Neiman Marcus – Leopard Shopper – Red Ultrasuede - Leather
This lovely bag came from Neiman Marcus and bears their label. It’s a classic rectangular “shopping” style with long tote handles. The body is soft, leopard print red ultra suede with dark brown genuine leather trim. It’s lined in dark brown nylon. It’s an open top one open space interior design so has no metal hardware. The rolled handles are sewn to the top edges and hanging from one is a logo embossed luggage style leather tag. One side contains an open pocket into which you can slip your cell phone and keys while shopping. This soft bag has plenty of room for everything you need to carry, including a PDA, MP3 player and cosmetics bag. It’s lightweight, soft and folds up for packing in a suitcase. I’ve included a couple photos of my husband modeling the bag to help you envision size. Ron is 5’ 7” tall and weighs 135.
If you’ve read any celebrity, style or fashion magazines lately, you know that animal print bags are again popular. In fact, the September issue of People In Style contains a 2-page spread on animal print items; clothing, shoes, handbags and other accessories. This one can be used as a handbag or green shopping bag. Because of the design/construction, it’s lightweight and great for traveling. There are no flaws like scratches, scuffs, rips, tears, stains or smells (smoke free household). Plus insured UPS ground shipping within the USA is free. International buyers, to determine the shipping cost to your location, please choose your country from the drop down menu in the calculator behind the “Shipping and Payments” tab at the top of this listing. The available methods with charges will then appear in the table below the menu. If the calculator doesn’t work for you, please contact me for assistance.
About the Designer/Brand:

I know it's difficult to envision a bag's size without seeing it "in real life" even when the listing includes measurements, modeling photos and the weight/height of the model. Therefore, I recommend that you do what I myself do when considering an online bag purchase. Measure one you already have and compare those measurements to the ones in this listing. You should then be able to tell whether or not the size of this bag will work for you.

Comes with Neiman Marcus tag. This bag did not come with a dust cover but I always like them for my personal bags. Therefore, as a FREE bonus for the auction winner, I'm including the pictured gray flannel drawstring dust bag that's new and I purchased as a replacement for another bag by a very expensive brand. The bag will be shipped folded inside the dust bag sealed within a plastic bag
Authenticity Money Back Guarantee:
I am a member of the Purse Forum (TPF) and attest that this is absolutely, positively an authentic Neiman Marcus bag; money back guarantee including return shipping at my expense. However, if you have any doubts, as long as the tag is still intact, the bag unused and the paperwork sent with it present, please contact me to request a return. If you have a Neiman Marcus store in your area, I would recommend that you first take it there and ask them to confirm authenticity. If they are of the opinion that the bag is not genuine; I would truly appreciate having that opinion, the reasons therefore and contact information in writing so I will have that information to provide to NM’s online customer service department. Once the bag has been received and I’ve closely inspected it to insure it is indeed the same one I sent, it’s not yet been used, the tag is intact and all of the paperwork sent with it is present, I will issue a refund. (Sorry, but I have to protect myself from people who practice "bait and take" and "modeling"). Please contact me if you’d like to know my TPF ID.
Payment Information:
The payment method accepted for this auction is PayPal, where anyone can use echeck, direct bank debit or the credit card of your choice. (It is not necessary to have an existing PayPal account or create one to use the service to make a payment using a credit card account you already have).
Shipping Information:
Shipping via insured UPS ground within the USA is free. To ensure there is a mechanism to cover potential damage or loss during shipment and document that the package was delivered to the intended recipient at the address specified on the PayPal payment notification, all packages shipped within the USA will be insured and require a signature for delivery. For those of you who work full time (like me), requiring a signature can be inconvenient. However, since the package will be shipped to the address specified on the PayPal payment notification, you can change the address in PayPal for that specific payment to your work or other location of your choice, such as a UPS store in your area. I wrap packages very securely and have not yet experienced damage or loss. But, there is always a first time for everything so the insurance protects us both. I'm sorry that I cannot afford to offer USPS as a free shipping alternative. If you choose USPS, please understand that the estimated cost includes not only the postage based upon the weight of the bag inside the shipping box w/packaging materials to keep it safe/undamaged during transit but also insurance coverage based upon the replacement value of the bag and the fee for signature required delivery.
I will do my best to securely wrap your package but if on the rare chance your bag does get damaged, please contact me immediately and keep the box and all packaging as the carrier will need to see it for the insurance claim. If you use a knife or other sharp object to open the box, be careful not to let it slip inside where it could penetrate the dust cover and cut the bag. Shipping insurance will not cover that type of damage.
International buyers, I'm sorry but I cannot afford to absorb your shipping cost, but I will do all you need me to do to "facilitate" customs clearance. Depending on value declaration, up to $100 of shipping insurance is included (the max amount the USA will cover and allow me to purchase).
Thanks for understanding. If the actual charge for international or domestic USPS shipping is less than my estimate, I will refund you back the difference. I firmly believe you should never have to pay more than it actually costs me. Please check my feedback for shipping speed and cost; it speaks for itself.
