Advert Description
This bag was issued to the England football team players when UMBRO was still the national team's kit supplier.
I obtained this bag from an England international player of the time while I was working closely with the FA and the team back while UMBRO was kit supplier and I have not seen another once since. This bag is extremely rare and it is my understanding that they were only allocated to England team players and a handful of team officials of the time.
Made by Cole-Haan for UMBRO, this bag features the trademark national team's "Three Lions" England badge as well as the UMBRO logo at the bottom left corner (see main picture). The bag is made from thick leather and is all black in colour and weighs a very impressive 2kg. It is equipped with two strong carry handles and a removable leather shoulder strap with an adjustable buckle.
On the outside, it contains a pocket with the "three lions" England badge which is deep enough to hold a large size iPhone. Inside are two leather card holder wallets, including one with a zip fastener, as well as two pen holders on one side of the bag, while on the other side is a large pouch with a 10" zip fastener opening.
Overall specifications:
22" (56 cm) long
10" (26 cm) wide
13" (33 cm) high/deep.
Weight: 1.97 kg ( 2 kg).
The bag has not had much use and is in very good overall condition, still retaining that distinctive fresh leather smell from when new. It has been kept in dry storage for several years.
A true collector's piece, unlikely to be seen again on the market, this would suit an England memorabilia collector, or a collector of football memorabilia in general. Not only is it a collector's item, it is of such fantastic construction and practical use, the buyer could easily use it for holidays and weekends away and impress all their friends and colleagues by having the most unique bag out there.
Probably the rarest bag to come onto the market this year. Make sure you don't miss out.
