Treesje Handbag - Harlow Clutch - Viola - Leather

Treesje Handbag – Harlow Clutch – Viola - Leather

I purchased this gorgeous bag from a Purse Forum endorsed retailer. It’s Treesje’s "Harlow Clutch" in buttery soft, deep purple (viola) Italian lambskin leather with a deep luster, satin finish. The hardware is shiny gold. The top secures via a large front flap with two magnetic snaps. What makes this bag so special are the chain rows that travel vertically down the flap and back of the bag. Leather is interwoven through the chain links. In the center, the body has been gathered so it has a ruched appearance similar to a sharpei. It's lined in gray bengaline and inside there's a zippered pocket, leather faced cell phone pouch and plenty of room for all the essentials. This isn't a small evening bag into which you can only carry a cell phone, keys, ID case and your lip gloss. This is an oversized, chunky bag that will also handle a wallet, checkbook, small cosmetics bag, pen, brush and PDA. I've included one stock photo that better demonstrates the beautiful design and color better than those I took myself in my fluorescent lit kitchen beneath a full spectrum floor lamp. There is also a photo of my husband modeling the bag. To help you envision size, Ron is 5’ 6” tall and weighs 140.

If you've read any style, celebrity or fashion magazines lately, you know that oversized clutches are very popular, as is the dark purple color. This one will coordinate with lots of outfits and is even nice enough for dress up events. Plus, it's such a terrific size - will hold almost everything you'd normally carry in a regular handbag. It will make a wonderful holiday gift. It's new with no visible flaws like scratches, scuffs, rips, tears, stains or smells (smoke free household). There’s no reserve and insured UPS ground shipping within the USA is free. International shoppers, to determine the shipping cost to your location, choose your country from the drop down menu of the calculator behind the Shipping and Payments tab at the top of this listing. The available services with charges will then appear in the table below the menu. If the calculator doesn’t work for you, please contact me for assistance.

Bag Specifics:

Authenticity Money Back Guarantee:

I am a member of the Purse Forum (TPF) and attest that this is absolutely, positively an authentic Treesje bag; money back guarantee including return shipping at my expense. Regardless of whether you’re interested in this listing or that of another seller, I strongly recommend copying and pasting the auction link to the authentication thread of the Treesje group on the Purse Forum (www.purseforum.com). Although not professional authenticators, members there have special expertise in recognizing genuine bags. It’s what I do when I’m not sure myself from reviewing the listing photos or the seller doesn’t respond to or answer my questions appropriately. My TPF co-members have never steered me wrong. It’s always best to ask questions and check listings out BEFORE you bid or buy. Please contact me if you’d like to know my TPF ID.

Since I purchased this bag myself from a Purse Forum endorsed retailer with whom I have lots of experience and know Treesje bags well, I’m positive it’s authentic. However, if upon receipt and inspecting it yourself you have any doubts, please contact me to relay your concerns and request return. I would also encourage you to take the bag to the reputable store of your choice that regularly sells Treesje bags and ask them to confirm authenticity. If the retailer is of the opinion that the bag is not genuine, I would truly appreciate receiving that opinion along with the reasons therefore and contact information in writing so I can provide that to and have a serious discussion with the retailer’s customer service manager. If a return is requested, the tags must still be intact, the bag unused and all of the accompanying materials present, I will issue a refund once I inspect the bag to make sure it indeed is the same one that was sent, hasn’t been used and has all the aforementioned components (sorry, but I’ve got to protect myself from those who practice “bait and take” and “modeling”),

Payment Information:

The payment method accepted for this auction is PayPal, where anyone can use e-check, 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 their 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.
