Vintage Gabon Airways leather travel bag – dark green airline issue, large doctor style

A striking vintage airline travel bag originally produced for Gabon Airways, finished in dark green corrected leather with bold period branding. This is a classic large “doctor” or flight-crew style bag: structured, practical, and full of character. The leather shows the honest wear you’d expect from an authentic working piece, with a deep sheen and softened handle that gives it real presence rather than a restored or over-refinished look. Key details: • Material: Corrected leather with protective finish; durable, wipe-clean, and typical of mid-century airline and utility bags • Colour: Deep dark green with white Gabon Airways logo print • Construction: Structured body, reinforced piping, rigid base • Closure: Three front metal clasps plus top zip compartment • Hardware: Brass-tone metal throughout; all closures working correctly • Era: Likely mid–late 20th century airline issue or promotional crew bag Condition: 7.5 / 10 Structurally excellent and fully functional. One small nick on the back (pictured) and general surface scuffs and marks consistent with age and use. No structural damage, no missing hardware, zips and clasps operate smoothly. Measurements (taken flat, approx, in cm): • Width: 53 • Depth: 23 • Height: 40 Brief styling notes: Works exceptionally well as a statement travel or weekend bag. Looks best with tailored outerwear, knitwear, or workwear-inspired outfits — the patina suits wool coats, denim, and leather shoes beautifully. — From a trusted seller Fast, clear, and friendly communication.
