Buyer's Premium:

This lot features two vintage brown leather bags of varying styles and periods. The first is a heavy-duty, traditional satchel-style briefcase, likely dating from the mid-20th century. It is constructed from thick, heavy-gauge brown leather with robust hand-stitched seams and a sturdy top carry handle. The design includes a large front flap secured by two adjustable leather straps with metal buckles and a central metal lock mechanism. The second item is a compact, rectangular cross-body shoulder bag from the late 20th century, crafted from polished brown leather with machine-stitched seams. This bag features a front flap with a rectangular brass-toned flip-lock clasp and a long, adjustable leather shoulder strap.
Large Briefcase: 40cm (W) x 31cm (H)
Small Shoulder Bag: 18cm (W) x 22cm (H).


Condition report:

The large briefcase shows significant signs of age-related wear and a heavy patina. There is visible scuffing, scratching, and surface cracking to the leather, particularly concentrated on the adjustable straps and carry handle. The small shoulder bag is in generally good vintage condition, exhibiting minor surface scratches and light scuffing to the edges and base consistent with occasional use.
