Thank you!On Jan-01-21 at 12:48:25 PST, seller added the following information:A couple people asked about the stiffness of the bag. This is how I answered:Hi, The bag is soft, but because of the beadwork on either side it wrinkles the bag a little when laying flat as the beaded areas slant inward toward opening and consequently stiffen the sides.The fringe is not hard, but does stand straight out when bag is held horizontally (much like parfleche does).I think it’s all as it should be when in good to excellent original condition.Thank you for your interest!-tasn
