Description
It is said in the army when preparing for a mission, “bring only what you need.” In the world of exploration, “bring only what you need.” And again in setting out to scale a mountain “bring only what you need.”
Our Hunter Satchel is reminiscent of the satchels of the old days – carried by the likes of George Washington, of the Possibles Bag from Mountain Men traversing the American frontier in the early 1880s, and of the military map cases strapped to the backs of soldiers who fought bravely in WWII. Each bag was designed to simply carry the essential items of their time and circumstance. Constructed from waxed canvas, vegetable-tanned leather and vintage fabric from the late 1800s, our Hunter Satchel continues this legacy for our day. Whether it be a journal, pens, pencils, and a few snacks for a walk in the woods, or a wallet, keys and phone for a night excursion on the city streets, the Hunter Satchel is perfectly sized to bring only what you need.
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.
Constructed 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.

It can even carry my new 11”x7” sketch journal, for which I thank Margaux, whose bookbinding videos and Substack sent me on a sketching/writing/bookbinding adventure this summer. I love the feel of this bag. The leather strap is just the right width for shouldering all day.

Sometimes I want to travel a little lighter on my sketching adventures, so the Hunter was my most recent purchase. While I use it for “essentials only” trips, it is roomy enough for an 11”x7” sketch journal I made (thanks to Margaux’s tutorials online) including the removable cover I made out of a pair of my husband’s worn out jeans. These bags are really sturdy but light on all day excursions.

My Hunter satchel in slate holds my entire watercolor adventure kit. My Sendak and Keeper pouch (in slate, with mono), an Orra sketchbook, an Eco Raw Studio bandana (in graphite), plus binoculars, a water bottle and field guides. Many thanks to the Kent family and team for their marvelous products.
