Crossbody Purse Appraisal

Orange Leather Crossbody Bag

This is an orange-colored crossbody bag crafted from what appears to be pebbled or grained leather, indicated by the visible texture on its surface. The bag exhibits a rectangular or slightly rounded-rectangular main body with a soft, somewhat slouchy construction, suggesting a supple material rather than a rigid structure. The overall color is a vibrant, bright orange, uniform across the visible surfaces. Key features on the front include a horizontal zippered pocket, possibly for quick access items, situated above a larger flap pocket. This flap pocket is secured by two decorative, buckled straps in a matching orange leather, which appear to be purely aesthetic rather than functional clasps, as they rest over the top of the flap without evident buckles. The hardware on these straps and the zipper pull appears to be a light-colored metal, possibly silver-toned or brass, though difficult to ascertain definitively from the image. The bag is equipped with a long, adjustable strap, also made from the same orange leather, suggesting it can be worn across the body or over the shoulder. This strap attaches to the main body of the bag with metal rings. The construction shows distinct seams, particularly around the front pockets and along the edges of the main body. The bag appears to be in used condition, showing some creasing and possibly slight softening of the material due to wear, particularly at the bottom where it rests. There are no obvious tears, significant scuffs, or repairs visible, suggesting it's in a fair to good pre-owned state. Without a clear view of the interior, lining, or any maker's marks, specific manufacturing details or a precise age are difficult to determine, but its contemporary style suggests it could be from the last decade or two. The quality seems moderate, typical of a commercially produced leather handbag.
