The flap of the leather satchel embossed “U.S. Mail” opens to reveal an interior with one leather divider attached to the front portion. A decal of the US Postal Service's standing eagle emblem is adhered to the body of the bag and is visible when the front flap is lifted.The flexible leather and two pleats on the front create a roomy interior. Both sides have a narrow strip of leather riveted near the rim for reinforcement. The bottom joins along the sides by rivets and stitching. The satchel can be carried by a shoulder strap attached to the two D-rings secured to the back by leather strips.
