I wish there were 10 stars…

I wish there were 10 stars available-and that still wouldnt be enough! I have owned several Leather satchel Company bags over the years. They are FABULOUS! the look, the quality of craftsmanship and the sheer joy of use is unmatchable. I recieve compliments too! so many folks have asked where I got it! I have no idea how long I will be on this earth but I assure you that everyday that I am -you will find a Leather Satchel company bag on my shoulder! For the happiness I have found in owning one the price is indeed cheap.!

lovely festival satchel

Nowadays, branded bags are all over social media, and it has become a status symbol to own one. However, it was not until last year that I stumbled on The Leather Satchel on Instagram. The festival satchel matches not only my body build but most especially my personality. I am an old-school person, and the bag seems to take me back to the past, classic, yet you can use it both for a formal and casual look. The problem was I was debating on what color I should get between Pillarbox Red or Patent Oxblood Red.
Last month, I placed my order, and I was touched by how thoughtful the people were behind this company. First, they emailed me several times to confirm the smallest detail of my order. Then, finally, I received the carefully crafted bag, and I must say, it is lovely—the perfect color, size, and style that suits me. I can't wait to use this for my travels soon. And I'm sure I'll be placing another order from them soon too. Thank you, The Leather Satchel Company.

Beautiful workmanship

Beautiful workmanship and quality is second to none. A testament and proof of high standards of British workmanship which I hope Leather Satchel Co will continue to uphold. For those considering a purchase with this company, please do not hesitate. Wide variety of colours( which can make choosing difficult!) and good quality materials. Also, timeless and classic designs which will no doubt stand the test of time. Will be a returning customer!

We wish we could leave a review for you, because we'd say "Wonderful Customer, very friendly and delightful to deal with, please come back soon!" ;-)

But there's nothing available like that (yet?) so in the meantime... Beate, thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. We really appreciate it.

An incredible company

An incredible company. Craftsmanship is superb and the oldest bag we have looks just as good 8 years later as the new music case that arrived today. I am so pleased with it. I asked for a shorter handle, two colours of leather and an inside pocket. No problem, and all completed from scratch in a couple of days. The company are a small family business who go out of their way every time to make sure your bag is just right for you. In the past I have asked for a wider gusset, different colours, and even for one of the styles to be adjusted to fit the back of my daughters wheelchair. All no problem at all for them and such lovely people too. Can’t recommend them highly enough!

Perfect Satchels for All Occasions

I bought the Festival Satchel when I was in Liverpool for a conference. Two years later, when a gusset on the strap was loose, Shaun at The Leather Satchel Co responded immediately to organize shipping and a repair. Since my 1st purchase, I have added a 15-inch satchel for work and travel and an 11-inch classic satchel for every day.

The classic look, quality, and function of these beautiful satchels are beyond compare! I receive frequent compliments on my satchels and refer anyone who asks! Thank you Leather Satchel Co. for this wonderful product and excellent customer support!

What a brilliant company and service

What a fantastic company, product and service I cannot rate it high enough. Had my sporran patent satchel made with a magnetic fastener - it looks amazing and the craftsmanship and quality second to none. From ordering to delivery the whole process was excellent and professional with constant updating emails throughout - 10/10 all the way! Thank you so much The Leather Satchel Co.

All I can say is WOW…… I saw this bag…

All I can say is WOW…… I saw this bag and loved it… But there was a few little things I wanted… Shaun was fabulous writing every detail to make my bag extra special for me… nothing was any bother…. From extra length in the strap… compartment inside the bag ( for my fone/keys, to the colour, putting my name on the bag/choice of bucket/clasp!!! And it arrived in lovely box and dust bag…. And earlier than expected….. top class all round!
Couldn’t recommend this company highly enough… and would definitely buy again!!!

Thank you soo much again

The best bag I’ve ever seen

I ordered a satchel from The Leather Satchel Co for university and I have to say this bag surpassed all of my expectations. The leather is beautiful, the stitching flawless, and it’s exactly what I have been looking for for years. I can already tell it’s durable just from wearing it now, but I know of this companies abilities as my mums bought two bags within the past two years.
I’ve never owned a bag like this in my life and I’m just so pleased with it, I can’t wait to buy more in the future.
It’s also worth mentioning that the customer service is amazing. They got back to me very quickly and shipped far quicker than I expected. They were absolutely lovely and so helpful.
I just haven’t got a single bad thing to say!

Fantastic quality bags and outstanding after care service

I can't rate the company highly enough.They deserve 5+ stars!The craftmanship of the bags and the after sales service are excellent.I bought my daughter a large satchel in 2013 and it's still going strong.I have contacted them on 3 occasions for minor repairs (thread starting to unravel twice and a stud coming apart once) and each time they have arranged pick up and delivery of the bag and the repair has been done very quickly and the bag returned.They do not charge for this as the bags have a lifetime guarantee.How good is that?

Hi Ailsa,

We're so glad you love our bags. We think everything we create should be made to last as long as possible, that why we're happy to repair our bags whenever we get the opportunity. The last thing our planet needs is more landfill, right?

Thanks for taking the time to leave a lovely review.

Wow!

Wow!
Ordered a 14in custom satchel and I am delighted with it. From the initial email to the delivery has been flawless. The craftsmanship rivals and in my opinion betters a lot of high end handbag designers. The quality, the attention to detail and the help I received in every request I had or altered was superb. Great experience. Thank you

Hey DD, Flawless is a truly humbling compliment.

Thank you.

We're so happy we delivered on so many values that are important to you: Craftsmanship, Value (better than high-end designers?) Quality, Detail, Help and Support.

That's our goal - to meet (and hopefully exceed) the ethics and values that our lovely clients hold dear to them - and for us to match your values so well it seems to us that we exist for you. 😃🤗💞

So... thank you for giving us purpose.

Bought the festival Satchel

Bought the festival Satchel. Great size, spoke to "shaun" via email and had bag made to spec. Great quality, I love bags and I'm confident this will age beautifully. It was a great price and the company were a pleasure to deal with. Everything arrived on time. Really nicely packaged with dust cover. I will definitely be back for further purchases.
