1. Minimalist Marvel: No. 4313 Minimalist
Unfussy and streamlined, our classic satchel, the No. 4313 Minimalist, is characterized by simple, minimalist lines, heavy gauged thread, copper rivets, and the sturdiest buckles in the industry. Crafted from rugged 10 oz. hide, this satchel stands out as the strongest in the market, designed with minimal excess. Available in 2 sizes, which vary only by 1.5" in depth), its spacious interior accommodates a 16" MacBook Pro along with ample room for files, notebooks, and accessories.
Available for all three of our Satchel styles is the backpack option, which is a set of three D-rings that are attached to the bag and accompany a set of two adjustable leather straps with swivel snaps to attach to the D-rings and convert your bag from a hand- or shoulder-carry to a backpack; your monogram; your corporate logo and a matching luggage tag are also available for all three of our Satchel styles.
- Large Exterior Pocket:Â Our Large Exterior Pockets are perfect for carrying your laptop without taking up interior space in your bag. On the No. 4313 and No. 4311, they mount on the back of the Satchel. For the No. 4316 Bohemian Satchel, shown just below, the large exterior pocket may be placed on the front of the Satchel (tucked neatly under the front flaps) or the rear.
- Newspaper Pocket: This feature is a thick cut piece of leather, folded on the bottom, and stitched to the back of the 4313. It adds a large slim pocket to the outside width of your bag, perfect for stashing your itinerary, passport, cell phone, file folders or, you guessed it, your daily newspaper.
- Leather Dividers: All three of our Satchel styles can accommodate up to two leather dividers. Leather dividers to help keep smaller items organized and out of the bottom of your bag. They can be inserted or removed easily, as your needs vary, by utilizing the snaps and Chicago screws mechanism built into our bags. Buy them when you buy your bag, or add them later!
- Rollerboard: This option attaches an adjustable wide band of leather across the back width of your bag, which is adjustable for the width of your suitcase handle with the buckles attached. This strap allows you to easily slide your Satchel over the handle of your rolling suitcase to assist you in convenient and arms-free carry when you're rushing through the airport.
2. Spirit of Freedom: No. 4316 Bohemian
Our Bohemian Satchel, the No. 4316, offers the most versatility and customizable options to meet your specific requirements, through the years. If you're purchasing a Satchel built and guaranteed to last a lifetime, selecting one that is versatile enough to change as your career and life does is smart! Ideal for your dynamism, it adapts seamlessly to changing circumstances. The encircling 1" interior/exterior strapping system adds an artistic touch to the design, and the capacity to add and remove many optional features at will.

- The Pro-Series strap upgrade takes you from the standard 1" strap offered with this Satchel, to a 1.5" beefier strap with an adjustable shoulder pad. This helps with weight distribution and generally makes it a more comfortable carry.
- snaps and screws to hold up to two removable leather dividers. You can see in the image above how in this Satchel style, the front divider fits over the internal buckles which hold the interior strapping system in place.
Like the Minimalist and Classic Satchels, our Bohemian Satchel is also fitted with snaps and screws to hold up to two removable leather dividers. Our Removable Dividers are made in Natural Tan leather, appear nearly white when new and will develop a golden brown patina over time & with use.

Boasting a profile reminiscent of an antique Doctor's bag, wider at the base and tapering at the neck, the No. 4311 offers the same optional features as our No. 4313, comes in seven distinctive leather options, and exudes a truly bespoke charm.
