| 15-inch Tallboy |
 |
|
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.
The approximate satchel dimensions are 38cm wide x 30cm tall x 10.5cm deep. The front pocket measures 25.5cm wide x 18cm tall x 3cm deep and
the main compartment gusset measures 9.5cm.

Custom Gussets and Bespoke Sizes
Our satchels are crafted with generous gusset depths, but many students find they have to carry an awfully large amount of books, as well as thier laptop and
notes. So sometimes it's handy to have an extra wide/deeper gusset. This effectively allows you to slide 'more books' in your satchel - not bigger books. When
you order direct from our workshop, for a small charge, you can specify the depth of the gusset you require.
Displayed above we have our 5 standard sizes of satchel, but if none of those suit you them we are able to craft you a satchel in any dimensions you want. It
doesn't have to be 14" or 15", etc. You could have a satchel 20" wide by 20" tall if that's what you need.
As you can imagine, when we craft a satchel to bespoke sizes then there are substantial extra costs. This is because the patterns and templates for cutting our
standard size satchels from the hides of leather are already created and if you want a new size then we have to draw up a new pattern especially for you.
If you want a quote for a bespoke size satchel then just email us with the dimensions your require for your satchel and we'll breakdown the pricing for you.
