Adjustable Strap Bag Appraisal

Tote Bag with Adjustable Strap and Flap Closure

This is a medium-sized tote bag, possibly convertible into a backpack, featuring a two-toned color scheme of brown and black. The primary material appears to be a pebbled faux leather in a rich, reddish-brown hue for the main body, complemented by smooth black faux leather accents on the top flap, strap attachments, and buckle details. The bag exhibits a structured yet somewhat relaxed form, indicative of its functional design. Notable features include gold-toned hardware, specifically a prominent D-ring on the front flap, and rectangular buckle-like elements on the lower front. A rectangular gold-toned plaque with "STEVE MADDEN" engraved is visible near the bottom center of the bag. The top handle is black with gold-toned metal attachments, and there's an adjustable/removable shoulder strap attached via gold-toned lobster clasps. The overall condition appears good with minor signs of wear consistent with general use, such as slight creasing in the faux leather and potential light scratching on the hardware, though no significant damage or repairs are clearly visible. The craftsmanship suggests a commercially manufactured item, likely from the early 21st century, designed for everyday use. The bag displays a utilitarian aesthetic with fashion-forward elements.
