About the Item

1930s Vintage Leather Briefcase Satchel – English Patina Bag Fits MacBook Step back into a world of classic utility and understated style with this authentic English leather satchel, dating from around the 1930s. Crafted in beautifully aged tan leather, it carries a depth of colour and patina that only decades of honest use can produce. This satchel is full of character – from the natural speckling and tonal variations of the hide to the scuffs, scratches, and marks of a life well-travelled. The leather has developed a warm caramel tone, enhanced by darker speckled areas and softened corners, creating a unique aesthetic steeped in history. • Date: Circa 1930s • Origin: England • Material: Full grain leather with steel and brass hardware • Dimensions: • Height: 33.5cm • Width: 39cm • Depth: 9.5cm • Height including handle: 40cm • Details: • Two long front straps with steel buckles • Strong stitched leather handle with visible age and wear • Silver-tone clasp fastening to front • Handwritten and stamped initials inside, adding a personal touch and sense of ownership history • Marked ‘PTT’ on the front flap, potentially indicating postal or professional use Compatibility: Suitable for modern use, comfortably fitting all current MacBook and iPad models, making it a practical working satchel as well as a timeless design piece. Condition: Good vintage condition with age-related wear throughout. Surface marks, scratches, and patina commensurate with its history, structurally sound with working fastenings. Styling suggestions: Use as a good practical bag for daily work, as a statement accessory with classic tailoring, display in a study or retail setting as an evocative prop, or simply admire its quiet testament to time, craftsmanship, and the working lives it has carried.
