Who is The School of Satchel?

The School of Satchel was established in 2011 in Manila. Old school satchel bags in the 1950's were the inspiration of the brand, as it's classic, unique and preppy look appealed to its owners.

We wanted to bring this fashion in the Philippines, especially for men who value quality, style and functionality. We wanted the brand to be every young urban creatives' go to leather bag.

We stand for quality, fair trade and classic and smart versatility. All our products are made with real cowhide leather, top grain and full grain. The leather we use are all locally sourced. Every piece is handmade from pattern making to cutting, and handled intricately by local leather craftsmen..

What is The School of Satchel's vision?

The School of Satchel's vision is to be an instrument for more Filipinos to believe and love local brands.

We want to contribute to a culture of patriotism, wherein people will search for homegrown brands first when they shop, instead of looking for international brands.

We want to challenge colonial mentality, which still exists in this day and age.

What are we crowdfunding?

We are crowdfunding the Franco Collection, a relaunch of our thoughtfully designed laptop and messenger bags.

The funds will go directly to finance production, as we will be using full grain cowhide leather, the highest leather grade in the market. Highest in strength, longevity and best ageing aesthetics. 

Franco Laptop Bag will be available in two sizes: 13" and 15". It will have a full leather interior and lining. We have made adjustments from the previous design, to fit the needs of purposeful, passionate, busy and on the go individuals. We added more pockets to accommodate your everyday needs in performing your career, passion or startup work.
