I've been eyeing Shinola's bags and when the Runwell Satchel went on sale in nubuck, I decided to pull the trigger. The Runwell Satchel reminds me of old school travel bag.
For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall.
Check out my video to see what fits!
This is a large sized bag. You can carry it by the top handle or use the strap for shoulder or crossbody wear. The strap is removable which is really nice because I do think for the size and weight of this bag, that the strap is on the thin side. I would want a thicker strap.
I do love how this bag pops against a neutral colored outfit. The merlot is so rich in color. It also looks velvety which really draws the eye.
Let's take a closer look at the details.
Shinola really pays attention to detail and I love how classic their designs are. When I first took this bag out of the box I was surprised at how soft the nubuck feels. It feels velvety and has a super nice hand feel. The handles are rolled and very comfortable to grasp.
The zipper is smooth like butter and the hardware is brass. I think it looks really nice against the merlot.
There's not a whole lot of branding on this bag, and I would consider it to be very minimalist which I love. Stitching is done really well.
The edge paint looks smooth. There's an exterior slip pocket on the back of the bag for your passport or receipts. The bottom of the bag is smooth leather and there are brass feet as well.
The inside of the bag has fabric lining. It feels like it could be heavy cotton canvas. There are two inside slip pockets for your phone and keys. On the opposite side there's a zippered pocket and small card slot.
This bag is currently on sale for under $500! I cannot believe how well made the bag is for the price. It rivals high end bags. I love this bag, but it's just a little too big for an everyday carry for me. If you love big bags, this may be for you.
Even though I am returning this bag, I'm already eyeing the Medium Bixby Crossbody. It seriously reminds me of The Row! Stay tuned because I will have more reviews from Shinola coming. That's it for me, hope you all have a wonderful Monday!
