Satchel is one of the most coveted handbag styles of all time. It's a bit serious, but always classy and just perfect for day and night activities when you want to have a simple classic look. After all, being fashion-forward doesn't have to come with all the fuss and tricky trends that don't suit everyone.

Look to the best fashion designers for finely crafted leather bags that compliment refined style. In most cases, the timeless appeal is combined with a full functionality that provides lots of space for all your necessities.

Even though a classic satchel bag is meant to be worn in your hand, a bag may feature a removable shoulder or crossbody strap. A detachable strap allows for easy, hands-free carrying on the go. There are no limits in creating captivating styles.
