vintage 1970s olive brown SADDLE bag Brazilian leather shoulder purse
Brazilian made leather saddle bag in stunning shade of olive brown/ green, circa 1970s vintage.
Flap closure with rows of zig- zag stitch detailing.
Small zippered pocket on the front of the bag just under the flap; the main body is divided into three pockets with a small snapped flap closure pocket on the inner back wall. Optional tab snap closure secures the top edge of the bag.
Shoulder strap attaches with narrow leather loops on either side of the bag- strap is on the wider side for comfort. Slide leather piece for additional padding. Snap adjustments for several different lengths.
Leather is supple and slightly textured- thick and sturdy with a wonderfully broken- in patina.
Interior is unlined/ natural leather backing (suede) and does show some darkening from use, as shown. Condition is used vintage- very clean save for interior darkening, some minor scuffs, etc., all of which add character.
A wonderful size and shape in a great accent color- perfect year- round!
