Description
Constructed with durable waxed canvas and finished with brown vegetable tanned leather, the Finch Satchel is a blank slate waiting to be marked with the adventures and stories of use. It is the last messenger bag you will need. Throw it across your body and go. The Finch’s simple shape will hold most of your daily needs and includes two interior pockets for organizing the little things like pens and pencils, lip balm, keys, wallet, &c. Two additional small pockets are situated on the outside for easy access to additional small needs. The flap covers the satchel for daily use, but for those city dwellers, travelers and those others wanting some more security, the satchel closes with a detachable vintage zipper that tucks in neatly when undesired.
Our vegetable tanned leather comes from Wickett & Craig – only a stone’s throw from our shop in Philadelphia – they use a slow, natural, and eco-friendly process of tanning raw hides with natural, biodegradable extracts derived entirely from vegetable sources such as tree bark.
Waxed canvas originated in the sailing industry in Scotland in the 1920s and became widely used in sportswear and apparel because of its waterproofing abilities and superb durability.
This satchel was built to endure. Load it up, bring it everywhere.

- KRKevin R.Verified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars6 days agoReviewingThe Finch SatchelMy second Finch bag
Nothing more to say. These bags are amazing. So very happy with my first one I bought six months ago, I just bought a second one. Goes with me everywhere.
Just returned from Italy, I took a carry on case and a backpack. The Finch folds flat, I took the strap off, folded it flat and it went in my carry on. Used every day while walking around, the perfect bag. Holds everything, secure, easy to carry.
Thank you Peg and Awl team for making beautiful items.

Had my Finch a few weeks now and it has been my constant companion. I have so many bags, my wife keeps moaning at me ‘not another bag’, but I keep saying that they haven’t designed the perfect bag yet. Well, the Finch may be it. It fits in everything I want to carry, at times my laptop, sketch books or notebooks. Forget it’s on my shoulder it’s a pleasure to carry.
Recently went to the Dolomites in northern Italy walking around in temperatures of -12. The Finch went with me all the way, every step. It carried drinks, snacks, hat, gloves etc. Absolute joy to use.
Outstanding bag. Pictures do not do it justice.
As always Peg and Awl a pleasure to deal with.
