These scarce had to find vintage jewels were initially issued to the Swiss Military from the 1950s to the 1960s; their original use was to carry first aid medical supplies like bandages, alcohol, surgical scissors, or a gas mask. These Swiss medical or gas mask bags are made with 100% "salt & pepper" canvas. The "salt and pepper" canvas was created in Switzerland during WWII from plant fibers mixed with cotton strands due to rationing; since then, it has become synonymous with Swiss gear. These highly functional bags feature an adjustable cotton strap that extends up to 47.5" and can be used as a cross-body or shoulder bag.
