Description: VINTAGE 1950s BULGARIAN THICK CANVAS SADDLE LEATHER BACKPACK RUCKSACK BAG R$1198 Step aside, ordinary bags, because my collection is the antidote to the synthetic, poly-lined, run-of-the-mill bags being churned out by the factories of China. I take pride in my artistry and craftsmanship, sourcing the finest, full-grain leather cases; each exudes an authentic, distressed character. Each bag is a masterpiece, some with modifications that are unique to my line, ensuring that you won't find them anywhere else. The quality of my bags speaks for itself, and I don't cut corners when it comes to the shoulder straps. I only use high-grade men's belts to ensure that the straps are not only strong but comfortable, too. This leather is reminiscent of the equestrian leather halter straps that are used to handle powerful horses. And if that's not enough, I also incorporate half-centimeter thick mooseskin into many of my designs. Nothing wimpy here - just quality and character that will stand the test of time, even under the most rugged of lifestyles. Invest in a bag that will only get better with time, as the leather acquires marks and wear that adds to its unique charm. Not all leather bags are created equal, and my collection is proof of that. It's supposed to look better with age, reflecting the journey that it has been on with its owner. But don't just take my word for it. Take a stroll through my store, where you'll find 179+ unique vintage pieces that are sure to catch your eye. And be sure to look out for my trademark idea - adding mooseskin handles inside my bags. Trust me; once you've experienced the convenience of the inside handle, you'll never want to go back. And for those who want something extra special, many of my briefcases also feature a mooseskin handle wrap, ensuring that the point of contact with your bag is as pleasant to touch as possible. My philosophy is simple: let the pictures do the talking. Take a look and let me know if you have any questions. But one thing is for sure - with my bags, you won't just be buying just a functional accessory, but a timeless piece of art that you'll cherish for years to come. --- What I love about this wonderful backpack: It is imported from the great nation of Bulgaria - hand-selected by one of my trading partners there.Thick marine canvas body and harness leather straps with felt padding. Padded Back for Comfort.It has a nice warm used patina - the kind that can take years to create. I have added a super convenient inside handle. I use high grade 7-8 ounce moose leather which is very comfortable to hold in your hand, and add a handle on the inside. The inside handle is super convenient to hang inside of a locker and get your things in and out of it. (also be hung over the back of a chair or on a hook mounted in your office; that is what I personally do in my office) One of the frustrating parts of using a backpack is that it can be difficult to load your gear. Having a handle on the inside takes care of this and makes the bag superior to any other backpack duffel bag that you would bring to the gym. Two Large front Pockets. They are easy to fit nearly any insulted bottle in. I have two YETI Bottles and both fit nicely even in one. I can even fit my full-size Thompson Chain Reference Bible inside either of the pockets.I have added a superior drawstring made from Baseball Glove Leather Lacing. I have added a superior drawstring stopper made from the edge of a Moose Skin Leather Hide. It has some cool fuzzy edges of the hide that I took the stopper piece from. Also, it slides easily but holds firmly as well. It really is the perfect stopper.I stitched up a hole with Poly Thread. See the Photos.I also lengthened up the shoulder straps so that the backpack will be easier to put on and will fit more comfortably. The additional 3 holes of length make it much quicker to put on the backpack and you can even wear a jacket as we do in Minnesota for about 4-5 months a year. I attached the moose skin leather in bone color to each strap using pounded copper rivets. 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 use leather washers to give them even more durability and a truly rugged look. The measurements in inches are approximately: 17H x 15W x 7D As shown in the photos: This bag fits my mock-up wooden MacBook Pro 2019 with the measurements of 13.75" x 9.48" x Thickness 0.61" It may fit a bit larger laptop so please contact me if you want me to measure for your specific laptop. This bag fits my iPad Pro 12.9 very nicely. Measurements of the 12.9 are in inches: 12.04 x 8.69 x .27 for your reference. No need to carry large rolling bags anymore. Now with our tech (tablets and small laptops) getting smaller, we can carry vintage style bags instead of the "run-of-the-mill" bags being produced in the 21st century. 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 to save on shipping.
