Satchel - Savannah’s Personalized Purse helped Me continue the era of the blue purse

We all have that one purse that carries sentimental value. Mine is the blue fringe cross-body purse my mother got me on her trip to Paris. At first, I faked a smile and thanked her for the quirky souvenir, but a few months later I pulled it out of the dark closet and immediately it became my everyday purse. I would rarely be seen without it!  

Fast forward five years, “my purse” is showing all kinds of wear and tear - almost looks like any toddler’s favorite blanket - worn and torn and well loved….but not really fit anymore for public consumption.For month I trolled websites to try and find a similar purse but no luck. Fortunately, my mom understood my purse passion and went immediately to Satchel, Savannah’s premier handbag and leather goods designer,where they were able to take one look at my purse and say with ease, “No problem, we can make you a new version of your favorite purse.” In three weeks, Satchel had found the exact color of blue leather needed, had designed the purse dimensions and even added a more efficient zipper and made the purse just a bit larger so I could put a few more items in my bag and it wouldn’t be bulging! I was beside myself when my mom gave me the exact replica of my purse for Christmas. To have such a one of a kind gift handcrafted locally reminded me why we love items designed and created locally. We can literally see the passion and skill the maker had when they made the purse.

I have told many friends about my personally made purse from Satchel, but they have beautiful standard pieces in their collection available online, at their boutique in historic Savannah and at specialty boutiques. Got to satchel.com to learn more about this great brand.
