Vintage 70s Vegetable Tanned Leather Backpack Southwest Braided Handtooled Bag

Hippie musician estate sale back of closet find! This bag is gently wearable, the straps and clasps are all functional. The light tan leather has an amazing color, character and patina. The braided leather, hand-stitching and the top flap Southwest patch add some distinct details to this true 70's vintage find.

The bag shows lots of leather patina, scuffs and scratches, all typical of age and use. The straps and rivets are all whole but should definitely be handled with a soft touch as the leather is on the drier side and should be treated professionally. 

A few of the holes in the straps (closer to the bag, away from the strap ends) have torn a bit and widened, the rivet backing leather on the bag top flap also shows some tears, see the last few photos. A few spots of discoloration can also be seen.

The bag measures approximately 10" in width and 13" in height, the bag is approximately 3" deep when expanded. Each strap is approximately 28" in total length.

Please do review all the photos as they tell an accurate story of condition.
