[SOLD] p.a.p. Swedish Tote Bag

photo from pap accessories website
What: Minimalist black leather tote bag with flap closure. Handmade in Sweden by Product and Philosophy, and purchased directly from their website. Leather is soft but sturdy. Bag is unlined, no inner pockets. From the PAP sweden website:

PAP works exclusively with small Swedish factories that have a long history of craftsmanship and integrity. Our manufacturers share the typically Scandinavian tradition of respecting the material and working with their hands. The environment in which our products are made is intimate, hands-on and personal.
We buy our skins from leather craftsmen who use old-fashioned methods to stretch, prepare and treat the leather to give it a beautiful texture and supple feel. The skins are sewn by expert leather seamstresses whose great skill and attention to detail ensure that the product is perfectly put together.
Our brass and metal buttons and handles are crafted by a small metal manufacturer that has a long tradition of working with and a deep knowledge of the material. Each carefully minded detail makes for a perfect whole.

Condition: Excellent used. No major scratches or stains. There is one very small scratch on the front of the bag under the flap, which cannot be seen when the flap is closed (see last picture). I have carried the bag a few times but not on a regular basis. Interior is clean, stain and odor-free. It has mostly been stored in a dustbag. The bag has been sprayed with a leather protectant.

Measurements: 15" x 12" x 4 1/2". The handles measure about 6".





Paid: about $250. Asking: $125, including shipping in the U.S.

Listing ends in one week, on October 3rd.
