I cant say enough about this bag and Im someone who has purchased at least three expensive handbags a year for quite some time.  It was wrapped like Fort Knox.  All of the metal protected with a special shrink plastic.
The whole bag was encased in a cloth-type bag, and then in a larger plastic bag.  I also purchased the wallet in the same leather color.  Its an excellent size and has a hand strap.  Love, love, love both items!
