NWT 09 MARINO ORLANDI WHITE LEATHER SHOULDER BAG CROC

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!!!!! A perfect every day carry bag for the spring/summer months!    Authentic Marino Orlandi new with original tags imported from Italy for the 2009 season - style 3550 handmade in Italy (entirely by hand I believe), top zip closure multi-compartment shoulder bag purse tote brief travel or business tote in a croc croco embossed white leather.   Finally, we are getting their beautiful croc croc leathers in white. Whether you choose the brown/black tones or this one in the white you can't go wrong.  They are so stunning.  Has a new style high polished gold tone equstrian style hardware for securing the "O ring to the bag and high polished equistrian style  gold tone "o" rings for securing the strap to the bag.  There is so much detail in this beautiful bag.  Color - white - leather is croco croc embossed throughout except for the base and the rolled leather straps and top at sides which is done in a smooth leather.   Crisp jewel tone striped fabric lining in a splash of gorgeous pastel colors (their fabric linings are unsurpassed), detailed reinforced stitching throughout in white-one a larger stitch accented by a smaller stitch, rolled leather straps with slide through snap closure snap tab.  Has 6 compartments to keep you perfectly organized.  This beautiful bag is light weight  - it will pack a lot!  The leather has that distinctive smell of high quality leather and finish that is unique to Marino Orlandi.   "Marino Orlandi" and logo are embossed in the leather on the front and and back twice, and on each side.  The high polished gold tone front hardware has "Italy" embossed in the hardware.   "Marino Orlandi MADE IN ITALY GENUINE LEATHER" is embossed in the leather label attached to the interior.  I personally hand selected this beautiful bag from TJMax, and it was the only one of 2 I came across in visiting all of our stores, making it very rare.    

There are 6 compartments to keep you perfectly organized and you will have no stacking of items in this roomy bag!  There is one exterior zip compartment on the back perfect for housing those items you reach for frequently - such as keys or cell phone.  The top has a wonderful new design in Marino Orlandi.   There are 3 zip compartments accessed from the top.  The one center zip compartment going the full length of the bag and houses a zip compartment on the back wall and a white leather cell phone compartment on the front wall.  The other 2 zip compartments are roomy and are by themselves.  

Measurements: approximately 15 and 1/4 inches long (bag stuffed measuring across the middle from side to side), 11 inches tall, and 6 inches wide.  The rolled leather straps provide for a drop of about 9 inches.  Has a beautiful drop and profile.  Very comfortable on the shoulder, and can also be carried in the crook of your arm.  Five gold tone feet to protect the base and keep the bag sitting upright.  Has a beautiful drop and profile.   Sits perfectly upright when empty.  I believe the suggested retail price on this bag is around $650.00 on up because of all the detail and that is has the more expensive croc croc embossed gently glazed leather, fabric lining, and all the compartments.  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.
