Designed with the modern woman in mind, the Sattaché Classic Bag isn’t just another accessory—it’s a daily essential. With a unique separate shoe compartment, multiple carrying options (shoulder, crossbody, handheld, backpack, and sling), and lightweight, water-resistant and recycled materials, it embodies what black bags should be: functional, sustainable, and stylish.Check out our  step-by-step guide and video demo showcasing all the ways to wear the Classic Bag with ease and confidence.

Style It Like a New Yorker

One of the best features of the Sattaché Classic is that it simplifies packing. The neutral color means it matches every outfit you bring, and its multifunctionality means you need fewer bags. Take it from our video star, who uses hers not only around NYC, but also while traveling.

Whether you're commuting locally or exploring cities abroad, the Classic is designed to go wherever you do. Its lightweight, water-resistant construction makes it a reliable companion rain or shine—perfect for navigating busy streets, train stations, or airports.

Tip: Use the drawstring pouch (included with every Sattaché bag) for larger shoes like winter boots or other bulky items. Each drawstring pouch is made from recycled polyester—sourced from plastic bottles collected from the ocean.

Not only is it eco-conscious, but it’s also incredibly practical, especially on inclement weather days. For example, heading to the theater on a snowy evening? You can wear your winter boots en route, tuck your heels in the shoe compartment, and once inside, swap them out. Place your boots in the drawstring pouch and check them with your coat. You’ll be free to wear the Classic Bag all evening, stylish and hands-free.

• Best of all: You can roll it up for packing, and once you arrive to your destination, it bounces right back to its original shape—no creases, no fuss.
