Vintage 1970s Les Must de Cartier oxblood leather attache

Ahhh...Nothin says class like Cartier! Sourced in Newark, NJ back in 2006,  I knew this was a jewel when I saw her.  Since purchasing I've had three (yes - THREE) different women on the streets of New York stop and offer me hundreds of dollars in cash if I sold it to them right then & there. *HA* Now THAT'S what I call fashion validation!
