My new favourite bag is this beautiful leather satchel from The Leather Satchel Co. It is so gorgeous that people stop me in the street and ask me where I got it!
The leather is Deep Purple, with black on the reverse. This is how the colour is described on the Leather Satchel Co website:
"Our Deep Purple is a Byzantine shade of purple, similar in style to indigo but with a more bold and sophisticated finish to it. It's the type of rich, deep purple that clergy men used for their stoles, or wealthy London businessmen would use as the silk lining of their tailor-made suits. The consensus of opinion is that it is also very similar to plum purple or violet, but not exactly the same due to it's deeper finish, which gives it sophisticated edge. The leather is finished in our standard method, leaving the leather very hard wearing with a slight satin sheen to it. The reverse of the leather is dyed black, a combination which serves to emphasise this beautiful shade of purple."
The stitching is light blue which looks really nice against the purple. The 14" size is perfect for me - I can fit my 11" MacBook Air and A4 documents inside along with all my other essentials.
One of the things I really love about The Leather Satchel Co is that they offer a range of customisations. I chose the following customisations to make the satchel easy to use and comfortable to carry:
- magnetic fasteners
- detachable strap and briefcase handle
- shoulder strap pad with a lovely black suede underside
You can see what the magnetic fasteners, strap and briefcase handle look like in the photos below.
So all in all this is a really lovely and practical satchel and I am very pleased with it.
