The range of vintage leather bags on Vintage Seekers has been increased   with a new selection of the finest example from the 20th century,  online  now.
Two of Vintage Seekers’ leather bags were made for  army officers  during the Second World War: an original 1940s WWII  officer’s map case  and a 1940s leather officer’s kit bag, which has the  embossed initials  ‘C.C.M’.
The oldest piece is a WWI military  camel saddlebag commissioned in  England for the Egyptian military  store, most likely used in the  Palestine Sinai or Gallipoli campaign  from 1910-1914.
With their rich brown leather and belted straps  the bags and cases  are exemplary of early 20th century military kit  design. These bags fit  in perfectly with the current trend for  satchels, yet have the enduring  appeal of true vintage items.
In  women’s fashion there’s now also a 1920s French barrel-shaped  boules  bag. It features brass fittings and is a very unusual shape with  gold  twist lock and semicircular handle. A stunning piece in fantastic   condition.
The new range of vintage leather military bags sit  alongside the  larger leather Gladstone weekend bags, vintage leather  luggage and  ladies’ crocodile handbags listed in Vintage Seekers  Fashion.
