Only negative was one bottom corner slightly damaged. Looks as though it is smashed.
FIRST AND FOREMOST: It's absolutely beautiful. The chestnut stain has a great saddle leather richness. And it smells so good ... like walking into a Mexican leather shop. WHAT I WANTED: Something to carry books. So I shopped every conceivable size, variation, and brand. This emerged as the perfect configuration. Fits a couple books, a little note pad, pen and pencil, plus my phone and wallet. Seems like it'll work perfectly. ALL THAT SAID: It is a little heavy and definitely a lot of bag, despite its relatively small size. I've always kind of avoided the "man bag" look and this is certainly that. Oh well. BUT IN BRIEF: It's gorgeous. I like carrying it. It's built to last. Absolutely delighted to have it.
The Indiana Satchel is amazing. It’s super durable (like every Saddleback product) has a straight forward, simplistic design, looks amazing, and is the perfect size for EDC work essentials when you don’t need to lug along a laptop.
So, I got the satchel to fill the void between backpack and wallet. I was amazed how much I can fit. Sunglasses in case, Eyeglasses in case, Pipe and to tobacco pouch, cell phones, Journal and iPad. Also my wallet in places where pickpockets frequent. I have carried this in Naples, Rome, Zurich, Casablanca and Marrakech. Even in Morocco it gets comments and they have a long history as producers of leather. I am now a convert to the "Man-bag". Another amazing piece of kit from Saddleback.
I have had this satchel just a couple days now but I am already wondering how I ever made it by without! The size is perfect for carrying around all my stuff for day to day living without being too cumbersome. Carrying my wallet, keys, cell phone, sunglasses, reading glasses and still room to spare. The Dark Coffee colour is fantastic and I am looking forward to the patina that will develop. The build quality, as expected from Saddleback, is stellar! Thanks so much for another awesome bag!
