MZ Wallace leopard print tote






Leopard-print tote from New York designers MZ Wallace with natural vachetta leather handles.  The tote measures 11.5 inches wide by 12.5 inches long, with a depth of 3 inches.  The print has a lot of olive and is truly a neutral.  I carried this a few times two summers ago, and the sweat from my hands reddened the handles, as shown in the pictures.  The tote is piped in the same leather, and both the trim and the 4 small leather feet on the bottom of the bag are in perfect condition.  The black fabric lining has pockets for keys, a smart phone, and other items, and the top zips closed.

Set of 3 is yours for $35, including shipping (U.S. only, PayPal only).  Please leave your PayPal email address if you are seriously interested.  Thanks!
