Vintage CAIMAN ALLIGATOR CROCODILE Purse Handbag Bag

Up for your consideration is a fabulous Vintage CAIMAN ALLIGATOR CROC Kelly Style Purse Handbag Bag from Industria, Argentina. Gold clasp closure at the front. Other hardware is gold as well. Inside has one zipper pocket and several other pockets. One pocket on the outside front of the bag. Singed, "CAIMAN and Industria, Argentina" inside.

Measurements:

9" x 9.5" x 2.5"

Condition:

The skins are all in decent condition, with no major cracking or splitting. There's a tiny tear in the croc skins with the bag folds over at the top. The seams have also come unsewn at the top inside (see pics). Much of the gold color on the hardware has rubbed off/away. The outer edges of the bag show wear and/or are worn. The inside of the bag discoloration marks/is dirty and also has some ink marks. The only major issue with this bag is the handle. Looks like is started to split apart at the seams. Also looks like someone tried to make repairs and didn't do a very good job. The handle is pretty worn and needs to be taken to a professional to be repaired. No other issues to note. This is a great vintage croc bag and will be even better once the handle has been properly repaired.

Please contact me with questions prior to purchase or bidding.

All items are sold in "as is" condition. I do not have a return policy. This is stated in all of my listings however, if there is an issue with an item, all I ask is to be contacted within 3 days of receiving the item (I ship each item with delivery confirmation and insurance and know when your item arrives at your door). If you wait more than 3 days to notify me of any issues, I will not be able to help you.

I do not grant returns on items, and especially on items that do not fit. I use a modern American sizing chart and provide all accurate measurements.

If you state that your item does not fit, I will need a digital photo of how you are measuring the garment to ensure accuracy on both parts. My dress form is a modern size 10 (the bust on my form measures 37", waist measures 30" and hips measured 40") and I can always provide photo's of my tape measure wrapped around and pinned on the bust, waist and hips if needed to prove that my measurements are accurate. If the items are smaller, I typically pin them on my form and measure the garment flat. If you have a question about fit, buy a fabric measuring tape or message me directly with questions.

I carefully inspect my items and report any damage, but I may accidentally miss something occasionally. Most of my items are vintage, so minor wear may occur, please be aware when purchasing. I only give returns on items that are grossly misrepresented minus shipping and listing fees. Gross misrepresentation has nothing to do with fit or minor imperfections. I have also started to mark items in ways that only I will know they were sold or came from my store.

If the item you ordered breaks during shipment, I will need a digital photo of the broken item emailed to me prior to filing an insurance claim. I will need this information to give to the insurance company for the claim. If you can't provide the photo, I will not file a claim report and you will not get a refund. Please keep the box the item was shipped in, as that will be necessary for the claim as well.

To my international buyers: I love you guys however, you are solely reponsible for paying your own customs taxes. Also, if an item breaks during shipment to an international destination, please keep all packaging materials the item arrived in, as the box and contents inside are necessary to file a claim.

Thank you for shopping and please feel free to message me with questions at any time.
