Terminology regarding the condition of the Vintage Handbags:
Please remember when buying vintage purses there are normally minor imperfections unless these are very noticable or detract from the style or attractiveness of the item they are not normally mentioned.
LOOKING FOR PERFECTION - VINTAGE IS NOT FOR YOU!
(Mint Condition) MINT - As close to "new" as possible for its age. No problems.
(Excellent Condition) Normal wear expected for age. Any problems are not easily visible.
(Gently Used) Normal wear expected for age. Shows very minimal wear
(Used) A purse that was used everyday. Not abused.... but used, shows more noticeable wear.
(Rest assured I do not sell handbags that are not attractive or fit to carry.)

I am always on the hunt for vintage "Koro" handbags which are quite rare. These handbags were exceptionally crafted with unique designs and only the country club elite could afford. This very tall Koro handbag is a real head turner and has a dramatic flare. Embossed genuine leather that looks like lizard skin with a very unique taffy twist brass handle. The interior is lined with tan genuine leather with two open sidewall pockets trimmed with gold piping. There is also a zippered sidewall pocket. Resting within the open pockets is a matcher leather coin purse and a leather-backed mirror. This is a treasure that was kept in its original Koro box.
