Billykirk Steamer Bag Olive Green Canvas and Leather





Item:  This is a gorgeous handmade bag by Billykirk, known as the Steamer.  I don't see this style available on their online store anymore, but when I bought it retailed for $278, I believe -- that was 3 years ago I guess, and I only took it out shopping once.  Since then, it's been in my closet, so aside from being a little flattened, it's in brand new shape.  The leather used on this bag is a heavenly, thick and sturdy hide, and the canvas is of an equal weight and strength.  It's big enough to hold a laptop, sweater, wallet, cell, etc.  Closes with two functioning buckles and has a metal frame that keeps the top structured (bottom is likewise structured by the leather).  Measures 15 inches tall x 12 inches wide x 6 inches deep.

Why I'm giving it up:  I've done numerous cleaning sessions in my closet and put stuff up on this blog, and time and time again have decided NOT to post this bag because...I love it.  But now I'm coming to grips that I'll never really use it.  Like I've said before, I now work for a handbag company and pretty much carry that brand exclusively. 

Asking: $125, including FedEx ground shipping in the US

Posting ends: Wednesday, July 27
