WS Foster & Sons Leather Gladstone/Kit Bag

A stunning example of a leather kit bag, more commonly known as a Gladstone bag, made by WS Foster & Sons of Jermyn Street, London. WS Foster & Sons was established in 1840, and is still operating and in private English ownership.

This bag is in near perfect condition, after having minimal use (made 2010s). The leather has been fed and is in a  nice supple condition, there are no rips or tears and the stitching is all intact and strong. The original lining as you would expect is in perfect condition.

The bag comes complete with a set of keys, leather name tag and shoulder strap.

This bag is large! Measuring 55cm x 36cm x 30cm. You can fit a lot of kit in there! For someone who has always desired one of these, then it's a must have item.

They stopped making bags like this in 2019. The last time I looked they were retailing at £2500 plus VAT! If you own a Pre-war classic or just love the style of the 1920/30s then this one is for you.
