Zatchels

Real Leather, Real Craft, Made Just for You

Founded in Leicester in 2011, Zatchels is one of Britain's most beloved independent leather brands — handcrafting satchels, saddle bags, backpacks and crossbodies from a small workshop where real people do real work with real leather. Every single bag is made to order by skilled artisans at Britannia Hide, using the finest leather sourced from a Scottish tannery and traditional techniques that most of the fashion industry quietly abandoned decades ago. Backed by a lifetime guarantee, these are bags built to outlast trends, to-do lists, and frankly quite a lot of their owners.

Make it yours

Half the joy of a Zatchels bag is making it entirely your own. Choose from an extensive range of colours and styles — from the iconic classic satchel and the British Edit to the Kaleidoscope, Tannery, and Saddle collections — then personalise with magnetic fastenings, backpack straps, a top carry handle, or even a laser-engraved name or message. Whether it's a gift or a long-overdue treat for yourself, no two bags are quite the same. Find them in our British Makers collection alongside other handmade independent brands.

Built to endure, designed to be loved

At Sostter, we champion makers who take their craft seriously — and Zatchels is exactly that. Explore their range alongside more brands by location and discover what it means when something is genuinely made by hand, in England, for you.
