A Rather Splendid Purple Leather Satchel That Actually Does What You Need It To
Look, we could bang on about heritage and craftsmanship until the cows come home, but here's the thing: this is a proper handmade leather satchel that works brilliantly whether you're commuting, freelancing from a café, or simply tired of that sad rucksack situation. Made right here in England using methods that haven't changed much since someone decided leather was marvellous, it's the sort of bag that genuinely improves with age.
Why Choose Our Handmade Leather Satchel
Colour-Matched Cable Stitching and Silver Nickel Buckles: The details matter. Rather good detailing, if we're being honest. These bits elevate it from serviceable to quite the showstopper.
Wonderfully Versatile: Wear it as a shoulder bag, cross-body, or make it utterly yours with customisation options. It's like choosing your own adventure, but with more leather.
Personalisation Options: Add a top handle. Request magnetic fastenings instead of buckles. Throw in backpack straps. Even have your name laser engraved in one of four fonts. You can make this bag so thoroughly yours it's almost embarrassing.
Perfect For Your Tech: It's not just pretty. Seriously, it fits your laptop like it was designed for exactly that. Because it was.
Product Details
Sizes and What They'll Actually Hold: The 11.5 inch fits tablets and laptops up to 10 inches. The 13 inch accommodates up to 12 inches. The 14.5 inch (what's shown here) takes 13 inch devices. The 16 inch manages up to 15 inch laptops. Only the larger three sizes include the stitched front cardholder pocket, because apparently pockets matter to people. They do.
Adjustable Strap: Comes with a cross-body and shoulder strap setup. Add a strap slider if you fancy making things even more comfortable. It's these small things that stop your neck from staging a revolt by Thursday.
Beautifully Crafted Construction: Handmade in England from leather that doesn't apologise. This isn't the sort of thing that falls apart after a season. This is the sort of thing that develops a wonderful patina and becomes more gorgeous every time you use it.
This is the bag you'll actually reach for. Need to check exact measurements before committing. Quite sensible of you, really.
SHIPPING + RETURNS
THE RATHER IMPORTANT BITS
This rather lovely piece ships directly from our brand partner - we work with independent brands who are absolutely brilliant and work frightfully hard to create beautiful things.
SHIPPING DESTINATIONS
Now, here's the thing - our wonderful brand partners ship to lots of different places, but not all of them can ship worldwide.
Some are brilliant at international shipping, others prefer to keep things closer to home.
At checkout, you'll see exactly where this particular brand can send your goodies.
We're terribly sorry, but shipping costs do vary rather wildly depending on where you are in the world. The exact figures pop up at checkout - no nasty surprises!
RETURNS
You have 14 days to return items.
Now, we absolutely adore our brand partners - they work incredibly hard and we do try to support them as much as we possibly can. So I'm rather afraid we have to pass the return postage costs back to you. Frightfully sorry about that!
🌍 PLEASE CHOOSE THOUGHTFULLY:
Our wonderful partners put their hearts into everything they make.
Ordering multiple sizes to try at home is rather hard on our planet and makes things jolly difficult for these brilliant independent creators.
When in doubt, do ask us first!
PAYMENT
We're frightfully modern and accept all the usual suspects:
Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Shop Pay
SECURE AS HOUSES
Everything's properly encrypted and secure - your details are safer than the Crown Jewels!

We Have Lots More Like This.........
Hello, we are Sostter....
Sostter began, as all good ideas do, with a lively conversation and a shared sense of frustration. Why had the world of independent design become so serious, so samey, so… beige? Where was the spark, the imagination, the sheer joy of discovering something that made you stop and stare?
We dreamt of a marketplace that celebrated difference — where curious minds could explore a world of independent brands, design-led makers, and thoughtful artisans. A space that felt exciting, human, and beautifully imperfect. Today, Sostter brings together remarkable people and their creations — from London to Lausanne, Brooklyn to Berlin — uniting makers and discoverers through craftsmanship, creativity, and conscience.
Every object tells a story, and every purchase supports an independent brand doing things differently. Explore our British makers, discover sustainable brands, browse women-led businesses, find the perfect gift for her, or simply wander through our new arrivals and see what finds you.
This is just the beginning. But enough about us — read all about us, or step inside and see what catches your imagination.
A Curated Marketplace for Independent Ethical Brands
Discover our world of independent brands, conscious design, and purposeful creativity — all in one place.
Sostter is more than a marketplace. We're here to inspire a more thoughtful way to shop — one that celebrates the makers, the dreamers, and the independent brands doing things properly. Every brand on Sostter has been individually vetted for its originality, quality, and values. From sustainable fashion and ethical homeware to handmade jewellery and design-led gifts — all brought together in one considered space. Browse by location, by purpose, or simply wander and see what finds you. Want to sell with us? We'd love to hear from you.
