This is a vintage item and as such might be missing the odd coin or bit of beading or decoration, there might be some loose threads here and there or it might be in perfect condition. Its an original handmade item and if you are handy with a needle and thread it can be made as good as new quite easily. The price reflects its condition. If it's missing bits I'll add a something suitable with the item if I can to help plug any gaps.
