This is an antique, vintage Moroccan purse made between 1920 and 1940. It comes from my mother's closet. She was born and raised in French Morocco between 1920-1940. It appears that she used it some and yet the leather is in excellent vintage/antique condition. 

The embroidery shows some wear and has a nice patina. I believe the original color was a deep maroon and the leather embroidered decor may have been cream or yellow. The original maroon color can be seen under the flaps. As is customary, the shoulder strap is a lovely heavy knotted cord that is still in excellent condition and hangs from metal rings. The main compartment is roomy and there are four exterior pockets including a change pouch on the outside. 

Flat Measurements: 
Length: 10.75"
Height: 9" 
Flap: 3.5"H
Gusset: 1.5"W
