This bag, originally called "map bag / Kartentasche" was initially created for Swiss military personnel to transport important documents, but today it is a versatile bag that can also accommodate an iPad mini, Kindle or small books. It is made of high-quality leather with a rich, waxy texture, and it was skillfully hand-stitched by a specialized Swiss saddler using a medium to dark brown color leather. The level of craftsmanship is of very high swiss quality.
