Exceptional craftsmanship
The Leather Satchel Co. was really helpful in adding a handle to one of their earlier models. Great service and craftsmanship. You cannot tell the handle was added years later.

Thank you so much, Barbara -- we’re really touched by your kind words!
It means a lot to know the handle we fitted afterwards for you, blended in so seamlessly.
We always do our best to ensure any additions or adjustments feel like they were part of the original story all along. So glad we could bring a little new life to your bag!
Brilliant
I cannot say enough good things about my experience. I bought a satchel backpack in summer 2023, and in April 2025 I noticed one of the rivets holding the strap on was showing signs of wear (due to how much I use it!), and got in touch to ask if it could be repaired. The bag was returned to me within a week and not only was my original issue fixed but they made several upgrades without me even asking for them, in order to help the rucksack last even longer. All of this was at no extra charge. The rucksack was worth the money I paid to start with but the aftercare makes it all even better value for money. I'll definitely buy from them again.

Thanks so much, Alex -- your words honestly made our day!
It’s amazing to hear how well your rucksack has served you since summer 2023 -- we love the fact that it's clearly been on quite a few adventures with you. 😊
We were glad to get it back in the workshop for a quick refresh -- and when we spotted those little signs of wear, we just wanted to make sure it was ready to help you on your next set of adventures.
It's always a pleasure to do a bit extra when we can, especially for someone who's clearly giving their bag a full and meaningful life!
Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience -- and for trusting us in the first place.
We’d be truly honoured to make something for you again anytime. ❤
Fabulous company. Amazing bags.
I’ve received my latest bag and the quality is amazing as always. Service and attention to detail impeccable.
I’ve got many bags from the leather satchel company and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them.

Thanks so much Clare -- what a lovely review to read 😊
It honestly means the world to us when people take a moment to share their experience.
We know your bags well -- so distinct -- each one a little different but still unmistakably you.
That’s the magic we’re always hoping for... bags that aren’t just functional, but feel like part of you and your spirit.
Thanks again for your continued support --
you’re very much part of our journey.
Buy it now; you won't regret it!
This is my third time ordering from The Leather Satchel Co., and not only is the quality amazing, but the customer service is also absolutely impeccable! It has been such a pleasure to work with Keith to design my perfect bag. My first satchel was purchased over eight years ago, and it only gets better with age. The customisation options add such a personal touch, and I am so pleased with how all of mine have turned out. The leather ages so beautifully and the hardware is super sturdy. I cannot recommend this brand more. Do yourself a favour and order yours now!!!

Helen, thank you so much for taking the time to leave this review -- it really lifted our spirits here in the workshop. 😊
We care about every little piece, and we truly believe there’s something special about our bags that you just don’t find elsewhere. The care and pride we put into each one seem to instil a little bit of magic.
So hearing that you’ve felt a real connection to yours... well, that means the world to us. We hope the two of you have many good years (and adventures) ahead -- may it be scuffed and softened in all the best ways.
Thanks again -- we’re genuinely grateful.
Amazing experience
The bag crafted for my mum is beautiful. Keith prioritised this birthday gift and ensured that it arrived in plenty of time.
I have had an excellent experience with this company and I cannot rate them highly enough. Please help support this family business as their customer service is the best I have ever experienced.
Thank you team!

We’re only a small team here, but we always try to put our hearts into everything we do - and messages like yours remind us why that matters.
Thank you again for choosing us. Wishing your mum many gentle, joy-filled moments with her new bag. ❤
So pleased!
My Leather Satchel Co bag is so well-made! It's refreshing to hold something that someone clearly took pride in the craftsmanship here in 2025. I had a few questions about international shipping (which turned out to be painless), and the customer service took care of me.

And we're glad to hear the international shipping went smoothly, too! It's always our aim to make things as simple and reassuring as possible, especially when a bag is making a long journey.
If there’s ever another moment in the future where you need a companion to carry your story, we’d be honoured to make it for you. 😊

We're genuinely over the moon that your bag has made such a great impression.
Knowing it's exactly what you hoped for (and more!) means the world to us, it's what we are all about, you know this, but we feel that each one of our bags is made as a lifelong companion, so hearing this kind of feedback is just the best! 😊
Thanks so much for weaving the threads of your story in with ours. ❤
Absolutely top quality craftsmanship…
Absolutely top quality craftsmanship and beautiful bags. I ordered two - medium pixie and the tote.
What makes it even better is the customisation so I could get each bag exactly as I wanted it.
No need to go to Italy to get a smart artisan hand made leather bag - much better quality and options right on our doorstep!

I was gifted a bag from this company and loved it - on a whim I went to the website and decided to see what else - I fell in love again with the same bag but wanted something unique - thinking it would be impossible to do this I got in touch with Keith anyhow and we set about creating a unique colour combo - after a mock up I went ahead and can't wait for this one of a kind bag to arrive! It's such a thoughtful process and I would recommend this bespoke service to everyone!

I bought my first bag 8 years ago and it’s still in perfect condition without any special care. I just ordered another one from their website and their customer service is beyond expectations. Great products with amazing colors that don’t fade over time, great customer service and decent prices.

Such an amazing shopping experience
Such an amazing shopping experience. I found the website easy to use and all my questions were answered on the chat. Extremely good customer service. And most importantly the bag is beautiful. Exactly the colour I wanted (thanks to a photo I was sent to double check) and such gorgeous leather. Very very happy

Superb quality
Ordered for a friend's birthday present and she loved it. Having not used the company before I admit I was somewhat sceptical when placing the order but I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending the company and will certainly use again.
The communication from the start was exceptional, checking when the birthday was to make sure it was delivered in time, and it duly was.
Superb quality leather and workmanship and very nicely packaged making it an ideal present.

Dear Jackie,
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review -- what a kind thing to do! 😊
It really means a lot to us, and if we could we'd give you ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ also, not just because of your lovely words, but also because you’ve highlighted the parts of your experience that made it feel more personal and reassuring. We know that online shopping can sometimes feel very transactional, so it’s wonderful to hear that our little personal touches -- like taking the time to check-in and find out the date of your friends birthday -- stood out and made a difference.
We’re absolutely delighted that your friend loved the gift, and we truly appreciate your recommendation. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!

Quality product, exceptional service
I wanted to buy my husband a music case for his birthday and found that I had left it a little late to order in the timeframe stated on the Leather Satchel Company website. I need not have worried in the least. Once I had emailed to ask whether there was any chance a case could be custom made in time for the 'big day', I received a very prompt reply basically saying yes, no problem, and that my order would be completed in time. The Leather Satchel Company surpassed expectations by delivering almost two weeks before the birthday. The case itself is made to the highest standards and I was so pleased to be able to support a business which values and, quite rightly, prides itself on crafting artisan products. My husband is thrilled with his new music case. I would recommend The Leather Satchel Company to anyone looking for a high quality product and a highly personalised, friendly and professional service.

From start to finish the personal service and the delivery of my leather briefcase satchel was outstanding. I love artisan work and buying from small businesses that give the personal level of service and quality that The Leather Satchel Co have. I have now bought a music case for my laptop and I am sure will find another reason to buy.
