VINTAGE 1980s LUXURY OSTRICH SKIN HARDSIDE MACBOOK BRIEFCASE BAG R$3248
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 that will stand 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 171 items all unique vintage pieces. 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 moose skin 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:
This is a beautiful vintage hard-sided ostrich leather briefcase in a warm natural tan color often referred to as British Tan. The ostrich leather gives the case a distinctive texture and unmistakable character that simply cannot be replicated by modern embossed leather. It has a sleek, elegant look with clean lines and a refined profile that works equally well in a professional or classic setting.
The leather is in excellent clean condition with the kind of natural character and variation that only genuine leather develops over time. The ostrich quill pattern shows beautifully and the hide has aged gracefully.
The handle appears virtually unused, remaining solid and clean with no visible wear. The locking clasps work flawlessly and are currently set to 000. If the buyer prefers a different combination, I will gladly set the locks to a number of your choosing before shipping.
One feature that makes this briefcase especially attractive is its sleek tapered profile. The back of the case measures about four inches deep, gradually tapering toward the front to approximately three inches, giving it a refined, streamlined silhouette.
It is a striking briefcase that carries the kind of quiet confidence that only authentic vintage leather goods possess.
Measurements:
Width: 18 inches (45.7 cm)
Height: 13 inches (33 cm) not including the handle
Depth at base: 4 inches (10.2 cm)

What I love about this bag:

• Elegant tapered design that gives the briefcase a sleek profile
• Locks work perfectly and can be set to the buyer’s preferred combination

• Handle appears barely used
• A classic professional briefcase with real vintage character
