The Leather Satchel Co. was founded in 1966 by the Hanshaw family in Liverpool, UK. Originally, they produced leather bags for local students and professionals. In the 1980s, the company expanded and began to focus on creating high-quality leather satchels. Their products gained popularity in the UK and abroad, and in 2011, the company received a boost when their satchels were featured in the popular television show "Doctor Who."
Today, The Leather Satchel Co. remains a family-owned and operated business, with all of their products still handcrafted in Liverpool using traditional techniques and high-quality materials. In addition to their classic satchels, they offer a range of other leather bags and accessories, and their products are sold in stores and online worldwide. The company is committed to sustainability and ethical manufacturing practices, and continues to be a respected and well-loved brand in the world of leather goods.
