Designed specifically for the empeg Mark1, Mark2, and Mark2A(RIO) car stereo!

This leather case utilizes the same foam used for coast guard life vests to protect the stereo from damage if dropped, and it might even keep the embag afloat in the unlikely event of a water landing!

mahogany leather embag
Mahogany leather with antique brass flap clasp.

Standard design incorporates a comfortable handle made using the same leather as the bag body.

The design incorporates material within the flap to distribute the weight to minimize any "sags" (think: three point bending) that may occur with having only one closure.

There is an option for a shoulder strap with additional mounting D-rings on the sides (currently only a black strap is available).

mahogany leather embag suede interior
Mahogany leather and olive suede covered foam padding.

The foam is notched at the top so the face plate fits in snugly & safely within the bag.

This is designed to work specifically with the Mark1, Mark2, and Mark2A (RIO) car stereos.

But the case should also accommodate any other 1-DIN car stereo.

A large zippered pocket on the front provides additional capacity for carrying your cell phone, camera, small tools, etc.

The standard design uses a heavy-duty black plastic coil zipper--as used in commercial bags & packs.

Zippers with brass or nickel teeth are "custom" options.

Antique brass flap clasp detail.
There are options for the closures to the standard black side snap. Shown L to R in the top image: Nickel&Black side snap; slim line black side snap; antique brass "flap clasp" of "tuck catch"; and brass pull-snap button.

The brass and nickel closures are a bit more expensive than the black plastic ones, and I'll be happy to let you know what the charge would be before you place an order.

If you choose brass for the clasp you may also want to request a brass zipper, too!

Bottom image details the antique brass flap clasp, or "tuck catch" on a "custom" mahogany leather embag. (This was taken in natural light, and does accurately represent the color & texture). This is available in nickel, and will be available shortly!

I use a coordinating color for the suede covering the foam. But if you have a preference for its color, please email me your request. If it's a color I have in my stock, there will be no extra charge, else please consider it a custom order.
