Musette

Musette, circa 1971

This is one of several vintage styles that bear the Musette name. This version features a collar button closure, which was soon replaced by a turnlock in 1972. The strap on this variation was also sewn directly onto the back of the bag.

This is a really nice comparison of both Musette models side-by-side. Note that not only is the closure type different, but so are the strap attachment points.
