J. Crew Uptown Tote

J. CrewUptown tote

EUC J. Crew Uptown Tote in orange with grayish-blue piping.  This is one of the original Uptown Totes, is made with the pebbled Borge Garvari leather, and it's hardly been used.  I think it was carried maybe 2-3 times.  The only evidence of wear is that the bottom corners have a slight patina to them from rubbing against the body, and one corner has a slight scratch.   These are completely unnoticeable when wearing the bag and you really have to look for them.  But I believe in full disclosure!  I'm happy to provide detailed photos to anyone that is seriously interested.  The construction of these classic J. Crew bags is really superb, and it honestly looks brand new except for those minor flaws!

From the J. Crew website:

A beautiful bag with the indescribably rich feel of full-grain leather tumbled by Borge Garveri exclusively for J.Crew. (By the way, it's pronounced "Borg-ee," with a rolled R.) The flawless hides are carefully dyed on each side and finished by hand with contrast detail at the edges. Leather handles. Side snap closures. Custom hardware with antiqued-brass finish. Sumptuous suede contrast-color interior. Back-wall zip pocket. Metal feet. Unlined. Part of the J.Crew Collection. Import. 7" handle drop. 10"H x 20 1/4"W at top, 12"W at base x 6"D.

From the Fall 2008 collection
