Hand Bag Scholar V vegetable-tanned leather satchel

Made the old-fashioned way using vegetable-tanned leather. We then dye the leather in different colours. This is one of our very first products, created over 35 years ago and still going strong. The satchels age into vintage bags, develop a patina and look better and better with use. 

This satchel is fitted with back straps and is a great alternative to the expensive nylon schoolbags on the market today. We use extra-long, strong rivets and have tried to make the bag tough. Only snag - the bag needs to be fed with dubbin or leather hide food regularly for best results.

We have tried to make this bag so that it will age well and develop into a family heirloom that you can pass down through the generations. It does need to be dubbined regularly or fed with Freestyle Leather Balsam to nourish and protect the leather. The satchel will soften and darken with time.
