Chippewa Tribe . and a 1200.00 retail value. IT IS UNUSUAL FOR THE SHOULDER STRAP TO HAVE SEPARATE DESIGNS WHICH THIS ONE DOES.

The cotton fabric on back side of shoulder strap is dirty and discoloured. I did not try and clean this item. will leave that up to the buyer. a few of the bead strands are loose. and will need repair. none are missing. on the last photo of back side. dark blue velvet . that is small white lint on it. did not try to remove. No returns auction. this is a authentic bag. and I reserve the right to no returns. as listed in the auction .statements are to the best of my ability I am not a antique appraisal person.
