Description: RARE VINTAGE TUMI BLACK SOFT ITALIAN LEATHER MACBOOK PRO BRIEFCASE BAG $R998 Step aside, ordinary bags, because my collection is the antidote to the synthetic, poly-lined, run-of-the-mill bags being churned out by the factories of China. I take pride in my artistry and craftsmanship, sourcing only the finest full-grain leather cases and bags. I specifically look for cases that exude an authentic, distressed character. Each bag is a masterpiece, some with modifications that are unique to my line, ensuring that you won't find them anywhere else. The quality of my bags speaks for itself, and I don't cut corners when it comes to the added shoulder straps. I only use high-grade men's belts to ensure that the straps are not only strong but comfortable, too. This leather is reminiscent of the equestrian leather halter straps that are used to handle powerful horses. And if that's not enough, I also incorporate half-centimeter thick mooseskin into many of my designs. Nothing wimpy here - just quality and character that will stand the test of time, even under the most rugged of lifestyles. Invest in a bag that will only get better with time, as the leather acquires marks and wear that adds to its unique charm. Not all leather bags are created equal, and my collection is proof of that. It's supposed to look better with age, reflecting the journey that it has been on with its owner. But don't just take my word for it. Take a stroll through my store, where you'll find 194+ unique vintage pieces that are sure to catch your eye. And be sure to look out for my trademark idea - adding thick mooseskin handles inside my bags and backpacks. (Mooseskin in my very favorite leather.) Trust me; once you've experienced the convenience of the inside handle, you'll never want to go back. And for those who want something extra special, many of my briefcases also feature a mooseskin handle wrap, ensuring that the point of contact with your bag is as pleasant to touch as possible. My philosophy is simple: let the pictures do the talking. Take a look and let me know if you have any questions. But one thing is for sure - with my bags, you won't just be buying just a functional accessory, but a timeless piece of art that you'll cherish for years to come. --- What I love about this Vintage Leather Tumi Bag:Mostly made from real Italian Leather (Most Tumi Bags are now made from man-made materials, and even the new leather feels plastic) Not on this case, it feels like a soft luxury Italian leather jacket.I love all the pockets inside and out. Three Outside Zipper Pockets along with a slip pocket too. In the large slip pocket side in the zippered pocket, there is a zipper in the bottom to open and use over the handle of your wheeled carry-on. I love this feature as it really is a secure way to carry your bag. Tumi also has a thin liner in the zipper pocket so when you are using this feature, things will not fall out of the slot that opens to carry on your wheeled carry-on. I have always thought it would be a fun job to have getting to design these briefcases. They are really thoroughly thought out. Inside you have a nice section for papers or books. You also have a section for your MacBook Pro or MacBook Air.The sides of the inside zipper section have padded sides to protect your computer. There is also 3 elastic pockets that would work great for Passport, Business Cards, iPhone, Calculator, or Pens and Pencils. The handles come together nicely and lay on top of each other for a nice fit in your hand.I have taken the time to thoroughly detail this case. So you can be assured it is very clean. I also used a special cleaner on the leather made by Tumi. It looks about 90 percent back to it's original condition. A few scuffs, just enough so people won't ask you about your new bag.My best guess is that this bag was made around 2009-2012. The Strap is made from a nylon seat belt material. Not as thick but the same kind of feel as a seatbelt. The snaps on the ends of the strap are unique. They have a swivel-locking spring mechanism. They only come off when you line them up just right then the spring can be retracted. The measurements in inches are approximately: 17W x 12H x 3DI have this listed as a Men's bag but any woman who appreciates fine luxury leather goods could make this work for that perfect business look. This beautiful bag comes from a smoke-free home and Minnetonka Minnesota. If you live local please contact me if you're interested in local pick-up to save on shipping.
