You recognize a bag of a known shape from ten meters. Leather dries out by the radiator, and the plastic dust bag sweats. In the overview Security for collectors this is larger than jewelry and smaller than a piece of furniture, and the price often depends on the dust bag, the clasp, and the receipt.

What gets ruined without a thief

Heat, light, a stuffed cabinet that presses the shape, damp that mildews. You store with the shape kept, in the dark, breathing, not in tight film. Do not set the hardware so that it colors the leather beside it.

When someone comes

A shelf full of known models is a display. The bag whose price you want replaced does not lie there, and not in the hall on the dresser. It lies in the locked cabinet, receipt and card in the document cabinet. Worn and unworn are two states on the list.

The folder

Model, year, dimensions, with dust bag and box or without, receipt, photo of the clasp and the interior stamp.
