USA RARE VINTAGE 1920s BLACK PIGSKIN (Could be Water-Buffalo) LEATHER IPAD BIBLE CASE BRIEFCASE BAG R$998

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 wonderful vintage old antique 1920s briefcase is the amazing condition it is in. It looks like it has been used regularly and has a wonderfully distressed patina. That said, it does not have the wear that you would expect with this age of a case. The leather is definitely not cowhide as that would have turned to dust many years ago. I am guessing either Pigskin leather or Water-Buffalo leather. Water-Buffalo was used extensively during this era. It is really amazing to think that the original stitching is solid and the spring in the 1925 patented Tuck-Tite clasp is still going strong.  It also looks like it is ready to continue to take a beating for many more decades. I love this old stuff that just lasts and lasts - they don't make them like this anymore.  

I imagine a Pastor using this as a Bible case as it will fit even the biggest study bible (see photo with ESV Bible). It is bound to be the start of many wonderful conversations.  Definitely for someone who appreciates the rugged and vintage look. It is unlined leather; this is very rare these days.  It is really rare to find a bag at upscale retailers that is unlined.  In my opinion; unlined is so much better and lasts so much longer as this one has. 

Could be great for a period-piece movie or tv show series..

I have strengthened up the stress points on this bag giving it durability for years to come. Literally giving it an heirloom quality; you can pass it on to your kids! If you are not familiar with pounded copper rivets, they are a really old-school re-enforcement that is next to impossible to remove. I have even tried to drill some out before when I have made a mistake and I could not do it. I use leather washers to give it even more durability.  

This bag has been beautifully distressed by real people over many years.  Not by machines.  It got distressed by being loved till it got to me.  I have taken the time to recondition the leather. You really cannot buy a bag like this with the modifications anywhere but from 725BeautifulBags. 

The measurements in inches are approximately: 13H x 11W x 2D (not including the handle)

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.
