Circa 2021-2024, based on the current logo font style and the condition of the distressing.
Cultural Significance
Represents the modern shift toward 'honest' materials and the rejection of high-gloss corporate luxury in favor of rugged, artisanal pieces that tell a story through wear.
Condition Notes
Very Good condition. The exterior shows natural variations and minor surface scuffing which is intentional for this leather type. Structure is well-preserved. Hardware shows minor friction wear on the zipper teeth.
Value Estimate
Retail Price: $70-$100 USD. Current Resale Market: $35-$55 USD depending on the depth of the patina and interior cleanliness.
Care & Maintenance
Apply a high-quality leather cream or balsam every 6 months. Avoid water exposure; if wet, dry naturally away from heat. Store in its dust bag with light stuffing to maintain the flat silhouette.
