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 colonial 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.
Custom Monogramming
Emmett, our laser engraving machine and in-house scribe, allows you to personalize our bags!
The monogram is laser-engraved on vegetable-tanned leather and attached with brass rivets (see the product photographs for an example). Note that the monogram does not replace the Peg and Awl brand. Be sure to include your wished-for letters in the order notes (up to 3) when placing your order! MONOGRAMMED BAGS ARE NOT RETURNABLE.

I am able to carry my Sendak in the hunter satchel, or placing found treasures into the satchel when hiking. The hunter satchel has quickly become my "everywhere bag", it's just the right size for me and my reservation adventures. Purchasing it is a 20 star choice!

After much deliberation I ordered the Hunters Satchel in Raddish! I absolutely love it! Very well made and a good size! I use it every day! I was nervous ordering the red but needn’t to have been as it’s a muted red and goes with everything!

I'd been wanting the Hunter satchel for awhile. When the sale came up, I decided to get it. It's perfect! I love the way it hangs on my body, the space available for my things, and the durability. I love Peg and Awl. I have purchased several things from them, both from their site and the ETSY shop. I've received quick shipping from both, and have not been disappointed yet. I really want the Little Rogue backpack, and that will be next!
