Vintage 00s Quilted Nylon and Leather Bally Large Shoulder Bag with Dustbag
There is no other understated elegance out there better than Bally. Their pieces are masterworks of craftsmanship, made by a team of skilled craftspeople that excel in each of their fields. Bally's signature quilting is not to be mistaken for anyone elses' - the way it curves and morphs from vertical to horizontal in the most subtle way.. you won't even notice it until you look much closer. The rigid leather allows this shoulder bag to retain its' minimalist silhouette, and offset the softness of the quilting. Bally logos are there, but oh so subtle, which is perfect in our books!

~CONDITION:
Excellent vintage condition. This is the enduring quality of Bally of Switzerland and their excellent materials and craftsmanship. There is a crease in the bottom corner on the main compartment side, and some faint red dye transfer on the bottom of the quilted material (both callouts shown in photos), but for a 20 plus year old purse, it is in impeccable shape! The material was thoroughly cleanes, and the leather conditioned in preparation for her next stop in life!
