Vintage Fendi bag purchase

Transaction was easy bag took about 8 days to be delivered. Box was in horrendous condition. For the $16 delivery charge there should be better levels of what is acceptable to send items in. I was concerned bag may be affected but luckily it was in a dust bag. The item was also final sale so I would have been out of luck for any damage. The bag quality was as expected and I am happy with that.

The bag was in disgusting condition

The bag was in disgusting condition. Caked up dirt on the interior and exterior, metal accents are so rusted/worn they look horrible. I don’t feel the extent of the dirt and wear was pictured accurately in the listing. Also, coach does free cleanings on leather bags so at the very minimum do that before sellling a purse that has caked up grime everywhere!
