Black Patent Leather Shoulder Bag with Contrast Stitching

This is a pre-owned black patent leather shoulder bag or small hobo bag, characterized by its glossy finish and structured yet soft silhouette. The dominant color is a deep, rich black, and it features stark white contrast stitching that delineates seams, panels, and decorative elements, providing a strong visual outline. The bag has a main top zipper closure, and a noticeable front flap pocket with a silver-toned, possibly brass or nickel, snap closure. The snap appears to be decorative, possibly concealing a magnetic closure beneath. The design includes a single shoulder strap, also in black patent leather, attached to the main body with brass-toned or antique gold-toned hardware, which shows some visible wear and tarnishing, indicative of regular use. The base of the bag is reinforced and features four small, dome-shaped metal feet, likely brass or a brass-plated alloy, to protect the bottom surface from wear. The patent leather exhibits areas of creasing, scuffs, and minor abrasions consistent with regular handling and age. There are no obvious tears or major structural damages, but the shiny surface magnifies minor imperfections. The overall craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, with neat stitching and well-formed hardware, suggesting it was produced by a reputable manufacturer, though no specific maker's marks are discernible from the image. The style suggests it could be from the early 2000s to early 2010s, a period when patent leather bags with contrast stitching were popular. The bag also appears slightly flattened or creased from storage or use.
