It’s the question we get asked most often: should I go for a satchel or a crossbody? Both are classic styles, both look beautiful in quality leather, and both have their strengths. The right choice depends entirely on how you live your life.
A satchel is your carry-everything companion. With a larger main compartment, internal pockets, and a structured shape, it’s designed for the days when you need more than just the essentials.
Our satchels are built for women who need to carry a bit more — a notebook, a tablet, a paperback, a packed lunch. The structured base means things don’t slide around, and the magnetic or buckle closure keeps everything secure.
Satchels suit workdays, weekend markets, and travel days where you want everything in one bag without resorting to a rucksack. They sit comfortably on the shoulder or across the body with an adjustable strap.
The trade-off? They’re larger. If you’re someone who prefers to travel light, a satchel might feel like overkill for a quick trip to the shops.
A crossbody is about freedom. Worn across the body, the weight distributes evenly and your hands are completely free. It’s the bag you forget you’re wearing.
Our crossbody bags are compact by design — phone, keys, purse, sunglasses, maybe a lipstick. Everything you actually need and nothing you don’t. The slim profile sits close to your body, making it ideal for crowded places, active days, and situations where a larger bag would get in the way.
Crossbodies suit dog walks, festivals, travelling, school runs, and those glorious days where all you need is the bare minimum.
The trade-off? Limited space. If you regularly carry a water bottle, notebook, or anything bulky, a crossbody will frustrate you.
Ask yourself what a typical day looks like. If you’re constantly reaching for things — notebook, planner, snacks for the kids — go satchel. If you’re happiest with just the essentials and maximum freedom, go crossbody.
Many of our customers end up owning both. The satchel for work and weekends, the crossbody for evenings and adventures. In full grain leather, both will last years and only get better with age.
