This lovely handbag is almost tote sized. It measures 12 inches wide, 9 inches tall and is 4.5 inches across the bottom. The straps are a 8 inch drop to the bag. The front has figure eights in gold tone as a motif on the straps. The straps are very secure but one of the gold tone rivets is missing and the purse has been priced accordingly. The clasp is conical shaped, also in gold tone. The center of the purse opens and closes with a conical shaped clasp. There are two deep compartments on each side. The inside is lined in black taffeta and there is one zippered pocket lined in tan vinyl. The purse opens wide and will hold lots of contents. A great buy for a wonderful vintage handbag. I really like the straps as they are 1 inch wide and allow for a very comfortable fit.
