‘Scaramanga Vintage and Retro Interiors and Fashion

Scaramanga's Largest Travel Bag - Large Overlander

Some Scaramanga customers may not be aware that we’ve been designing and making leather satchels and travel bags for several years now. In fact we were one of a very small number of stores selling their own handmade leather satchels almost five years ago.

We’ve used this knowledge, valuable customer feedback and years of experience to bring a wider variety of quality classically styled leather satchels, messenger bags and vintage inspired travel bags, so if you like classic British design and traditional craftsmanship then you’ll love Scaramanga’s leather satchels, messenger bags and travel bags.

Emma, Ella and their Scaramanga Vintage Flight Bag 2

The great thing about Scaramanga leather bags is not only the wide range of choice, but also the versatility, so that there really is something to suit everyone. Of course, our leather bags are great for the normal uses: school, college, work, a day-to-day bag, a laptop bag or a weekend bag. But sometimes if you think outside the box, you can find a different use for our bags that you might never have thought of, so we have been thinking of alternative ways to use your Scaramanga leather bag that you might useful!

This time, I thought I’d look at things from the other side: from our view here at the Scaramanga office. In the same way customers receive orders from apparently out of the blue, we spend our days in the office packing up chests, furniture and bags and sending them out into the world with no idea where or who they go to.

  An old wooden chest can become a number of different things. It can be an addition to an extensive vintage collection, a one-off quirky piece in an otherwise modern home, or even a memory box which will be fondly filled with one’s most precious possessions.  And a bag, well that can become the life-saver bag which makes carrying stuff around uni easy, the perfect fashion accessory you’ve been looking for that compliments every outfit, or the bag which goes travelling with you over summer and comes back with the well-worn look to prove it. But we never get to see any of this; we never get to see what each piece becomes to an individual and how it comes to be fitted it in with their personal style.

  To this end, I set out to find an example of how a customer has taken our pieces and used them in their home. So we invited Herve Moreaux to tell us about what he’s bought from us, what he did with the furniture and to share some of his thoughts on interior design and style…
