Live Auction: Leather D&D Doctor's Bag
Winner: warkface for $8,282.82
A doctor's bag, also known as a lawyer's bag or dulles bag, is leather bag with a hinged frame that opens to allow access to the entire contents. This one has been sized to fit standard tabletop gaming books, folders, magical tomes, grimoires, or other similar objects you might find on your travels.
The body is made of thick pull-up leather, a material with a rich, deep colour that lightens as it flexes and wears, and will develop a unique patina as it ages. Scratches and scuffs will show easily, but simply rub them with your thumb and they will fade as the waxes and oils shift with your body heat, becoming part of the unique character of the bag.
The frame is custom made, from aluminium wrapped in vegetable-tanned leather.
On the front and back, hand-carved vegetable-tanned leather panels depict traditional floral designs, polyhedra, and a mighty dragon.
Inside is suede, to provide a soft lining to protect the contents.
The closure strap and handles are made of vegetable-tanned leather and attached with brass hardware.
