Condition:

The overall condition is very good structurally though the front top flap has some darkening and a few spots from use, most noticeably along the edges and front CC logo. There is some light-moderate wear along the bottom of the bag and corners where the finish has slightly roughened along with a few scuffs and scratches. The back slip pocket lining has a couple of indentations from use and the interior lining has a few small marks and indentations as well. The flap facing has some light scuffs throughout as well as some bubbling running the length of the top fold and a small gouge on the right side, 2" in from the edge.

Everything is sold 'As Is’. The stated overall condition of the lot is based on the assumption that the wear is consistent with age and use.
