Seller: ibxvintage ✉️ (321) 100%, Location: Windsor, North Carolina, US, Ships to: US & many other countries, Item: 364542635867 Vintage Carriel Colombiano Leather Cowhide Unisex Satchel Crossbody Shoulder Bag. Carriels, an iconic type of Columbian satchel, were traditionally worn by men in the coffee fields to carry all their necessities while leaving the hands free to work. They are made of fine quality leather and cowhide; the leather is dyed a deep rich garnet red, inky black, or a toasty warm russet. Flap through the loop type closure. The inside boasts many separate pockets. The front section has two open pockets and one loosely flap closed pocket. Behind that section are three more large open pocket as well as a large zip closure pocket. The chamois colored bottom expands like an accordion. This carriel measures approximately H8-5/8" x W9-3/8" with a sturdy top stitched adjustable shoulder strap measuring 46"-50.5". Amazing overall vintage condition. There's a small area of slight scuffing consistent with age/use that would probably disappear with a good cleaning/oiling. Otherwise there are no significant flaws I could find upon close inspection. Please note that it would probably be smart to handle the cowhide section gently due to its age so the hair doesn't fall out or otherwise get damaged. Please carefully review the photos prior to making your selection. Any questions, please ask. Thanks for looking! This item was acquired during the Bell family estate/tag sale held at the 1890 Britten-Bell House in Windsor, NC during July 2022. Mr. Holley Mack Bell Jr. was a journalist, historian, WWII vet, and a Foreign Service Officer who was posted to Chile, Colombia, Ecuador and the Dominican Republic during the 60s and 70s. I pulled this along with many other South American folk art pieces from the estate which almost certainly date to this time. Also, SURPRISE!!! I am throwing in a tiny keychain replica of the carriel which was once used by children as a Barbie purse. More info and photos available upon request. It's in poor-fair condition but since it was almost identical and it originated from the same estate I couldn't separate them.
