VINTAGE 1940s SADDLE LEATHER MACBOOK AIR 13 / IPAD PRO 12.9 BRIEFCASE BAG R$698
My bags are the antidote for the poly-lined synthetic leather run-of-the-mill bags being produced in China. Most of my bags are full-grain leather; Artisan craft, with authentic distressed character, and many with modifications unique to our line. We only use high-grade men's belts for shoulder straps. This leather is reminiscent of equestrian leather halter straps. I also use half centimeter thick mooseskin. Nothing wimpy here; quality and character that stands out and stands the test of a truly rugged lifestyle. Invest in a bag that you'll love more and more over time. Not all leather bags are created the same. A great quality leather bag is supposed to look better with time as the leather acquires marks and age-related wear. Make sure to check out my whole store. At the time of this listing, I have 180 items all unique and different. Many with added Mooseskin handles; my "trademark" unique idea. Once you have tried it you will wonder how you functioned before without an inside handle. Also on many of my briefcases, I add a mooseskin handle wrap. The handle is the point of contact that the owner has with their bag and mooseskin is so pleasing to touch. My philosophy in writing descriptions is: a picture speaks 1000 words. So please look at the pictures and email me with any questions. That said, here is my description:

What I love about this old back is as follows:
- A true vintage distressed leather bag likely from WWII. The leather is solid but has a great distressed look and feel.
- The handle was in good shape but I felt that a Buckskin Deerskin leather handle wrap would really give this case some class and make it completely unique. Deerskin is so fabulous to touch. It is also extremely durable and resistant to the oil in the skin making it the perfect choice for the handle.
- I like the wood handle support that is attached with pounded copper rivets.
- It is clean
- The straps are adjustable and in good shape.
- Buckles have a vintage patina.
- It not only fits the iPad Pro 12.9 or smaller but can also handle the MacBook Air or Pro 13.3 or MacBook Air 11.6.
- For you Microsoft fans it will fit the Surface Pro series as well.
- It will fit even with a thin protective case on it.
- I found just the right luggage tag with a vintage blank identification card; look like it was made for the case. I attached this with a deerskin simple hang strap. Easy to remove and lays flat against the case.
This one is definitely an eye catcher. It looks like it belongs on a 1940s movie set. The real deal; true vintage. Most of our tech gear that we carry today is smaller and so why keep carrying that big fat computer bag that you have loved for so many years when you can go minimalist and have something that truly is a conversation starter.
The measurements in inches are approximately: 13W x 12H x2D
I have this listed as a Men's bag but any woman who appreciates rugged leather goods could make this work for that perfect rugged look.
This beautiful bag comes from a smoke free home and Minnetonka Minnesota. If you live local please contact me if you're interested in local pick up and saving on shipping.
