Although I think that this handbag was never used (the interior is in such good condition) the leather fold over strap and handles do have cracks in them and these can be seen in the photographs.
There is one central jewel missing from the back but can only be noticed if you are looking for it. Everything else is original and clearly marked 'Road runner' with EC © .

Remarkably the handbag is in great condition inside and out although some previous owner removed some of the jewells from the front. You can easily add your own to the design (please see the photo) but really even as it is it's great fun and usable. I do not believe that this handbag was ever used. It is so clean inside. It measures 10 inches (25cms) across at the widest point and 16 inches (41cms) from the top of the handles to the bottom of the bag.
