Our hope is that you’ll be proud of your bag because of the compliments you get and how long it lasts. But our deeper hope is that you join our community of those nurturing the vulnerable and loving the unloved. We do more than just quality leather bags; we do quality in all areas of our business.

When this bag was new, I overstuffed it with hand towels, buckled it shut, then asked my kindergartner to jump and stomp all over it. That helped soften it only a tiny bit, but she had a lot of fun helping. That same kid is now turning 10 and with regular use, the bag has softened up perfectly: nice and floppy with a LOT of patina. I wish I could post a review photo. I am a bit of a leather bag collector but I always return to my Indy. I’m a petite female and it doesn’t swamp my small frame. It holds everything I need it to and I use every bit of built-in organization. The strap was overkill for me, so I ordered one of the Love41 woven straps with DCB accents and it has increased my enjoyment of the bag tenfold. I really can’t recommend this bag highly enough.
It’s a good bag. I like it, I got it to carry my insulin and stuff as I am a type one diabetic. Fits everything with extra room for a book or some small stuff. I would buy again.
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.
