This Rocket Bag is one of 30 limited-edition bags sold by lottery in the magazine Begin, which commissioned Bill Amberg when stylish men were clamoring for this bag. I applied for this and was lucky enough to win, purchasing it for about 90,000 yen at the time. (Now, even the normal bridle leather ones cost nearly 300,000 yen...) This Begin special edition Rocket Bag is characterized by its bridle leather, which usually has a smooth finish, but features a straw grain finish with fine vertical lines (similar to Louis Vuitton's Epi). Thanks to this finish, I personally think "scratches are not noticeable" is the best part (the normal model has a smooth finish, so it looks beautiful at first, but scratches inevitably appear with use, deeply wounding not only the bag but also my heart...;) The interior is also changed to green suede, which was very classical and cool, and I loved it. Even though it's already a rare Rocket Bag, since it's a limited edition of 30, I've never seen anyone else with it, and I still get approached by shop staff often, haha. The size is W40.5 x H27 x D9cm, measured by an amateur. Sophisticated items don't lose their beauty over time, and the matching of the aluminum machined handle and the glossy outer leather, as well as the simple, minimalist appearance that eliminates all unnecessary elements, still feels completely modern even now. (The select shop guji recently commissioned and sold a Rocket Bag with a cordovan material.) I cherished it very much, so it's in relatively good condition for something from about 30 years ago, but it's a used item that has been used and stored by an amateur for about 30 years, so I would like to sell it to someone who understands the current condition. 【About Bill Amberg's Rocket Bag】 The Rocket Bag is a bag created by Bill Amberg, known as the "magician of leather," and it was named because its side profile looks like a rocket. It is also housed in the "V&A Museum" in the UK, making it Bill Amberg's representative work in both name and reality. It was almost always found in high-sensitivity select shops such as Beams, Ships, and Arrows.
