For your consideration is this beautiful and authentic Frances Valentine Saddie Saddle satchel. Frances Valentine was started by Kate Spade several years ago and this tote is a perfect example of everything Kate Spade was about! The purse is brand new and features:
Soft patent leather body, top handle and strap leather
Matching trim and heavy stitching throughout
Chic single flat-patent leather top handle with a 6" drop; the top handle is 1 in wide to fit very comfortably on your shoulder Top handle is removable if you want to use the bag as a clutch, or add a different top handle Detachable and adjustable cross-body or shoulder strap 22-26" drop PLEASE READ ; I punched a couple of holes in the strap using a buttonhole punch (see pic) to enable you to use a button stud to make the shoulder strap much shorter (see pic) by using only the long piece of the two-part adjustable strap, and threading it through the d-ring and attaching with the button stud (see pic). This makes the strap drop length about 15 in. I am a short person and most shoulder/crossbody straps are too long for me. I will include the gold button snap with the bag. The buttonholes on the straps are not noticeable if you choose not to use it and use the strap in the way it was intended
Large flap with magnetic closure on the front;
FV in a gold initial staple is on the front near the bottom of the bag
Interior features 2 slip pockets on the front wall and zipped back wall pocket with leather Frances Valentine logo patch; pockets are trimmed in black patent leather
Interior is lined in cream cotton twill The bag opens very wide making it easy to get items in and out of the bag The bag is gusseted on the sides All hardware is light 14k gold plated
Complete with Frances Valentine dust bag and fabric gift bag, and attached tag
Perfect brand new condition-I did slightly alter the strap (see above), but then decided I needed a larger bag and never carried it
Originally retailed for $498, but no longer available on francesvalentine.com
