Authentic Hand-crafted Vintage Leather Satchels: The Leather Satchel Co.

12.5-inch British Vintage Style Satchel hand-crafted from Neon Yellow Leather

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 12.5-inch satchel (we have 5 standard sizes of satchel) is cut from Neon Yellow 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 12.5-inch satchel was designed to perfectly fit an iPad in the main compartment, making it a functional choice for people who choose to take their iPad everywhere. Another feature is that it's handy for people in who own many modern gadgets as the front pocket can easily fit all major brands of 7-inch tablet. This means you can carry your expensive tech without fear of it being damaged.

Our Dayglow Yellow is a truly outstanding colour. Any photograph we are able to take of this colour is simply a poor facsimile of the real colour because the pigmentation is so intense, we find it simply cannot be captured by a camera effectively. To explain how bright our dayglow effect is then firstly, think of a yellow neon high-lighter pen and then try to imagine it so bright that the intensity of the flourescent effect actually makes your eyes temporarily adjust and all other colours seem dull and lifeless in contrast. We achieve this effect by using a special white pigment as the base primer directly under the isocyante flourescent dye. The two layers are then covered with a thin lacquer to protect them. The process of dying materials using this technique is very specialised, especially when working with natural leather. Sometimes small, barely noticeable flecks of paint and dust get caught inside lacquer as it's tanned - preserved for posterity like insects in Amber. Unfortunately this can't be avoided without increasing the price of the leather astronomically, but on the other hand it's ensures each satchel has it's own unique characteristics. The actual base hue of the neon yellow is similar to a lemon yellow or laser yellow, but actually comparing these colours to it would be misleading due to the neon effect.

This classically designed and hand-crafted vintage style leather satchel has some amazing endorsements: This timeless satchel design is regulary featured in fashion publications like Vogue, Elle, Look, etc. It's always being snapped as part of the latest looks worn by all the boho celebs on the streets of London, Paris and New York.
