What is a vintage schoolbag?

In the 50s and 60s, there were no modern backpacks or bags. Schoolbooks 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 unique character 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) , color (dark browns and blacks) , and 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 school bag?

Choosing the right school bag is of paramount importance: it will be your faithful ally during long days at university or at work! Here are some important points to consider 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 in years past were dark brown and black , but you can find bolder shades!

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 manufacturing date as this can significantly increase the price.

Height and weight

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