Few bags say preppy more clearly than a traditional leather satchel. The classic school satchel and the briefcase satchel have been part of Ivy League and British public school style for generations, carried across quadrangles, into lecture halls and onto trains, and they remain the natural partner for blazers, knitwear, oxford shirts and loafers.

This collection brings together the bags that suit a preppy wardrobe best: our classic satchels from the Festival up to the 16.5-inch, briefcase satchels with a top handle for a smarter look, and the Medium Portrait Backpack, which carries the same traditional details in a hands-free shape. Choose a timeless British Tan, Chestnut Brown or Oxford Blue, add a Racing Green or Loch Blue for a collegiate feel, or opt for our Ivy League Edition on the 14-inch classic satchel.

Every satchel is made to order by hand in our Liverpool workshop, where the Hanshaw family has made satchels since 1966. You can personalise yours with a hand-pressed monogram, gold hardware, a bolt-on handle or a wider shoulder strap, and every bag carries our maker's mark discreetly on the back. A preppy satchel is meant to be used, scuffed and loved for years, and ours are backed by a five-year guarantee and a workshop that will repair them for as long as you want to keep them, whether you are heading to university or into the office.
