 prepunched holes and 2 original snap tabs (insructions for positioning the strap and using the snap tabs will be included).  Has 4 compartments to keep you perfectly organized - the roomy size side pocket compartment is perfect for housing those things you reach for often such are you keys and cell phone, and the open spacious interior houses a zip compartment on the back and a leather leather cell phone pouch compartment in solid glazed chestnut on the front, and jewel tone stripped fabric lining with Marino Orlandi embossed throughout - stunning! The leather is a croc croc embossed that is the best of the best of this croc croc leather textures.   Looks and feels like real crocodile and is structurally firm.  Colors - cream tones and glazed chestnut (identical style bag to the one I have listed in the brown croc tones with black).  These are the most stunning bags!  I ran into a lady at TJMax that owns 6 of this particular style in this size with the side pocket!   They are very highly desired!  Two textures of leather - the strap, exterior base, side panel and side pocket flap and around the base is the solid richly glazed leather. The remainder of the bag is in the croc croc texture.  It such an amazing bag....a work of art as is all Marino Orlandi leather bags.   Detailed reinforced stitching in 2 sizes in cream/chestnut throughout - one a larger stitch accented by a smaller stitch. Very striking, elegant and rich looking-there is so much detail in this beautifiul bag.   And of course as with all their new bags with the thicker glazed leathers, has the rich smell of leather that is distinctive for Marino Orlandi leather goods.  A wonderful size bag that will pack a lot and has a beautiful drop and profile and is oh so light weight, but structually firm.   Opens wide for ease of use - the zipper goes the full length of the bag.  Two Marino Orlandi logs embossed in the leather on the side with the pocket compartment an a larger one embossed in the leather on the other. "Marino Orlandi MADE IN ITALY GENUINE LEATHER" is embossed in the leather label sewn inside the bag.  Suggested retail I believe is around $900.00 or more!  The most expensive of their leather textures on the market today...  A main stay of your wardrobe that is not a trendy bag that will come and go. Marino Orlandi has consistantly made this style over the years but these croc finishes are the nicest and most elegant of them all.    I purchased this gorgeous bag from TJMax - it is the only one of 3 I came across in visiting all our stores (one sold and I am keeping the other), so making it very rare. This is the style I believe that made Marino Orlandi famous, however, there are about 3 of their styles that seem to get that title of recognition.  This is the first in this style I have seen in their croc croc leather texture.            

 Measurements: approximately 15 inches long (bag partially stuffed laying completely flat measuring across the middle from side to front of pocket compartment), 14 inches tall measuring to top of the bag (zipper), and 9 and 1/2 inches wide.  The wide detachable adjustable strap measures appx. 59 inches long.  Has five gold tone feet to protect the base and keep the bag sitting upright-sits perfectly upright when empty.  The colors are even throughout - any variance in color is due to shadows cast by the sun, clouds, or lighting. The picture of the interior is of another bag - until I get a chance to film the interior of this bag I using the photo to just show the colors of the interior.   I will also get some posted of the bag from each side.  The lighter colors are the hardest to film in the Arizona sun.  The best of the best in Marino Orlandi leather goods.  A remarkable bag.  Made to last literally a lifetime, with proper use, storage, and maintenance.
