The idea of a sturdy bag big enough to carry lots of personal belongings is centuries old. Satchels have a long history; these handy bags have been around since Roman times when ancient people used leather satchels to carry around books and belongings. In decades past before the backpack took off, leather satchels with buckles were the standard school bag. Today, satchels combine fashion and convenience, offering you a bag big enough to carry around everything you need for the day, and attractive enough to win you compliments from strangers.
