Description: VINTAGE 1980's DISTRESSED CANADIAN CARIBOU LEATHER LAPTOP BRIEFCASE BAG R$1198 Our bags are the antidote for the poly lined synthetic leather bags being produced for even really good upscale companies in China. Most of our bags are full-grain leather. Artisan craft, authentic distressed character, and many with modifications unique to our line. We only use high grade belts for straps reminiscent of equestrian leather halter straps and half centimeter thick mooseskin. Nothing wimpy here; quality and character that stands out and stands the test of a truly rugged life-style. 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. My philosophy and 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. My Modifications: I have taken the time to detail this case and recondition the leather. I have added a Mooseskin Handle Wrap! The original thin wrap had worn away and the new owner will truly appreciate the feel of this wonderful Mooseskin every time they pick up their briefcase. I have also used two pieces of Mooseskin and pounded copper rivets to reinforce that handle to guarantee this handle will last for years. If you have more than one briefcase, the handle wrap is removable with the two Antique Brass snaps so you can use it on multiple cases. What I like about this case: Caribou leather; really? Just try to find one made of Caribou in the 21st century. Pretty wild. Also the wonderful distressed leather corners and the nice weathered patina. This bag has been beautifully distressed by real people over many years; not by machines like many companies do these days. It got distressed by being loved till it got to me. It will have to, in the words of James Bond, "Die Another Day" :-) People are flocking back to the traditional hard-side cases because they are really easy to pack and it is easy to get access to all your gear by just putting it on your lap and popping the spring loaded combination locks open. The world renown Garfield, New Jersey Presto Lock company manufactures hardware and locks for the finest Briefcases in the world; so you are getting the best lock available and from a time that they were made here in the USA. This briefcase has the true vintage look which is so popular today. It says without saying anything that you like quality and are not afraid to be different. I imagine a business professional who appreciates the fantastic vintage look commuting on the Subway or Light-rail just popping in their lap, then "Thwack...Thwack the combination locks open, and then flipping open their MacBook 15 inch laptop and writing their next masterpiece all on the way to work. This briefcase is sure to get comments and compliments. What fun you will have! The measurements in inches are approximately: 18 x 13 x 4 As show in the photos: This bag fits my mock-up wooden MacBook Pro 2017 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. The fan-file can also fit nicely as shown a 12.9 inch iPad Pro or a Surface Pro 2017 or even both. The fan-file is removable giving you freedom to take larger things in the same case. When getting this vintage masterpiece ready I checked to see if my 2011 giant Toshiba 17 Inch Laptop Fit. It did fit! It has the measurements of 16 1/4 inches by 10 1/2 inches. If you would like me to check for your specific measurements please reach out to me. I have this bag listed as a man's bag. But to a woman who is looking for that vintage rugged look this would be perfect. 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 and saving on shipping. ---Reederang is curator of vintage leather and canvas dry goods.
