Truly there is no need. A satchel can be a great looking tote bag – they ooze style and elegance and you can look smart yet casual when sporting one. The secret is to match your appearance with the type of material that you choose - canvas or leather.

A canvas satchel is great for the younger woman. They’re similar to a messenger bag in terms of style and appeal and they’re a good choice for college or as your choice of day purse. A leather one is better suited to the executive look.

Not that you have to be one but they are the type of bag that you dress up to, rather than the other way around. Rarely are they anything other than manufactured to the highest quality and providing you remember that a leather satchel should always be in natural tones, you’ll look fantastic.

Canvas Field Bag

This canvas satchel is available in three colors, Charcoal, Stone and Olive. Any of the shades will work for the casual preppy look and they’re a nice choice for the laid back student. They’re manufactured from 100% cotton, they’re lightweight and an easy-care choice – a run through the laundry cycle will have it looking as good as new in no time.

It can be worn as a crossbody bag or on the shoulder, the straps are long and easily adjustable and it contains one spacious interior pocket and two more on the outside. It’s unfussy yet durable, stylish without being in your face and it’s a nice ‘in-between’ choice of tote.

Good looking, compact yet roomy and with a price tag that will suit anyone’s budget.
