Graduation marks the end of one chapter and the start of the next, and a handmade leather gift is a lasting way to celebrate it. This collection brings together the gifts most often chosen for graduates, all made in our Liverpool workshop: 14-inch and 15-inch classic satchels, briefcase satchels for a first job, the Portfolio Tote, leather notebook covers, the pen slip, business card holders, passport holders and luggage tags.

For a graduate heading into work, a briefcase satchel or Portfolio Tote makes an immediate impression on the first day in the office. For those heading off to travel, a passport holder and luggage tag are practical and personal. A leather notebook cover and pen slip suit writers, researchers and postgraduates, while a business card holder is a smart, simple gift for a new professional. Every gift can be personalised with a hand-pressed monogram, initials or a graduation year.

Each piece is made to order by hand in any of our 44 leathers, so you can choose university or college colours, a favourite shade or a timeless classic such as Chestnut Brown or Oxford Blue. The Hanshaw family has been making leather satchels for students since 1966, and a satchel from our workshop has seen many students from their first lecture to their graduation day. Every bag is backed by our five-year guarantee and a lifetime of repairs, so a graduation gift from us can accompany a whole career.
