A rectangular blue bag in a style that has previously been used as 'saddle bags' for horses, now usually used for motorcycles. The front of the bag shows a tall tank surrounded by multiple thin borders with various geometric patterns.
The back includes a large red and green medalion on a blue field surrounded by squished 'Z' shapes. The border is made up of some sort of purple and white flower pattern.
