Great vintage faux leather bag from the 70s.
Dark brown, green inside. Short handle only.
Closes with 1 metal buckle.
2 comparments inside.
Classy vintage accessory!

Faux leather was created in the early years of the twentieth century, but became a real fashion hit on the 1960s due new production techniques developed. It was cheaper than real leather, better to work with and no animal products in its making.
