Great bag for things slightly too big to pocket

I've had this bag for about 5 months now and have used it most every day when I'm going out. If it's a longer day out, I'll take a bigger bag, but this is perfect for going out for a few hours. Anything that might be slightly too big to pocket is a great contender for what to stuff in here. Or just take the regular things out of your pocket.

My main use case for this was to be able to bring my e-reader around with me. I wanted to use it more than my phone but didn't have a good way to carry it. The Kobo Libra 2 with the Sleep Cover fits *perfectly* in this bag and leaves room for a sunglasses case, inhaler, 5 hour energy, and a little room left over for a small camera (Olympus XA) or a flash for a bigger camera or my wallet if I don't want it in my pocket. I also carry a little bag of medicine and such in the back. Usually forget about it until I'm very glad I have something for heartburn.

Another layout is a water bottle and a compact umbrella, to give you a sense of the size.

My one complaint is that the strap is very very long. I'm a skinny 6' guy, so it's expected, but cinching the strap up all the way but it below my waist and letting the strap all the way out put it comically at my knee. I modified the strap by cutting it and adding my own holes to be able to raise it all the way up to my abs if I'm worried about someone trying to put their hands in the bag. I think there should be an option to buy a shorter strap as I couldn't quite nail the look from the factory.

There is no padding on the strap, but there's also not a lot of space to weigh down the bag, so no issues there.

I've considered adding an outside D ring to one side and a pen holder to the other, and maybe that would make a good version 2, but all in all I love this bag. Highly recommended.

Great Bag Long Strap

I absolutely ADORE this bag. It fits a notebook, colored pencils, an art book, and my sketching book just fine! The only downside is the strap is so long that even at it’s shortest the bag sits right above my leg, and I’m 6’2”. Will buy a leather punch soon

Saddleback Leather Travel Satchel

After much deliberation between Chestnut and Saddle, I opted for Chestnut. I may have to get the Saddle as well. First of all, I was pleasingly surprised by the size of this bag. Often I get bags that are a little small, and in the photo, the arrangement of the two pens made me think this bag was a tad on the small size as well. it is in fact a very roomy crossbody. I carry two change purses, a notebook, various pens, a tissue pack, and all this fits with room to spare. I like the easy closure, and that my phone goes in the outside back pocket so I don't need to root around in the bag for it. The strap is plenty long for anyone to wear crossbody. This bag is getting softer, as is the strap which suits me perfectly. It is lined of course in the pigskin, well-made and a good value for the money.

Leather Travel Satchel

The Leather Travel Satchel expands ( pun intended) upon the " Every Day Carry" ( EDC) Satchel. I have an older model cell phone (Samsung Galaxy Note 9). The battery is not what it used to be. I miss when you could easily replace cell phone batteries. I use a Zerolemon 10,000 mah charging case that is often referred to as a "brick". I like my cell phone and Zerolemon allows me to be untethered from cords. That being said, my cell phone in its protective charging case does not fit into the EDC Satchel. It also does not fit into the new Love 41 IPhone Crossbody Leather Wallet. Along with my phone, I like to carry the Saddleback Leather Phone stand (The phone stand is probably my most utilized Saddleback Leather item (not including my Love 41 Saddle handbag and Saddleback Leather small wallet.) I use the phone stand every day. I also carry a small MP3 player (Panasonic SV-mp020) that runs on a single AA battery. I also like to carry a small journal, a pen and a small pocket language book (Korean at the moment) . Needless to say, trying to get these items to fit along with a small wallet and keys is a challenge. The New Saddleback Leather Travel Satchel allows me to carry them all. It is not too small and not too big. I also like the vertical design and the toggle closure. I purchased the Satchel in black. I prefer wearing black. The rich black color of the Saddleback Leather items is stunning. The Leather Travel Satchel is simple, functional and beautiful.

The Leather Travel Satchel is a custom-made bag crafted from 100% full-grain leather with pigskin lining and reinforced 316 stainless steel hardware. It is designed to comfortably fit everyday items such as phones, wallets, keys, tools, passports, sunglasses, and notebooks—all secured with one hand using its toggle closure.

Design Of The Travel Satchel

When I was in Croatia on a family business trip, I carried my EDC Leather Satchel, just as I always do. I noticed that the majority of the men there were carrying one similar, but larger in size. The Leather Travel Satchel is what I came up with.

Materials Used To Make The Travel Satchel

We made the Travel Satchel from 100% full-grain leather, just like our other bags. And it's thick too. With no layers of the cowhide shaved off, we keep the toughest part of the hide intact. Then we line the entire inside of this leather satchel with pigskin, which is even more durable than cow hide. 

Everything is sewn together using really long-lasting marine-grade polyester thread. The way we sew is different too. Using only 5 stitches per inch, we are able to reduce the number of holes in the leather, which, in turn, means less potential for a tear to occur.

The buckles and d-rings are over-engineered, made from a custom 316 stainless steel. It's what you would want to use if your life depended on it.

Functionality

The toggle closure makes it easy to access the inside of the satchel using only one hand. Carry all your essential everyday items and forget about having to lug around a heavy bag or stuff your pockets full to get through the day. Don't forget to check out our Leather Briefcases.
