Vintage Leather Travel Bag — Mid-Century, Full Zip, Patina
Vintage Leather Travel Bag — Mid-Century, Full Zip, Patina
This bag has been somewhere. Probably several somewheres.
A large mid-century leather travel bag in warm tan full-grain leather — full zip top closure, leather-wrapped top handle, small brass nameplate hardware on the front panel, saddle-stitched panel construction throughout. The leather has developed a deep, uneven patina over decades of use: darker at the corners and handle, lighter across the body, with the kind of character marks that accumulate from actual travel. This is not distressed leather. This is leather that has lived.
