The green leather with vintage linen fire hose (it's from 1961-as stated on the hose) is a functional and stylish crossbody. Not too big, not too small, but just right.
Each handbag is one of a kind, so you can wear it confidently knowing you won’t see someone else carrying the same bag. I guarantee it.
The natural linen vintage fire hose peeks out from the green leather. The stripes on the hose are original as is the black "1961" and "<FM>" wording. The green leather will age beautifully and has an unusual dark and light green color finish. It’s hard to describe, but very cool.
The linen fire hose is from the 60s and pretty darn sweet.
When properly taken care of, this leather handbag will last a long time and only get better with age. Why wouldn’t you want a handbag that will last for years and years? You're paying good money for this bag, it should be made to last. And it is.
