Leather Couture in Savannah
Nestled among the lovely boutiques and recognized restaurants of Bull and Liberty Street, is the industrial studio and showroom of Satchel. Going strong on “girl power” and beautifully crafted leather goods, Elizabeth Seeger (owner + founder) and her team of creative “Satchelettes” have forged their way into becoming one of the most sought-after shops in the historic district.
Since 2006, everything in the showroom has been handmade right here in downtown Savannah. Satchel. offers custom designs for both locals and visitors. You can take advantage of working one on one with the designers to create the perfect bag just for you. They have a vault of their most classic styles and colors, with new being added throughout the year. The team designs and produces bags depending on demand, trend, leather availability and the team’s own whimsy. While the tried-and-true pieces are always available to order online, if you stop into the shop, you will be privy to one-of-a kind pieces, prototypes, and limited-edition leathers.
Satchel. is a piece of warmth and southern hospitality. Busy happiness overflows inside the shop when you stop by. Exceptional service is natural in every detail. These sentiments are echoed again and again. As one very happy customer said, “(I) have traveled all over the world in pursuit of the perfect bag. These ladies get it! Not only can they design the bag that fits your exact needs, they are professional, passionate, and purposeful in making sure you are totally satisfied. I can’t say enough about the quality of the products but more importantly they are using their ‘genius zone’ to empower young women as entrepreneurs!”
Elizabeth puts it this way, “We make leather goods. What used to be just a couple of girls has now grown to two companies with thirteen women and one gentleman. The heart has stayed the same throughout. Industrial sewing machines, messy workspaces, stacks of patterns, rolls and rolls of leather, coffee and shop dogs are what make us unique. These are the things that bind us and make our bags your bags.” It (they) all came together organically and are exceptionally proud of everything that Satchel. has accomplished, including being in business over eighteen years, being featured in national publications such as Travel & Leisure, Southern Living, being named one of Garden & Gun’s Made in the South Award runners-up! One of their favorite things is watching every time a new bag is sold and the proud new owner transferring everything from their old handbag to their new Satchel. bag.
While in Savannah, come in and experience Satchel. for yourself. Not only will you feel like you are catching up with old friends, but you might just find the bag (wallet, wristlet, koozie, gun case) that you have been longing for. And if not, they can custom design one just for you! Who knows, it might even get named after you.
