Black glazed leather with a crocodile pattern became one of the defining finishes: dramatic, durable and formal enough for evening, with the Medusa used sparingly in gold as a signature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tote is built on a firm rectangular body with a zipped top and gusseted sides that open to a generous interior. Two long rolled handles drop comfortably over the shoulder and are fixed to the front and back with square gold-tone Medusa plaques. The base sits on four gold-tone feet. Inside, black leather lining carries the woven Gianni Versace label, a zipped wall pocket and, on the outside back, a magnetic slip pocket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe glazed surface holds its high shine and the scales are deeply defined. No species documentation accompanies the bag, so it is offered as crocodile-pattern leather. It is large enough for a document folder, a small laptop sleeve and daily essentials, and its clean shape works as well with tailoring as with denim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"jp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gianni Versace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeason:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1990s (attributed)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel \/ ref:\u003c\/strong\u003e Crocodile-pattern leather shoulder tote with Medusa plaques\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glazed leather with crocodile pattern; leather lining\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in:\u003c\/strong\u003e Italy (believed)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTagged size:\u003c\/strong\u003e One size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Width 31 cm · Height 23 cm · Depth 11 cm · Handle drop approx. 58 cm total length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bag only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePre-owned with light general use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo significant marks or damage to the glazed exterior.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorners and base feet in good order.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSome wear to the interior label edge; lining clean.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZip runs smoothly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition grade \u003cstrong\u003eAB\u003c\/strong\u003e on the Japanese scale; see \u003ca href=\"\/de\/blogs\/news\/japanese-condition-ranks-explained\"\u003eJapanese condition ranks, explained\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAuthenticity \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabels, stamps, fabric or leather, hardware engraving and stitching are examined together and documented in Japan before dispatch.
