Item Description

If you love to travel, this one of a kind bag is for you!  The main flap in the front features an old fashioned map of the world highlighted with vintage tones of soft blue, green, red and yellow that lend the piece character and style.  The flap is held in place with two light tan leather straps and secured with silver buckles. There is a third chestnut colored strap in the middle that hangs from a beautifully detailed image of a compass rose. The body of the case consists of solid, rich tones of dark brown and there is also a handle at the top that can be used to carry the bag as a brief case. While designed to be used as an attaché, it also converts into a backpack with the help of a 44" adjustable strap (included). This stunning, original work will stir up memories of your travels and be a conversation piece at any gathering.
