These satchels are hand-crafted in Britain from top quality, natural heavy leather by artisan leather-smiths. This standard design features a long adjustable shoulder strap (4-foot) that gives the satchel bag a lot of versatility. The satchel is very suitable for young kids, teenagers or fully-grown adults who are looking for something different. This particular 11-inch satchel (we have 5 standard sizes of satchel) is cut from Mirror Finish Copper leather and is then stitched using a colour matched blend of cotton and nylon for extra durability. The straps and fasteners are then finished with silver buckles and finally the satchel is rivetted for completeness. All our satchels go through a number of quality control checks to ensure that the one you receive meets our high quality standard. All our satchels come with a 30-day no-quibble, money-back guarantee that is also accompanied by a 5-year craftsmanship guarantee. Check the reverse of the satchel for our embossed branding that ensures the quality and craftsmanship is second-to-none and that you're receiving an authentic British hand-crafted satchel.
Our 11-inch satchel is the perfect size to act as a ladies handbag. It's the smallest of our satchel designs and is compact and sleek. This makes it very practical and suitable for carrying everyday things such as your phone, purse, reading books, make-up, iPod, Playbook and generally all your essentials.
Mirror finish leather has been something that has elluded tanners and leathersmiths for centuries and it's often successfully emulated with bonded leathers or vinyls but never before with real natural leather. The high lacquer finish on Patent leather is the closest anyone has been able to acheive to a near mirror finish using a natural leather base. Most metallic finishes on real leather until now are usually applied with a cracked effect due to the way the leather affects the finish. Using brand new techniques we are very proud to showcase a limited edition mirror finish leather. This particular colour is called Mirror Finish Copper. The actually colour of the leather finish is orange and looks very much like real polished copper pipe. Its vibrant colour blends in superbly with browns, greens, cream and cinnamon based colour schemes.
