satchel handbags

Elephants trek across this jaunty messenger-style shoulder bag from Thailand's Russamee Thepphanakit. The tweed-like dark brown cotton bag features an adjustable strap, a back zipper pocket and a zipper closure under the flap. It is fully lined in black cotton and has one open pocket and one zipper pocket in the interior to keep small items organized.

In distressed honey brown leather, the design of this laptop case by Ricardo Hinojosa is certain to draw more than one admiring glance. A zipper pocket can be found beneath the flap, which Hinojosa adorns with attractive topstitching. Buckles on the strap allow the shoulder bag to be worn at the desired length. An outer pocket runs the width of the back and closes with a magnetic button. In the light brown interior, a zipper pocket, an open pouch and compartments for three pens or pencils keep everything organized.

The bag is designed to accommodate a laptop with a width of 15 inches or less.

Pimpun in Thailand works with local artisans to create this stylish satchel. The handbag is crafted of Hmong indigo cotton batik fabric. Dark brown leather is used for the bottom, sides, handles and shoulder strap. Fully lined in polyester faux suede, the bag features multiple interior compartments and pockets. Carry the purse by the sturdy leather handles, or attach the adjustable leather shoulder strap for hands-free convenience.
