What is a vintage schoolbag?

In the 50s and 60s, there were no backpacks or modern bags. School books and other personal belongings were carried with style and class in leather satchels . These unique pieces were made in a variety of dark and vibrant colors and could be decorated with silver mirrors , metal buttons and leather handles . Today, the vintage satchel continues to fascinate buyers. Defined as “old” but timelessly beautiful , these bags have a story to tell. Their uniqueness is still sought after by trendy urban youth looking to stand out. The biggest challenge in finding a good vintage satchel lies in the difference between it and a modern satchel. A vintage satchel can be identified by its material (usually leather) , its color (dark browns and blacks) and its style (rather conservative) . It is not uncommon for the bottom to be lined with fabric, while the closures match the body of the bag .

How to choose the right vintage schoolbag?

Choosing your schoolbag is of capital importance: it will be your faithful ally during long days at university or at work! Here are some important points to take into account before purchasing:

Material and color

If you choose a vintage leather satchel , make sure the material is authentic . Some products are made of faux leather and their quality can quickly deteriorate over time. Also, try to find a model that matches your personal style. The predominant colors of years past were dark brown and black , but you can find bolder tones!.

Style and year

Vintage school bags have a decidedly retro feel ; this timeless look appeals to those looking for a unique piece . Also, consider the date of manufacture as this can significantly increase the price.

Size and weight

Sizing is key when choosing your bag. Its contents will change over time, so make sure it will remain practical no matter how many documents you carry. Also check its weight ; if it is too heavy, you won't be carrying it for long.
