SANS BEAST

Women's Black Reader Satchel

One of our OG styles - the Reader Satchel is the perfect sized cross body handbag. Unique + practical, the two gussets + card sliders organise your essentials, while a custom handle adds distinctive style. Use with the detachable, adjustable strap as a shoulder bag, carry by the handle, or add an Elemental Chain Strap for a new mood - available as a separate purchase. + Simply wipe with a damp cloth, or add a little diluted shampoo to clean more serious spills, then wipe again with a damp cloth to remove any excess. It's important to avoid oil-based and ink stains, as well as the use of any solvents in cleaning your bag (alcohol, acetone, bleach, silicones etc), as these can be absorbed + damage the bio-based fabrics. + When attaching straps, take care to ensure the rounded edge of the dog clip - rather than the lever clasp - sits against your bag. If attached incorrectly the lever end of the clasp can scratch your treasured bag. + Avoid leaving your bag/pouch/wallet in direct sunlight for hours on end - despite our fabrics being robust + less prone to sun damage than animal based leathers, they may still discolour/fade with prolonged exposure to sun. Most Sans Beast bags - other than fabric or canvas bags - come with an undyed, recycled cotton dustbag and we recommend storing your item in this when not in use. + Our bags have been tested + verified for colour fastness, but we would advise against wearing light coloured clothing in extreme humidity or substantial wet weather, as edgepaint colour transfer could occur. Note, the edgepaint is seen on the hand painted edges of some of our bags. + Our bags are not indestructible, nor will they take kindly to being overloaded. When we say overloaded, we refer to filling it to the brim thus causing the bag to distort + have undue pressure applied to the strap connection areas. + Sans Beast totes are not a fully rigid construction, rather they are semi-structured with some softness to make them comfortable to wear + carry. We recommend you store them hanging by the handles to help retain their shape, rather than sitting them flat while empty for extended periods. If you see some slight collapsing or softening at the base, we recommend stuffing the bag firmly with paper or tissue to help the fabric return to its original shape. + As with every quality accessory - shoes, bags, sunglasses, jewellery - the key is in rotating your pieces; don't wear the same item every day, and it will return the favour with a long life. + Our embossed textures are achieved by a heat embossing process, to emulate the texture of the animal kingdom (without killing said animal kingdom). There can be some variation in the embossed surface between website image + what you receive, depending on where the pattern piece has been placed during the cutting process. Colour: black
