GREAT find!. Roger Van S was a 1950s designer who seemed to take styles just a little bit farther. This satchel is an excellent example of that--a bit larger, more brass, heavier pebbled leather, and, certainly, more color!
This satchel or doctor's bag is very heavy leather with lots and lots of texture. It is rather large, at 13 1/2" wide at the widest point, by 6 1/2" high by 2 1/2" deep. The padded, semi-rigid handle has a 6 1/2" drop. Lining is sunshine yellow linen, with one long pocket with a metal zipper. Tiny brass plaque has the Roger Van signature. Thick disc snap closure. Lined pocket on the outside front of the bag. Mint condition. Perhaps never carried.
