Vintage 1941 WWII era Swiss army issued messenger bag
This rugged leather messenger bag was originally issued to Swiss soldiers during World War II and was designed to serve as part of a pair of saddle bags carried on horseback. The two bags would have been connected by a chain, slung over either side of the saddle. Later on, this particular bag was converted into a shoulder bag with the addition of a matching brown leather strap, securely fastened with four rivets on each side.
A true testament to Swiss military craftsmanship, the bag features a timeless and functional design. The high-quality saddle leather and durable hand-stitched construction are built to last a lifetime.
It offers a spacious compartment, perfectly sized to carry a laptop, documents, or other daily essentials — making it a practical and stylish companion for everyday use.
The bag is in well-used vintage condition. The leather has developed a beautiful patina and shows signs of natural fading, lending it a rugged, authentic character. The front flap straps exhibit some small surface cracks from age but remain strong and supple. The entire bag has been carefully treated with leather grease and antique wax to moisturize the leather and protect it with a subtle glossy finish.
Having already stood the test of time, this unique piece is both a collectible military relic and a fully functional everyday bag — ready for years of continued use.

Vintage 40s WWII British sheepskin jerkin
This historic sheepskin jerkin was issued by the Merchant Navy Comforts Service (MNCS) to shipwrecked sailors during World War II. The MNCS was a vital wartime organization dedicated to supporting British merchant seamen who often endured perilous conditions at sea. Volunteers across Britain contributed by knitting warm garments and gathering books, toiletries, and other small comforts to provide relief and dignity to sailors in times of need.
The jerkin is made from thick, insulating sheepskin and is stamped in two places with “PROPERTY OF THE MERCHANT NAVY COMFORTS SERVICE”, marking it as an authentic piece of wartime naval history.
It would make a striking addition to any WWII or maritime collection, and also serves as a bold statement piece for wear or display.
After over 80 years, the jerkin remains in worn but evocative condition, showing signs of heavy use. It has developed a beautifully distressed patina, with visible rips and hand-stitched repairs—all contributing to its authenticity and rugged charm.
