Satchel Studio

I had been looking at satchel studio for awhile, since I moved to the city about two years ago, but I had never purchased anything from them. Finally, I saved up enough money to get the purse design with the green/​orange/​red gypsy design. Not only did I not have to pay for shipping because I picked it up at the Ferry building, she had it ready for me in a matter of a couple days. I get compliments all the time from all different types of people and I am an active promoter for all of satchel studio’s projects.
In conclusion, I love, love, love my bag and I plan to buy more from Kelty in the future. I love the fun designs and awesome (organic) bag choices she offers, wouldn’t shop anywhere else!

Love my bag! I received this bag as a gift from a friend in SF. I live in NYC and get complimented all the time. It’s different, and hip. I use my bag for everything from my daily purse to the gym to groceries. Versatile and durable, I would definitely buy again for myself and others.

Anyone who’s anyone (and that’s everyone, FYI) should have a customized Satchel. I give tours of the Gold Rush era downtown for City Guides and I had one custom made from old maps, lithographs, letters and paintings. It gets so many compliments and I am cooking up what to put on my next bag. I am looking forward to surprising some of my friends who are teachers with customized book bags based on their curriculum. The possibilities are endless really. Satchels are a little like crack. But in a good way.

everyone needs a satchel! i received a custom-​made satchel for my b-​day from the lovely diane s. and have put it to good use ever since! my satchel has pictures of north beach (my fave neighborhood, sorry to russian hill where i currently live!!) and other views of the city. it doubles as a beach bag and a farmer’s market tote. mine is a medium-​sized tote, but i have seen satchels in other silhouettes as well. kelty, the designer, has such a personal touch. the other bags that i have seen of hers are great too — all different and so unique! i have received several compliments too since i have been using mine… people love the satchels!

OMG these bags are THE BOMB! Kelty is an amazing designer and the bags are just really unique and original. She has a bunch that are «stock» designs but you can get a bag designed with your own stuff on it that you specify. You can see lots of custom designs on her website… my bag came out AWESOME! I had her use some photos that I scanned for her to use and she added some things I told her I liked– she’s a Photoshop wiz with these bags!
What’s cool about this company is that it’s small and the owner is cool, so you know you’re supporting a local business and getting a bag with lots of love put into it’s design.
