I highly recommend the company and their beautiful products. My husband has two satchels which he is delighted with and I have a custom-made large tote. It is now my daily handbag, bit enough for all I need to throw in. It was made exactly to my specifications with extra width, a key loop, longer handles and in my favourite blues and greens. I use a handbag organiser to keep all the wee bits and pieces in place and I know I'll be using this for years to come. Customer service is spot on. Delighted with my beautiful, useful, sturdy, handmade scouse bag. Get one.

14" Satchel Custom Made
Following great communication with Shaun, I purchased a 14" Distressed Mersea Waters bespoke briefcase satchel, it arrived how I had imagined with all the bells & whistles from the Leather Satchel Company.
After using it a couple of times I thought the adjustable strap was still a bit long so, I emailed Shaun, sent it back for shortening and it was returned 'free of charge', now that is amazing customer service. Awesome leather with chrome fittings, really well made, great price too. Am sure my satchel is gonna last for years.
Folllowing my experience, I can't recommend the LSC enough.

The Place to go for Leather Satchels & Bags
I’ve just placed an order for my 9th bag which should be recommendation enough for this company. The level of customer service is second to none and nothing is too much trouble. Very rare today for the customer. If anyone is looking for a bag or satchel that will last a lifetime this is the company to look at. All products are 100% leather, hand made and bespoke at an affordable price. I cannot recommend Keith and his team highly enough.

And we totally get that 'just for show' feeling – when the craftsmanship speaks for itself, who needs to carry anything inside?

THE best for leather bags and custom work
I contacted The Leather Satchel Co. To see if they could create a custom bag to house a detachable steering wheel as a gift. Shaun got in touch with me very quickly to discuss my ideas and even suggested they see if they could adapt one of their designs to suit to get the bag quicker. Sadly that initial idea didn’t work, however Shaun came up with a solution.
Fast forward a phone call and over 40 emails to get the exact ideas made into a bag, we now have the most beautiful bag ready for a very special Christmas present.
Nothing was too much for this company to do, and they respond so quickly. The craftsmanship is extraordinary and the bag really is amazing. I would 100% recommend this company for custom work OR for their designs on the website. They really put so much pride into their work and this shows in the presentation of the products, the quality and the service they provide.
Thank you again Shaun, you are the best!

Hi Joana,
It's truly heartwarming to read your feedback!
Every bag we craft is a labour of love, and even though it sounds a little cheesy (because many companies say it and don't do it!) every customer we serve becomes a part of our extended family.
We're so glad you felt our appreciation and dedication. Your backpack was made with the same care and passion as if it were our own.
Incredibly crafted
The craftsmanship on this bag is incredible, and they took the time to make sure I was getting exactly what I wanted. The turnaround was really quick as well, considering that it was fully customized. I have no doubt I will keep this forever!

This is a great company to deal with
This is a great company to deal with. They are family owned, answered all my queries by text or email quickly and ensured my music case arrived in time for me to avoid a courier company leaving it on my doorstep whilst I was on holiday. The case is beautiful, really good quality leather and craftsmanship and made by hand, to order in the UK. I would not hesitate to recommend them.

I love The Leather Satchel Company
I love The Leather Satchel Company. Bought a festival satchel earlier this year and have just bought the Envelope Clutch. Used it last night when out celebrating our anniversary and it fitted all that I needed. Going to use both on our next trip. Staff are lovely and bags will last a lifetime. Can’t recommend them enough.
