JC (Jessica Carlyle) Black Patchwork Leather Shoulder Bag

This is a large black shoulder bag, ostensibly made from genuine leather, featuring a distinctive patchwork design. The bag is composed of numerous small, irregularly shaped pieces of black leather stitched together with visible, contrasting or slightly raised stitching, creating a textured surface. The primary color is a deep, consistent black, with a slight sheen suggesting a finished leather surface. The construction appears to be machine-stitched, with individual patches exhibiting varying grain patterns, though all are uniform in color. A prominent feature is a rectangular gold-toned metal plaque or logo plate affixed to the front of the bag, bearing the initials "JC" in a stylized font, with the full name "Jessica Carlyle" inscribed below it. The bag has a main top zipper closure, with what appears to be an additional exterior zippered pocket or compartment visible. A wide, adjustable shoulder strap, also in black leather or a matching synthetic material, is attached to the bag. The strap appears to be secured with gold-toned hardware, indicated by a buckle-like element near the attachment point. The bag's overall condition shows some compression and creasing, consistent with use or storage, but no obvious tears, significant scuffs, or major damage are discernible from the provided images. The overall style suggests a casual yet chic aesthetic, likely from the contemporary period, possibly within the last 10-20 years.
