French Army Canvas Leather Shoulder Bag - Unused Deadstock - Genuine

《Actual Item, New (Unused)》
Shoulder bag used around the 1950s-1960s.
Rare dead stock from the French military.

*Although unused, one rivet is missing, there is rust and verdigris on the metal fittings, the leather parts are scuffed, and there are areas where the paint has peeled, so it is listed as close to unused. It also has the unique smell of old items.

Maison Margiela has sampled this item.

A sturdy and weighty bag. The strap is robust and hard like a belt.

Made of very thick, tightly woven canvas cotton fabric with some water-repellent properties.
The inside is lined with leather for added strength, suggesting it was designed for carrying tools.
It has no pockets, just a simple design for carrying items.

The strap is made of genuine leather and is detachable.
There are two belt loops on the back.

It's the perfect size for a 13-inch laptop.
It can be used as a shoulder bag or a backpack, offering two-way functionality.

The shoulder strap is detachable and can be split into two adjustable parts (Photo 15).

This is a military vintage item with the traditional heavy construction of leather and fabric, rarely seen in modern military gear.
