This is such a great bag; We absolutely understand the name (though they are now called flight attendants) it was given; These had been issued to flight attendants as their standard bag. A perfect size for a carry on bag, but not so big that you couldn't use it as a large medium sized purse on a daily basis. Perfect for a person on the go (and it fits an iPad too)! This was made in the United States and the leather is buttery soft, 30 years later... a sign of true quality!

~CONDITION:

It is in very good vintage condition considering it's a 30 something year old workhorse! There is minor piping wear at the buckle areas, which is very common in this style, but they are minor- see closeup pic. It came with scratches on the front flap...after a lot of massaging and conditioning of the leather, they are severely minimized. The bag has been bathed, slowly dried, given a deep conditioning, and the brass polished in preparation for her next stop in life.
