Vintage 1940’s Swiss army issued messenger bag
This rugged messenger bag was originally designed for Swiss soldiers to use as saddle bags on their horses.
The bag once was one of a pair, connected by a chain and carried one on each side by the horse.
A matching brown saddle leather shoulder strap was attached making it possible to wear.
Swiss army made bags are famous for their design and durability, the quality of the saddle leather and the way it has been sewn together is very high! In addition, the bag is rugged & super stylish!
The bag features a perfect sized compartment for a laptop, documents or other belongings and would be ideal for everyday use!
The bag is in a used-condition, it faded nicely due years of use, giving it
a rugged vintage-look! the leather got a distressed patina which only adds
to the bag’s charm by giving it a rough touch.
The bag stood the test of being used for years and will last just as long!
