Why You Need Satchel and Page's Mailbag (Review)

If someone wants a leather bag that's a serious statement piece, I tell them to get Satchel & Page. Their products are beguilingly simple, because you're buying them for the leather: vegetable tanned, Italian, buttery, oily leather. It's the kind of product that needs zero bells and whistles because the material speaks for itself. Here's what you should know.

My dude, the transparency! 😂

I was a mailman for many years, this bag brought back some interesting memories. Great review Sir

Nick, thanks for your great content. Consider becoming known for everything related to leather, such as shoes, sneakers, wallets, bags, and the like. Your boot reviews are excellent. Have a healthy and successful new year.

I wanted to simplify my work bag and went with the Satchel and Page map case. If you want a super simple bag that feels great this perfect. The mail bag is still on my grail list to purchase one day and I hope that day comes soon. Thanks for the review.

My first Satchel and Page product was the moleskin notebook cover (my wife gifted me for my birthday). Shortly after I bought a briefcase, dopp kit and recently the waxed flesh trucker jacket, the camera bag and the Gladstone bag. All their products turn heads everywhere I use them. I think the Gladstone is probably my favorite (if I had to only choose one) and my diplomat briefcase a close second as far as bags go. The jacket is unbelievable, it's so unique looking, hefty and well built I absolutely love it!

A couple of years later and I finally bought the bag. Its beautiful. The leather is so nice and the style is top notch. There is one problem and it drives me NUTS that Nick didn't mention it under the cons. I detest the handle not being on the top of the bag. I love the look and style, but carrying it by the handle, the bag always feels lopsided. Not sure that breaking it in will even help with that. I never would've anticipated that the handle placement could so adversely affect my enjoyment of a well-constructed bag. It's so bad, I am looking to sell it or give it as a gift to someone that wont be driven crazy by this fatal flaw. But man the leather is nice.

Excellent review! I have their Weekender, their Journal and their Dopp Kit and they are all very impressive! I've evolved from Saddleback to Jackson Wayne and now to Satchel & Page. All good quality, just a bit different. S&P just has a little more. Beautiful appearance, look and feel. Impressive.

I don't understand the fascination with this brand. It DOES look pretty, but I bought their executive bag recently and it's garbage. I don't feel like I got ripped off exactly, but I do feel like I barely got what I paid for, no more, no less. I've had it for a few months and it's already falling apart with light, light usage (I carry it from my house, into my car, into the office, and back. It's not getting thrown around.) This idea that they're some bargain heirloom quality is just not true. This thing will probably last a few years, which is fine, but if anyone else is on the fence I'd advise you not to. Just another internet hype brand selling a subpar product. I really, really wanted to like them because their stuff is beautiful, but it's just trash. Maybe the unlined bags like the mailbag are different, but buyer beware. (Also, if you DO buy one - condition it IMMEDIATELY. I didn't, it was in a drizzle for about 15 seconds, and now it's permanently water spotted. Again - trash.)(Just updating this to add that, after only six months of part-time use, the interior stitching has now started to come undone. I'm amending my earlier statement - definitely a rip off that should be avoided.)

Superb review as usual Nick..!! I'm debating this one in the slim version or the Cravar FC....but this does just look stunning 😍 and they do a weekend bag that would match..!!! You're costing me money as I got the Redwings because of your reviews 🤣🤣🤣👍

[keithhodgson]

I know a bit about leather but now I know a lot more, Thanks for a great & informative presentation.

Can't wait for you to review the RGT Supply Jacket sometime!

[joshuataylor]

Very nice bag and a great review Nick! Thanks! Your knowledge is top notch!
Have a blessed, safe, and prosperous year!

[vincentorona]

Omg!!! I’ve been looking at this bag for so long, glad to see your review!

[jeffanco]

I bought the bomber jacket and weekender bag a couple of years ago based on Carl M’s reviews. Both are incredible pieces. I had a fit issue with the jacket and found the customer service to be very responsive and accommodating. Really impressive company imo

[Mike]

I really wish this was in black leather!

[frankrizzo]

I bought a different Sachel and Page bag based on Carl Murowski reviews and it is superb quality; however the design of this one would have been better for me, this looks ideal!

[antant]

Damn this looks amazing, as does cravar. I never knew I needed a leather bag until your reviews aaaah

[nikhilsrl]

I bought their briefcase, but this one looks cooler. Oh yeah it's simplicity makes it very versatile.

I bought an attaché from satchel and page and had few minor issues. Rivets holding the handle came off within 2 months. Laptop strap closure is shorter and wouldn’t close when I have a 13” MacBook. S&P sent me a longer closure strap and asked me to repair myself (I live in Asia). Other than these minor glitches absolutely fantastic leather. I got their brown leather belt and keeper/loop fell somewhere when I was wearing it, once again due to rivets fell off. Since then I have sent several emails with poor or no response from their customer care. Go with established brands like Filson or saddleback.

Another great review, go NYC! Happy New Year Stridewise!
