What is a Satchel Bag?
Traditionally, the original style of satchel was designed to carry school books. These student-focused satchels featured a strap so the bag could be worn diagonally across the body, making it easy to shop satchel bags with long straps for hands-free convenience. Some styles even offer backpack-type straps as well, so you can wear your satchel comfortably over both shoulders just like a classic book bag.
In fashion, however, satchels have taken on a style all their own. For use as an accessory, they now come with short handles that allow simple, hand-held carrying, as well as a shoulder strap for added versatility. The bag’s interior allows for ample storage of necessities, like keys, wallets, cell phones, and more. These interior compartments are secured via snaps, buckles, zippers, or drawstring closures. Today’s handbags and wallets also include RFID-blocking features and other smart security features, helping protect your personal information so you can carry what you need with confidence.
How to Use & Wear a Satchel
The general design of a satchel makes them ideal for those individuals with rectangular, triangular, or hourglass-shaped bodies, as the bag’s design can help provide proportional balance.
The design of satchel bags also allows on-the-go convenience. If you need a free hand while carrying your satchel, and the satchel does not come with a shoulder strap, you can pull the short handle straps over your shoulder or elbow, allowing your satchel to fit securely and closely to your body, while freeing up your hands.
When it comes to styling your look with a satchel, remember that accessories are great ways to add seasonal pops of color to your wardrobe. When you’re using your clothing to make a statement, pick handbags that are more neutral in color that still coordinate with your look, but allow the ensemble to make the impression.
In terms of when to wear a satchel, the good news is that satchels are extremely versatile and work in many different situations. They are great if you’re a student headed off to class, an employee going into the office for work, or are putting together a smart-casual outfit for a night out with friends.
