?? VINTAGE HOLY GRAIL — UNUSED DEADSTOCK (US SHIPPING ONLY) ??
LISTING IS FOR ONE (1) Addicted Brand (ML-2500) gothic utility messenger crossbody handbag
Up for sale is an incredibly rare, authentic vintage Addicted Brand (ML-2500) gothic utility messenger crossbody handbag from the early 2000s Y2K era. This specific dome-top / rectangular utility silhouette is an absolute holy grail piece heavily sought after within Mall Goth, Grunge, and alternative fashion archival subcultures.
A vintage Addicted brand messenger-style crossbody bag that is rounded at the top and rectangular at the bottom is known as a dome messenger or a classic arch-top utility bag. This is arguably the most famous and recognizable silhouette that the brand ever made during the Y2K era.
True museum-grade archival piece for Y2K subculture collectors.
You will likely never find another one of these brand new in its original factory packaging!
CAREFULLY REVIEW ALL PHOTOS AND FULLY READ THE DESCRIPTION BEFORE YOU BUY
* Condition: Pristine New Old Stock (NOS). The handbag is brand new, completely unused, and still wrapped in its original, factory white tissue paper inside the original manufacturer's clear polybag.
PLEASE NOTE: although never opened or taken out of the original plastic it came in, the white tissue paper is slightly ripped on one side, probably happened in the shipping process (see pics)
Also, despite the clear cross and skull picture, this bag is NOT real leather, it is a combination of faux leather and I believe canvas.
The cross and skull image is a stock photo as I did not remove the bag from the original plastic to photograph it.
PLEASE keep that in mind BEFORE you buy it (please see pics)
* Design & Shape: Classic structured utility silhouette featuring a flat rectangular base with a smoothly rounded arch/dome top. The center features the iconic large, bold, gothic, four-point/Greek-style cross + white border + numerous individual white skulls arranged inside the cross appliqué densely packed with a striking monochrome collage of overlapping white human skulls.
* Hardware & Accents: Heavy-duty silver-tone metal hardware, precise perimeter contrast stitching accents, and a wide webbed adjustable crossbody shoulder strap.
* Authenticity Sticker: Features the original factory-applied white inventory sticker on the outer plastic reading "Style No. ML-2500 Color BK" (confirming Black colorway and model number). (see pics)
