Karung is a non- venomous aquatic snake native to Southeast Asia, prized for its thin. soft, and durable skin. " Key Feature of Judith Leiber Karung Bag Artisanal Shirring: A major Leiber innovation was gently hand-pleating and gathering the skins to create a soft, rounded silhouette. This contrasts with other designers who machine-pleat skins, often making them feel hard or bunched. Semi-Precious Embellishments:  Karung bag featureing gold tone top frame and  clasp set with hand-polished cabochons of onyx  and carnelian. Versatile Design: This bag  includes a drop-in or retractable chain shoulder strap, allowing it can  be worn as a shoulder bag, crossbody, or clutch." Condition: Previously owned with evidence of wear and storage such as scruffs and micro abrasions as seen in bright light when rotated for inspection. The skin is soft and supple and the gold tone finish on the hardware is shiny and intact. The chain has wear to the gold particularly at the shoulder area. There are a couple or rough areas where there was a kink in the chain in the past. Condition: Pre-owned - Good. Category: Clothing, Shoes & Accessories › Women › Women's Bags & Handbags.
