Vintage Swiss Military Gear

9.16.2010



 





My boyfriend, Oliver, and I traveled to Switzerland this summer for a visit and some shopping.  We imported a sizable quantity of vintage Swiss Military bags which are being sold at Smash Recoveries in the Junction.  The dates hand-stamped onto these pieces range from the 60s and 70s to as long ago as the 1920s with some of them still bearing name-cards of the soldiers who originally carried them.
