NWT 09 MARINO ORLANDI CROCO SHOULDER BAG PURSE 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 - what a fun bag to carry!!!!!   Authentic Marino Orlandi new with original tags imported from Italy style 3595 handmade in Italy (entirely by hand I believe), shoulder bag purse tote with top zip closure (zipper goes clear across the top and down along the side aways), deep roomy drawstring front pouch compartment and exterior zip compartment, rich thick rolled leather straps,  high polished gold tone equistrian style hardware, north/south panels on front and back, crisp easy care jewel tone fabric lining in their 2 tone black.   Color - a gorgeous 2 tone Rich Black - the main body of the bag is a glazed croc croc patent leather finish that is just awesome - the rich rolled leather straps,exterior base, front north south panels and side panels the rich black glazed leather.  This is not a "fat" bag.   I show it completely stuffed  as it will pack a lot - it is a slim trim bag carrying a normal amount of items and there is so much detail in this beautiful bag. Even the drawstring has high polished gold tone end caps.  The patent leather just glistens in the sun.  It will pack a lot, carry softly and gently against the body, is structurally firm and made to last, and the color will wear well with so many things. It will wear with a business suit to blue jeans.  Detailed reinforced stitching in black throughout - one a larger stitch accented by a smaller stitch. 

Has 8 compartments to keep you perfectly organized!!!!!!  There are the front pouch compartment that has the perfect amount of gathering making it secure but easily accessible, a back zip compartment, and the interior houses a zip compartment down the center, a zip compartment on both the front and back wall, and a black leather cell phone pouch compartment on the front.  The leather has that distinctive smell of high quality glazed leather and finish that is unique to Marino Orlandi.  Makes the twisty sound of high quality Marino Orlandi Italian leather.   "Marino Orlandi" and logo are embossed in the patent leather north south on the front and back panels, and "Italy" is embossed on the high polished gold tone hardware on the front.  "Marino Orlandi MADE IN ITALY GENUINE LEATHER" is embossed in the leather label attached to the interior.    

Measurements: approximately 18 inches long (bag stuffed measuring across the middle from side to side just below the middle), 12 inches tall measuring to top of zipper,  and 9 inches wide.  The rolled leather straps that are very comfortable provide for a drop of approximately 9 and 1/2 inches (ample drop and arm will rest along the bag).  Has a beautiful drop and profile and carries softly against the body. Five gold tone feet to protect the base and keep the bag sitting upright.  Sits perfectly upright when empty.  I believe the suggested retail price on this bag is around $600.00 on up because of the size and all the detail.  An absolutely gorgeous one of a kind made by hand glazed leather bag that is not a trendy bag that will come and go.  The color is even throughout - any variance in color is due to shadows cast by the sun, clouds, or lighting.  I carry this same bag and love mine!  The end of the zipper can be left out as shown in the pictures or tucked in - I tuck it in.   It was made like this to allow for the bag to be fully expanded.   But even tucked in it fully expands.  This is of the more expensive in this style bag because of the leather - patent croc croc embossed and glazed leather throughout.   Be sure to check out my guides on Marino Orlandi and how to care for your treated leathers and other guides you may find of interest.  Yes votes and suggestions are welcomed and appreciated.  I had 2 of these in black - the other sold a while ago - so when this one is gone - that's it - no more.   For now, until I have a chance to film it, I am opting to use the pictures of that bag - sitting side by side, you could not tell one from the other.
