Satchels & Shoulder Bags

A satchel is structured, holds its shape, and typically has a top handle—sometimes paired with a removable shoulder strap—making it well suited to the office or more polished occasions. A shoulder bag carries from a single shoulder strap without a top handle, tends toward a more relaxed silhouette, and works naturally for daily wear. Some Quince styles convert between the two.

Our collection has a range of sizes. You can find mini (clutch-size), medium (fits a slim notebook, wallet, phone, and sunglasses for everyday carry), and large (fits a 13" laptop, water bottle, and larger essentials). Dimensions are listed on each product page.

For an everyday bag that carries beyond the basics, medium is the right call. For office days with a laptop or files, a larger size will help hold the necessities. For evenings out or carrying light, mini and small sizes work well. If you're deciding between sizes, sizing up is the safer choice—bags rarely feel too large but often feel too small once you're using them.

Most Quince satchels are structured—they hold their shape upright with a defined silhouette. Shoulder bags tend toward a slouchier feel, with softer leather and a less rigid form. Structured styles read more polished; slouchy styles feel more relaxed and casual.

Stuff with tissue when not in use to help the bag hold its shape. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth after each wear and condition with a leather balm every 4–6 months. Store in the included dust bag when not in use, and avoid hanging the bag by its handles long-term—it strains the leather at the attachment points over time.

Returns are accepted within 365 days of the order date in original condition.
