The classic English satchel has long been the go to bag for those that believe in understated style with supreme function. Whether you are a Don at Oxbridge or just the ‘Don’ at work, a classic satchel is both utilitarian and stylish. Each Garstin 1871 satchel is handcrafted in England by one skilled artisan to ensure that each bag is more than perfect.
Made from the finest vegetable tanned Italian leather and British suede they are also designed for the modern world. A Macbook Air fits perfectly. Whilst inside you will find a suede compartment to help keep other items in order, like your phone and notebooks. On the outside there is the classic satchel pocket to help keep other sundries such as your passport for when business calls.

We only use the finest Italian vegetable tanned leather from a small family run tannery in Tuscany. This premium leather will age beautifully over time and develop it own unique patina. The natural oils in the leather mean the scuffs in daily use should be buffed out by simply rubbing your thumb along them. If you want to use a leather conditioner use a natural beeswax balm.
Our English brass hardware will also patina over time which will add to the character of the satchel, you can of course polish then to keep them shiny with quality brass cleaner. Be careful not to get any on the leather as this could discolour the leather.
Your satchel comes with a dust bag and we advise to keep it in the dust bag whenever you are not using the satchel.
