Cowhide leather36 x 27 x 10 cm3 colors
This vintage cowhide leather satchel combines the elegance of a classic briefcase with the robustness of an everyday bag. Its cowhide leather exterior, with a slightly marbled and patinated grain, immediately gives it a strong character.

The main compartment opens with a double zipper and reveals a polyester-lined interior, organized with several pockets for a phone, a power bank, or business cards. The bag can be carried by hand using its two rounded handles, or over the shoulder with its strap equipped with metal lobster clasps. Three colors are available: cognac brown, chocolate, and black. A timeless piece for the office, professional meetings, or city commutes.

The material
Cowhide leather, robust and living
Cowhide leather is the gold standard for professional leather goods: thick, dense, and resistant, it withstands the weight of files and daily handling without losing its shape. On this satchel, it features a slightly marbled finish, which evokes leather that has already been patinated.
Over time, it softens, darkens in the most handled areas like the handles and the flap, and develops a unique patina. The interior is lined with polyester, a durable and easy-to-maintain fabric.

The reinvented briefcase
This satchel adopts the codes of the businessman's briefcase: rectangular silhouette, rounded handles, front flap. But its patinated leather and visible stitching give it a more casual, almost rugged look.
The silver-colored metal finishes, from the zipper pulls to the shoulder strap clasps, provide a touch of precision that contrasts with the warmth of the leather.
It goes just as well with a suit as it does with jeans and a wool jacket: a versatile piece for the week as well as the weekend.

Frequently asked questions
What leather is the satchel made of?
The exterior of the satchel is made of cowhide leather, a thick and durable leather widely used in professional leather goods. It features a slightly marbled and patinated finish, which gives it a vintage character from the very first day. Over time and with use, it softens, darkens in the areas handled most, and develops a unique patina. The interior is lined with polyester. Like any natural material, leather displays variations in grain and shade from one satchel to another, which is part of its charm.
Can it hold a laptop?
The satchel measures 36 x 27 x 10 cm. Our photos show it with a tablet tucked into the main compartment, as well as a phone and power bank in the interior pockets. A compact laptop may fit if its dimensions are smaller than the inside of the satchel. Before ordering, measure your device and compare it to the listed dimensions, keeping a small margin for the thickness of the leather and seams. In case of doubt, contact our team.
How is the interior organized?
The main compartment opens with a double zipper, which makes accessing your belongings easier. Inside, several pockets allow you to store your phone, power bank, business cards, or pens separately, as our photos show. On the front, a flap pocket secured by a tab holds frequently used items: keys, transit card, earbuds. This organization prevents having to search the bottom of the bag and protects your devices from scratches and bumps.
How do you carry the satchel?
The satchel can be carried in two ways. By hand, thanks to its two rounded handles, which give it a classic briefcase look, ideal for professional meetings. Over the shoulder or across the body, thanks to its strap, attached by metal lobster clasps and adjustable via a buckle, as shown in our photos. Carrying it over the shoulder frees up your hands for commuting or cycling. You can thus adapt the satchel to every moment of the day.
What colors are available?
The satchel is available in three colors. Brown is a light cognac leather with a very vintage marbled patina. Chocolate is a dark brown with patinated shades, more sober and very elegant. Black offers a classic and professional look, with a slightly marbled grain. All share the same silver metal finishes and the same organization. Brown and chocolate pair well with casual outfits; black pairs with a dark suit, coat, or evening wear.
How do I care for cowhide leather?
Dust the satchel regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Once or twice a year, apply a nourishing leather cream—tested beforehand on a discreet area—to maintain its suppleness and revive its shade. Avoid water, household products, and solvents. If the satchel gets wet, wipe it off, stuff it with newspaper, and let it dry in the open air, away from a radiator. Store it in a dry place, ideally in a breathable fabric bag, away from light.
Is it a good gift idea?
Yes, a cowhide leather satchel is a gift that makes an impression. It accompanies a promotion, a first job, retirement, Father's Day, or an important birthday. Useful every day, it gains character with time and becomes an object you keep for years. Its three colors allow it to be adapted to everyone's style. For a complete gift, pair it with a card holder or a leather wallet from our leather goods collection, matched to its shade.
