Camden Leather Satchel

The shape that has been slung over a shoulder for a century, cut in leather that improves under use.

Crazy horse leather is finished with wax driven into the hide rather than sprayed over it. Scratch it and the mark rubs out under a thumb; carry it for a year and the corners go darker than the panels. That is not a defect to be managed, it is the reason to buy the bag.

Offered in two sizes. Both take a tablet, a notebook and the everyday contents of a coat pocket; the larger takes a 13-inch laptop as well.

Why You'll Love It

A satchel is only as good as its strap and its flap, and both here are cut from single pieces of hide rather than pieced together. The flap holds a clean line instead of curling; the strap sits flat across the shoulder instead of rolling. Six months in, the flap edge and the strap will be noticeably darker than the panels behind them — which is exactly what you want from this leather.
