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

15-inch Tallboy British Vintage Style Satchel hand-crafted from Double 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 15-inch Tallboy satchel (we have 5 standard sizes of satchel) is cut from Double 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 15-inch 'Tallboy' is the largest satchel we offer as standard and was designed with the purpose of holding most everyday laptops. We based our research on a number of main brands, such as HP, Packard Bell, Dell, Sony, Toshiba and so on. We then calculated measurements that we felt were just marginally larger than a standard laptop design. The 'Tallboy' is so named because it's 2-inches taller than the standard 15-inch satchel to allow for the height of your everyday laptop and ensures it can be contained securely. Rival companies are currently trying to mimic our design for the 'Tallboy' due to it's versatility with many laptop sizes. We've noticed their designs are often flawed due to common errors that can affect the structure and endurance of the satchel. Please be aware when purchasing satchels that look similar to ours but don't come accompanied with a substansive guarantee scheme. Only 'The Leather Satchel Co.' satchels come with a 5-year guarantee for the quality of our craftsmanship.

Our Double Yellow is named after the colour of the double yellow lines that are painted on the side of British roads to inform people that they're not allowed to park there. It's not as brash as sunflower yellow and a very small amount of orange is added to the dye that adds a warm richness to the colour. The reverse of the leather is left natural and has a taupe, sandy colour to it. The consensus of opinion is that it's similar in colour to sunflower yellow, daffodil yellow, canary yellow, golden yellow and butter yellow but it's not exactly the same.

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.

You're probably aware by now that The Leather Satchel Co. craft our own satchels in our own workshops that are based in the United Kingdom. Our leather-smiths have been making satchels and bags since the late 1960s and this particular design hasn't changed much since then. The Leather Satchel Co. is comprised of artisan leather workers and members of the Guild of Master Craftsmen. This particular satchel on display is our standard design but we offer an infinite number of variations for clients who care to shop directly with us.

Would you like your satchel monogramming or fitted with a briefcase briefcase handle? What about magnetic fasteners for quick access or a deeper gusset so you can pack more stuff in it? Would a longer shoulder strap look better with those long legs of yours? Perhaps you'd even prefer a satchel that was crafted to your own measurements? You can unlock these bespoke services for just a few pounds more when you deal directly with our workshop.
