£220.00
Black Beauty 1877 messenger bag.

A stunning new bag to add to our 19th century literature range - Black Beauty! Made from distressed leaf green Lyveden leather, this is a beautiful bag with echoes of the first edition of the 1877 novel by Anna Sewell, which was green and black, with gold leaf.
The body of the bag is made slightly lighter than some of our other bags, with a beautiful inner pocket in a William Morris fabric, lined in mustard yellow. The adjustable strap is black, with a burnt tan shoulder pad; all hand stitched together with gold linen thread.
The clasps are solid brass horse harness fittings, and, of course, our signature mark coin on the front is a Victoria penny from the 1877 publication date.
A truly sensational bag!
