THE TRADITIONAL HAND STITCHED LID-OVER-BODY SUITCASES BY SWAINE ADENEY BRIGG

OUR MOST TRADITIONAL STYLE SUITCASE.
The lid-over-body design has been available since the 19th century. The shape is constructed using a steel frame in the lid and the body. The Bridle Hide is bonded to vulcanized fibre board and completely hand stitched with natural linen thread using a 'twin needle' saddlery technique.

Shown in Dark London, this magnificent range is also available in Chestnut, Havana, and Black. Other special colours are available to order, please inquire.

Available in five sizes:
20 INCH CASE:

Measuring approximately 20 by 13 by 5.5 inches
22 INCH CASE:

Measuring approximately 22 by 15 by 6.5 inches
25 INCH CASE:

Produced with Traditional Solid Brass Key Locks. The locks and associated fittings are available to be nickel-plated with an additional fee of $180.00 USD. Nickel-Plate looks especially elegant with Black Bridle Hide.

Complementary personalization available on a removable identification tag. Should you wish to have your personalization occur on the body of the case, this must take place during production. There is a fee of $30.00 per character for this type of personalization. Typically personalization is a Blind Stamp (burned into the leather), alternatively, you may select 24K Gold Stamping. Our lettering is rather plain, similar to Times New Roman. Should you require a specific font we should be able to accommodate you. When ordering, please indicate your request in a Comments Area. Not to worry, we will be in touch long before your case is personalized to confirm it will be completed to your liking.

Recently we had a customer request protective corners to be included on his collection. These corners looked very much like those shown on the Chesterford Range above, ...each riveted onto the frame of the case. The additional fee for protective corners of this type is $30.00 per corner.

Canvas Protective Covers with coordinating Bridle Hide trim are available. Each protective cover will be produced to fit your specific piece.

We also have available an 18 inch Attaché / Overnight Suitcase as part of this range. Please look under our Swaine Adeney Attaché Case category.
