The Portrait Satchel is one of Mattocks’ most iconic shapes – compact, structured, and effortlessly stylish. During the workshop, you’ll be guided through each step of the making process by skilled artisans, using traditional leathercraft techniques.

Five New Colours Just Dropped

To celebrate this creative event, Mattocks has launched five stunning new colour options for the Portrait Satchel. From bold and vibrant to deep and moody, the updated palette gives you the freedom to express your style:

• Sunflower Yellow – Bright and uplifting
• Stone Grey – Understated and modern
• Signal Red – A classic statement
• Burgundy Wine – Rich and timeless
• Forest Green – Earthy and elegant

Each colour pops beautifully in Mattocks’ signature smooth leather, adding even more personality to an already standout silhouette.
