The PTT ("Postal Telegraph & Telephone") Satchel is a handmade mid-sized shoulder bag inspired by a vintage French postman bag from the 1960's we have in our collection.
Our aim was to design a vintage style bag suited to modern everyday needs using the best possible materials for a reasonable price.
The satchel can be used on the shoulder or crossbody, or carried by the included handle. The strap is removable and adjustable in length.
Compact looks hide a surprisingly roomy interior, with room for a laptop, 2-3 notebooks or organisers in leather covers, a magazine or slim book, glasses case and pen case and more. The inside pocket will keep your wallet or smartphone safe.
The bag is made from an exceptional Italian leather, which is produced in Tuscany. The leather is vegetable tanned by methods used since the middle ages, characterised by exceptional durability and finish. Like all vegetable tanned leathers, marks from the original hide remain, lending it character and uniqueness. Vegetable tanned leather lasts much longer than the modern and cheaper chrome tanned varieties, it will also acquire a gorgeous patina with use and just keep getting better.
Every hide we use for the PTT satchel has been hand selected at the tannery and is guaranteed to be of their highest quality (top of 3 available quality grades).
All of the metal fittings are made of solid raw brass for beauty and durability.
As usual, we have paid a lot of attention to details : all edges are hand decorated and hand painted for beauty and to keep them hard wearing.
The Passepartout collection is inspired by Jean Passepartout, a character in Jules Verne's novel "Around the World in Eighty Days", published in 1873. He is the French valet of the novel's main character, Phileas Fogg. Passepartout translates literally to "goes everywhere", but "passepartout" also means "skeleton key" in French.
This collection is designed to offer the same exceptional quality as our main range at a more affordable price level through design simplification and optimised production processes. Passepartout collection products all share a high level of practicality in an exquisite, no frills design and top level materials and workmanship. We have also designed them to be fun to use, as reflected by our Passepartout logo.
