RARE CLEAN VINTAGE 1980s ELEPHANT SKIN LEATHER MACBOOK PRO BRIEFCASE BAG R$1998
RARE CLEAN VINTAGE 1980s ELEPHANT SKIN LEATHER MACBOOK PRO BRIEFCASE BAG R$1998
My bags are the antidote for the poly-lined synthetic leather run-of-the-mill bags being produced in China. Most of my bags are full-grain leather; Artisan craft , with authentic distressed character, and many with modifications unique to our line. We only use high-grade men's belts for shoulder straps. This leather is reminiscent of equestrian leather halter straps. I also use half centimeter thick moose skin. Nothing wimpy here; quality and character that stands out and stands the test of a truly rugged lifestyle.
Invest in a bag that you'll love more and more over time. Not all leather bags are created the same. A great quality leather bag is supposed to look better with time as the leather acquires marks and age-related wear.
Make sure to check out my whole store. At the time of this listing, I have 180 items all unique and different. Many with added moose skin handles; my "trademark" unique idea. Once you have tried it you will wonder how you functioned before without an inside handle. Also on many of my briefcases, I add a moose skin handle wrap. The handle is the point of contact that the owner has with their bag and moose skin leather is so pleasing to touch.
My philosophy in writing descriptions is: a picture speaks 1000 words. So please look at the pictures and email me with any questions. That said, here is my description:
---------------
I decided to have a few really unique cases available on my site after I was told by eBay that they have a policy against certain animal skin products being sold.
I have been selling briefcases, backpacks, suitcases, and duffel bags for a while now and I have never come across any bag made of elephant skin.
I was told by the previous owner that it is genuine elephant skin with pigskin leather interior. I have no way of verifying it. The name brand, Sanandreas, comes up with zero results when searching for elephant skin briefcases. I did find a few others to compare photos to and deduce that the info I received from the previous owner is correct.
I found this about Elephant skins on-line: "Harvesting Elephant Hides Legally
Hunting reserves are the source of all legally traded African elephant skins. It’s very similar to our deer season in the United States. Designers, manufactures, and leather enthusiasts should not feel emotional or have guilt for using this leather as we are not creating a demand rather using a by-product from legal hunts.
In Minnesota we hunt deer and eat the meat and sell the skin. In Canada and the USA we hunt moose eat the meat and sell the hide. In Africa, they hunt Elephant eat the meat and sell the hides. It sounds strange to us but it is legal as the population, just like moose, is growing rapidly. Elephants can cause many problems in certain areas in Africa.
Now to this wonderful Elephant Skin Briefcase:
What I love about it is the fantastic handle, unique texture of the hide, and the solid brass combination locking mechanism (currently set to 000). The design is great too. The inside has two large gussets both large enough for a MacBook Pro 15" or 16". I like that in addition to the two large gusset pockets it has a zipper pocket large enough for a Surface Pro or a regular sized iPad easily. It will even fit the 2017 iPad Pro 12.9 which is the largest sized iPad ever made.
The measurements of this great case, in inches, are approximately: 16.25 x 13 (not including the handle) x 5 (when expanded or full)
As shown in the photos: This bag fits my mock-up wooden 15" MacBook Pro 2017 with the measurements of 13.75" x 9.48" x Thickness 0.61" It may fit a bit larger laptop so please contact me if you want me to measure for your specific laptop.
This bag fits the MacBook Pro with the measurements of: Width: 11.97 inches, Depth: 8.36 inches, Height: 0.59 inch. It may fit a bit larger laptop so please contact me if you want me to measure for your specific laptop.
This bag fits my iPad Pro 12.9 very nicely. Measurements of the 12.9 are in inches: 12.04 x 8.69 x .27 for your reference. No need to carry large rolling bags anymore. Now with our tech (tablets and small laptops) getting smaller, we can carry vintage style bags instead of the "run-of-the-mill" bags being produced in the 21st century.
This bag has the true vintage look which is so popular today. It says without saying anything that you like quality and, are not afraid to be different. I imagine a business professional who appreciates the vintage look taking this to a meeting. It is sure to get comments and compliments.
I have this bag listed as a man's bag. But to a woman who is looking for that vintage rugged look, this would be perfect.
This beautiful bag comes from a smoke-free home in Minnetonka Minnesota. If you live local please contact me if you're interested in local pick up and saving on shipping.
