GFG Large Avery Tote Deluxe — Mocha Full-Grain Leather, Zipper Top, Rare Version

Substantial mocha full-grain leather gives this tote its beautiful patina and confident presence. This is the rare older version of the Large Avery Deluxe, with a finished zipper-top edge (no longer offered by GFG) and a lined pocket layout that keeps things orderly inside. I usually clean leather bags before listing, but this one was too perfect as-is — I didn’t want to disturb the maker’s original patina, which still looks untouched. The tonal variations you see — especially on the base and corners — are not signs of wear, but the natural result of hand-dyeing and full-grain character. That’s part of what makes each piece unique. Details (updated): – Full-grain mocha leather with copper rivets and brass key clip – Zipper top closure (older design, now discontinued) – One exterior pocket, two interior flap pockets, unlined suede interior – Drop-length straps (11 in / 28 cm) show almost no wear – Embossed with previous owner’s initials (“HAF”) inside – Color variation due to original hand-dyeing and natural leather grain — expected and desirable in full-grain pieces – Weight: 3.5 lb (1.59 kg), Capacity: 19 L – Approx. 17 in (top) × 13 in H × 6 in D (43 × 33 × 15 cm) – To protect: store upright, avoid long sun exposure – Spot-clean only with a damp cloth if needed I’m so excited for whoever ends up with this bag. These early zipper-top versions are rare, and it’s a treat to find one in this condition.
