Satchels have been a wardrobe staple for so long and for good reason. They sit perfectly, they hold a proper amount of stuff, they look equally at home with a work outfit or a weekend one. The structured front flap gives them a tidiness that other bag shapes don’t quite have. We particularly love them in leather or faux leather where they develop a kind of character over time. These are the satchels worth knowing about right now, the ones with that combination of classic shape and something slightly fresh about them.
