Our briefcase satchels combine the traditional leather satchel with a sturdy top handle, giving you a bag that can be carried by hand into a meeting and slung across the body for the journey home. They are made by hand in Liverpool in five sizes, 11, 12.5, 14, 15 and 16.5 inches, measured across the cut leather.

A leather briefcase satchel is a smart, practical choice for work, teaching, university and travel. The front pocket keeps small essentials close, the buckles give it a classic look, and the top handle makes it easy to grab from under a desk or a train seat. Many customers personalise theirs with a hand-pressed monogram, gold hardware, a wider shoulder strap, slip pockets or hidden magnetic fasteners and push locks for quicker opening.

Every briefcase satchel is made to order in any of our 44 leathers, from professional classics such as Charcoal Black, Chestnut Brown and Oxford Blue to bolder choices like Racing Green, Pillarbox Red or a hand-distressed finish. Each one is cut, stitched and finished by our own craftsmen, carries our maker's mark discreetly on the back and is backed by our five-year guarantee. The Hanshaw family has been making satchels since 1966, and a briefcase satchel from our workshop is built to serve you every working day for many years.
