Reederang Original Mooseskin Moccasin Briefcase $1977.25
You might ask why I decided to make a briefcase. Well answer is very simple, the first time I discovered moose skin (9-10 oz ;0.5 cm thick), I knew I had to make a briefcase out of it because it was the most fantastic leather I've ever touched in my life. When you feel this leather you will be so amazed. I have scoured the web looking for other people who have made moose skin briefcases and have not found one. The look of the handle is reminiscent of vintage football leather lacing or baseball glove lacing...
The reason I use the word moccasin in the description and title, is because when you look at it and feel it, if you like moccasins, you'll like this briefcase. If a moccasin designer / cobbler were to make a briefcase; this is likely what it might look like. I personally have several pair of moccasins and they are my favorite shoes to wear; they are flexible and don't need much time to break in. Creating this case took me several hours over a many day period to design and construct this "one of a kind" briefcase duffel bag carry-all. A person can carry everything from a 17 inch size laptop as shown in the pictures or even a basketball as shown in the pictures.
Simple one-buckle solid brass fastening. It's minimalistic in design and rugged to the core. I have used very thick 9 to 10 ounce moose skin. I have used pounded copper rivets and a quarter inch hardwood 1940's yardstick as the handle support. I like re-purposed items and this yardstick fit the bill perfectly.
I have strengthened up the corners with pounded copper rivets and leather washers on this bag giving it a durability for years to come. Literally giving it an heirloom quality; you can pass it on to your kids! If you are not familiar with pounded copper rivets, they are a really old school re-enforcement that us next to impossible to remove. I have even tried to drill some out before when I have made a mistake and I could not do it. I use leather washers to give it even more durability.
The measurements are approximately: 13 1/2 inches tall by 16 inches wide by 4 inches deep. Moose skin is extremely flexible and thus a laptop that's 17 inches wide will fit in it.
One final note: many briefcases today that are made with poly lining have so many pockets it's hard to remember where you put your stuff. This bag because it's minimalistic design has only one pocket and so it's easy to find your stuff. :-) If you're looking for a one-of-a-kind briefcase this is it. ~Reederang

I also make custom-made backpacks from my favorite leather: Moose skin. Each Moose is individually hunted in Canada (hunts usually cost around $4000 USD), then the meat is used or gifted by the hunter (you cannot buy Wild Game meat in the USA or Canada). It takes a half of a Moose to make the pictured backpack and they are a durable treasure to be used for generations to come. Moose skin, like deerskin, does not dry out. It is the most luxurious leather I have ever touched.
