Its rectangular structure with side gussets, as well as its rigid lines, attest to an authentic vintage style. The visible side shows a patinated brown finish, with pronounced signs of wear and homogeneous wear across the entire surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe upper handle, sheathed and solidly sewn, allows for classic hand carrying.
