Buying a leather satchel for a child or grandchild is a family tradition in many households, and it is one we have been part of since 1966. A handmade satchel bought for a first day at school, a special birthday or a christening is often carried for years and then handed down. Our satchels have travelled further than most: a Windsor backpack was given to Prince William when he was younger, and Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis have each received satchels from our workshop.

This collection brings together the gifts most often chosen for children and grandchildren: the Festival satchel and the 11-inch and 12.5-inch classic satchels, the Mini Windsor and Small Portrait backpacks, and the Mini Music Bag for music lessons, along with smaller gifts such as coin purses, keyrings, tassels, bookmarks and luggage tags. Every piece can be personalised with a hand-pressed monogram, a name or initials, which makes it easy to recognise in a busy classroom and special to keep.

Everything is made to order by hand in our Liverpool workshop in any of our 44 leathers, from bright Pillarbox Red and Racing Green to soft pastels and classic tans. Each bag is stitched to the same rule our family has used for generations and carries our maker's mark discreetly on the back. Every satchel is backed by our five-year guarantee and a workshop that will repair it for as long as you want to keep it, so a gift bought today can be passed on to the next generation.
