Vintage Miguel Bags Over the years, seasoned Miguel bags drop in for a visit and we always try to get a snap. We thought you'd enjoy seeing what a few years of solid use do to your Miguel bag and the unique ways people customize a Miguel to make it their own personal piece of art...
This so-called Dude Miguel was the first to be seriously customized. Local customer Paul bought a bag for his wife and his aunt and didn't want to be left out.	He added a buckle to the strap so he could wear it at his waist. Miguel has since added this feature to most of the bags!		Silver snaps and a few other customizations later and this is truly a bag like no other!
Malina's bag has been her faithful companion and has held up great through travels, work and even doggy love. You see, the dog ate the wooden peg, so Malina came up with a clever substitute...		Sajru's was also one of the original Miguel fans (I think she and Malina bought them together from the first-ever batch). She says hers just gets better and better with time.
Look at Miguel's little ladies not so long ago! If you've got a vintage Miguel, drop us a photo so we can see how it's doing! Back to the top

The Miguel Satchel Portfolio
Miguel has made a few satchels in his day; this is the ultimate guy's bag afterall, but they are usually sold privately before we ever get to see them. This year, he's modified the design to make it more unisex-friendly and better suited to smaller people. This really is your lifetime long bag, as it's large enough to hold a small laptop or netbook. A manila file folder fits inside perfectly, so grab those files and head out to work in the sunshine. Inside, you'll find 2 large compartments and a smaller leather pocket.
Note that Satchel #7006 has magnetic closures instead of pegs.

Measures roughly 12"x 11.5"h x 5"d

This style is currently sold out. Please email us with your request to be notified when the new ones arrive! Request for a Miguel Satchel
