Vintage Refurbished 00s IIIBeCa by Joy Gryson Turquoise Hudson St Crossbody

If you are a fan of vintage Coach then you'll understand why this IIIBeCa by Joy Gryson bag had to join the Villa's collection! It is a no-nonsense silhouette bag, made of turquoise colored vegetable tanned leather and can be worn as a shoulder or crossbody style bag. Having worked in design for everyone from Liz Claiborne, to Coach, to Marc Jacobs, Joy Gryson is a fascinating and impressive woman (which made me appreciate the design of this purse so much more)! It should be worth noting that there a touch of whimsy in this piece too - from the hot pink stitching to the magenta removable organizer bag inside.. it's this kind of detail that makes us happy!

~CONDITION:
Overall very good condition. The leather does show some surface scratches on the front and the back looks as though it might have rubbed up against something yellow - there's some yellow on the edge and light yellow rubbing on the back pocket. the frame of the purse is a little smushed; it was probably stored flat. THe purse itself though has years and years of life left in it, especially since its been thoroughly cleaned and conditioned and is ready to head off on its fabulous next adventure!
