Vintage Red Milkman Satchel

Are you old enough to remember the trundling of the electric milk float? And dare we say maybe even the horse and cart? And also the jangle of leather milkman's satchel as the milk man rummaged around for change? Well, Brit Stitch have reimagined the humble milkman's satchel into a versatile and useful red leather bag. The origin's of the original vintage red milkman satchel are rather splendid too. Peter Jones leather works in South Wales was asked one day, over 40 years ago to create a milkman's satchel for the local milkman. Which Peter Jones duly did. Then only recently, the same milkman came back to not ask for another bag to be made but simply to fix the leather strap. This was the inspiration in creating milkman satchels in a variety of colours.
The Brit Stitch vintage red milkman satchel has a detachable, adjustable strap, magnetic fastening and inner pocket. The vintage red is a striking colour and will only get better with age.

Meet the Maker: Brit Stitch

What began almost 50 years ago as Peter Jones Leather Works in Abergavenny, Wales, has evolved into Brit-Stitch, a brand with a thoroughly modern take on traditional iconic leather bags. Their celebrated Milkman satchel has its roots in a commission from local milkman Toby over 40 years ago, who returned in 2010 not for a new bag but for minor repairs to his original satchel after decades of daily use - testament to extraordinary craftsmanship. Inspired by this durability, Brit-Stitch now creates stylish milkman satchels in various colours and three sizes, each handcrafted in their Abergavenny workshop using the finest quality leather. Traditional skills handed down through generations ensure every bag features seamless stitching, beautiful buckles, and that satisfyingly addictive clasp. Available in a rainbow of colours from seasonal mint green to classic tan brown, these bags are designed to carry everyday essentials whilst developing a unique patina over time. Made lovingly in Britain with clean, minimal designs influenced by over 40 years of company history, Brit-Stitch represents authentic Welsh leather craftsmanship.
