    5 my new favourite Maxwell Scott Product
    The satchel brief is my favourite Maxwell Scott product (I have four) and I use it as my everyday bag. I'm an editor and carry a lot of books but those go in a tote; the size of the satchel is perfect for personal items, journals and one or two books I'm reading. It hugs the body comfortably -- it doesn't dangle or swing as I walk. This is due to the excellent proportions of the bag. It is also surprisingly roomy if I need it to be. It is sturdy (the straps may even be functional!) and elegant. It takes the cake.

    I was so popular!!! I bought the briefcase for my boyfriend and he is in heaven! The quality is exceptional, as was the wrapping in which it arrived. The bag looks amazing and stands out for all the right reasons. Quality! Thank you - your product is everything it promised to be...and more.

    The Battista Satchel is not only practical and useful, but very beautiful and has been admired by friends and colleagues. Also, I telephoned one of your sales staff after 12noon to see if I could still get next day delivery and they were very helpful and packed it immediately. Thank you.

    Very pleased with the quality and strength of the satchel. A high quality finish! The delay in receiving the bag was more than expected by a couple of weeks, worth the wait however.

    This is a great looking bag; the materials, quality and workmanship of this are all absolutely first class. I would happily recommend this to any one else with one (very small) caveat....think carefully about what you are going to carry in it, for it to be 'perfect' I think it could do with being about 1-2cm longer as it only just fits an A4 binder in it and I suspect that if you put loose A4 sheets in it they could become creased.
    5 Bag made for different occassions
    I purchased the Battista bag for its versatility as a bag made for different occassions for my friend who travels for business but has his share of leisure time, as well. He absolutely loved the style and claimed his own high name brand bags have fallen apart over and over within a short time of use. He will surely treasure this quality made bag for years to come with its' attached warranty.
    5 worth the wait
    Very nice quality satchel and very nicely packaged and presented. Shame it was out of stock and I had to wait, though I understand.

    OUR SIGNATURE LEATHER
    Two decades have passed, and we are still committed to using our unique, unparalleled Vachetta leather that only one tannery possesses the precise formula to produce. Our prestigious leather is certified by the Genuine Italian Vegetable-Tanned Leather Consortium, a certificate of quality awarded to less than 1.5% of Italian tanneries. By showcasing their trademark and quality assurance, we honor the heritage of skilled artisans.
    Finest Full-Grain Vachetta Leather
    Often imitated but never matched, our high-quality full-grain Vachetta leather is unrivalled due to three essential components:
    1. HIDES - we source only European hides reared in perfect conditions, ensuring tough and durable leather with a quality finish.
    2. TANNING PROCESS - we use a natural centuries-old technique of vegetable-tanning which is both organic and sustainable.
    3. TANNERY - Our tannery is based in the heart of Tuscany, arguably the best region in the world. It has been awarded countless awards and delivers some of the 1.5% best leather in Italy. These factors combine to yield a premium, durable leather with exceptional visual appeal.
    A Unique Patina
    As time passes, a captivating patina will develop, subtly transforming its colour and aesthetic as it gracefully weathers the elements, a highly desirable characteristic of pure untreated leather, leaving a legacy of its journey. Unwanted marks and surface scratches can be effortlessly removed due to our slow process of drum-dying the leather all the way through, unlike faster methods of hand and surface dyeing. Our deep, earthy tanned leather is of unparalleled quality, allowing it to retain its natural strength, character, and properties without any alterations or corrections. In contrast, coated full-grain leather loses its appeal as it ages in as little as 12 months.
    Sustainably Tanned With Chestnut Trees
    We're committed to using a centuries-old technique that has remained unchanged for thousands of years. The process of vegetable tanning requires considerable time and patience, as our hides immerse themselves in drums for 60 days. We’ve always believed that the reward of sustainable, premium leather is worth the wait. With only 10-12% of the world's leather being vegetable-tanned due to quicker and cheaper methods of tanning becoming more prevalent, we are proud to honor the traditions and legacy of authentic leather craft passing the exceptional benefits onto our customers.
    Guardians of a Rich Legacy
    We honor an authentic approach to tanning leather, using Chestnut extracts to embrace a sustainable and organic method of dyeing, preserving a traditional practice that dates back thousands of years. The deep color and natural scent of our signature leather are a testament to this ancient technique, enabling wearers to fully immerse themselves in the beauty of nature.
    Crafted To Last a Lifetime
    The combination of these factors forms a dependable yet timeless work of art, which will accompany you for a lifetime. To demonstrate our confidence, we offer an industry-leading 25-year warranty.

    Why Is Our Leather Unique?
    At Maxwell Scott, we believe that the key to exuding luxury is to create quality. We achieve the finest quality through our impeccably-sourced leathers...
    best quality italian leather
    Our leathers are exclusively full-grain. A term used in the leather industry to define the strongest top layer of the hide, we craft with full grain leather to ensure that our bags and accessories offer the highest durability possible.
    handmade form the finest leather
    Our leathers are sourced from premium, handpicked tanneries in Western Europe, most predominantly from Tuscany, Italy - the epicentre of the leather industry. Maxwell Scott's founder, William, has spent years seeking out the finest leathers in the world from niche and exclusive tanneries to guarantee the highest quality.
    leather handmade in Italy
    We honour the traditional technique of vegetable-tanning to dye our leathers. The industry's most sustainable tanning method, natural tannin extracts are rubbed into the grain of the leather to produce a rich and authentic finish.
    luxury Italian leather hides
    We believe in creating leather heirlooms with character. We therefore do not coat our leathers with any synthetic substances. They are stripped bare and exposed to life's elements to develop a unique and desirable patina on the surface of the leather over time.
    quality leather bags
    Due to the first-class quality of our leathers, we offer a 25-year warranty on all our bags and accessories.
