Satchel is a small bag label just starting out in the big wide world. Made with care in the humble abode of its creator, Satchel bags are quirky in design and unique in character.
They attach to the beltkeepers of your fave pair of jeans to keep your hands free.
Originally created for use at Music Festivals they are perfect to stash your gear for the Big Day Out, Laneway Festivals or even the next gig down at the Tote.
Satchel bags are made from remnants ensuring no two bags are alike...
Currently available at markets around Melbourne, Victoria. Stay tuned to this space to find out when and where...
thanks so much for the friends request, it is lovely to meet you and always a pleasure to meet and support fellow australian designers. Your bags are really cool - and what a great concept! domanique
Long story, but i didnt end up dressing up as a Zombie, which was a little disappointing, but i went into the city and looked at all the crazy catz that dressed up! Haha so funny!
And the brooch project is running nice and smooth, got 24 ppl doing it now, and i've made 10 brooches and have 5 more half done!
How are your satchels? I need a new one!! Markets??
Let me know of ANY market you wanna share a stall at and i'll be there!!
I'm soooooo jealous that you work at Dangerfield!! Which one? Its my fave, i so wanted to apply for a job there!!
(but that is sad that you cant wear the bandits to workies)
Well have a fantastical day and i'll talk to you soon.
Check out these ppl so you have some idea of who else is involved in the Limited edition Collection - Jason Jacenko, Turn Me On Design, Deliri'Art Clothing, Deadline Design, Darcy Prendergast... lots more... google them or check out their myspaces.
Page needs work but i'll get there. Got a friend working on a logo and stuff. Thought i should put a bit more time and effort in to them and get somewhere... Any Markets??
My friend and i wanna do a market shopping day soon, you should come too!
Hope your party was ACE! sorry i couldnt attend, i had a bit of a reunion with some highschool friends which we'd been trying to organise for ages!! Anyway, cant wait to see your photos from the night!
Bummer we missed that market in all our unorganised glory!! haha i'm sure it would have been fun, but i ended up getting lots of bits and pieces ready the night before we were meant to go so i'll be prepared for next time for sure!!!
Yeah, very hot spanish guys, i think everyone was in love with them! haha.
I live right near the camberwell market, which is always packed with ppl, but its so early on a sunday and its $50 bucks... i should give it a go though one day. Maybe we could split a stall or something one day to save money money money!
Anywayz, i like your purple sling styles, loovely!
Well, i'll let you know about any markets i find, and i would be very happy if you did the same. Have a wonderful day Mel x
Haha no need to worry, I quite enjoyed your ramblings, i mean...what ramblings? Was nice to hang with some girls for a change, damn living with three boys and working with 8 more! Your satchel bags are awesome dude, I so have to buy one from you, mine is falling to pieces and they are such a perfect size! Hope to see you soon sweet xoxo
The market was really great last night, the gypsy band were there again, and some really lovely (& hot) spanish guys had a stall haha. It was the last one though :(
I need to find more markets to sell my stuff at now! i have lots of new designs and no where to go with them!
Where can ppl get a hold of your stuff? my friend really wants one, and i want another one haha
How u been? Sorry Kirby couldn't make it to the stall at Cargo Bar but had a committment wid family that came up. Hit us up re: the hip hop comp etc...
its all over! how sad :( today was actually a great day. sold a bunch of stuff and the people were all very cool. there was even a super cool lady there that designed and made GORGEOUS shoes form scratch. I had to show some serious restraint... if I hadn't bought 2 pairs from myer earlier this morning I dare say I would have had some of my very own hand made shoes :)
yay for monday! i look forward to seeing you. i have the hearts in black, yellow, pink, red (big & small), blue (big & small) and green. if you want a specific colour let me know by mid day saturday and ill make a pair for you to see. otherwise i'll just bring a black pair and if you like them they're all yours.
I'm pretty much in love with my satchel bag. I'm going to a gig on sat nite and i cant wait to use it!
Also, the market was ace, cant wait to sell my stuff at the next one! I loved the beer, the bbq, the band and the ppl. Thankyou muchly for introducing me to such a wonderful thing. Haha see you next time! :)
I'll most likely come to the night market on monday, but to shop rather than stall it up! I will have a stall on the first monday of march though cos they like my stuff, thanks for getting me onto that! Hopefully see you monday! :)
Ello Melanie of Satchel, Ooh, I got around quite a bit at BDO. Highlights for me were Anti-Flag and Midnight Juggernauts :). Lowlights - Silverchair ruining Ana's Song and Arcade Fire - still don't 'get' them! Anyhow, have yourself a funky Monday! -Peace-
Hey Mel, no worries! Easy to be friends with creative little bunnies like yourself! I love your satchels!
I'm a jeweller and photographer, recently obsessed with making felt brooches. Check out my albums if you want. I dont sell my stuff anywhere but hope to one day soon.
