Bag was custom made by Simon Baker in Scotland.

Some details on Simon's work here:
http://www.styleforum.net/t/319219/custom-hand-sewn-bag-from-simon-baker-and-full-review

Made with the finest quality Sedgwick bridle butt in Havana Brown - a rich shade of brown that varies between medium brown and very dark brown, almost black, depending on the light.

The bag is entirely hand stitched. Sadly amazing craftsmanship like this is becoming less and less common....

It features three compartments - the centre partition being slightly larger to accommodate a padded laptop, charger etc. Chrome/nickel plated hardware. Shoulder strap, and front straps similar to some older Swaine Adeney Brigg cases.

Unfortunately it has my initials on it (S.J.N.) - but its hidden under the flap.

Measures 17" wide (43 cm) x 13" high (33 cm) (excluding the handle), and is 5" (12.5cm) thick - expanding to about 8" (20cm) .

As this uses this really thick high quality bridle leather, it weighs in at 3.4 kilograms (7.5 pounds).

Selling as I need to downsize my bag collection, and this one was just a little too big for my needs.

Cost me $US1600 shipped (1027 British pounds) - yours for just $US850 <<< now $780 >>> including worldwide shipping.
