Must-have autumn/winter satchels | TQS Magazine

Even since it was stolen from Indiana Jones’ wardrobe and thrust into the forefront of fashionable minds, the satchel has been a must-have item for both men and women. Season after season we see revamped versions of this classic bag re-emerging on high-streets and runways everywhere. 2013 is no exception, so here are the must-have satchels you’ll need this autumn/winter:

The everyday satchel

The relaxed yet practical design of a satchel makes them perfect for everyday use. While black may be the winter colour choice for many, why not go for a rich brown leather satchel to really get that autumnal vibe? Teals Boutique have a great range of men’s and women’s casual satchels.

Ladies, this vintage leather satchel is a must-have for both this season and seasons to come. This classic bag oozes effortless sophistication. The minimalistic design, featuring a single buckle detail, teamed with the finest Italian leather makes this bag perfect for a spot of shopping or lunch out with the girls.

A far cry from Joey from Friends’ infamous ‘man bag’, this classic brown satchel is the perfect accessory for men. The distressed Italian leather and strong two buckle design exudes a somewhat masculine vibe. With a large main compartment as well as additional zip pockets, this satchel has enough room to house all of your stuff, including your laptop. This bag would look great teamed with a parka, checked shirt and dark denim jeans for a chilled out daytime look.

Both of these satchels boast an adjustable shoulder strap, meaning you can alter the length to suit your height.

The weekender satchel

With Christmas quickly gaining on us, you’ll probably be making travel plans to visit loved ones or simply planning a getaway for New Year. Wherever you’re off to, you’ll need a stylish leather holdall to store all your overnight essentials. Available from Teals Boutique, we love this vintage leather satchel bag. Not only is it big enough to hold everything you will need, the super soft brown leather makes this bag stylish as well as being incredibly practical. Plus, it’s large enough to hold a 15” laptop so you can also use it on a day to day basis.

Invest in one of these satchels and you will have both practicality and style for years to come.
