How Did Backriver Bags Start?......

After 15 years working in the sewing world, designing wedding gowns, children's clothing and interior furnishings I decided I needed a change so turned my hand to interior decorating. After receiving a major back injury I needed to once again rethink my path in life. So while in recovery my sister inlaw asked me to make her a bag and that was when Backriver Bags was born.

We started with fabric bags at a few local markets but very quickly moved to working with leather. I started looking around for an idea and a style that we could evolve into our own.

I have always loved the vintage school satchels but these where always so hard.

With a little imagination and a lot of adapting I created not only a piece of art but a functional satchel for today's needs.

Over the last 8 years our product has seen many changes. We have embraced what our customers feel they need in a satchel and have tried to incorporate these ideas in our designs.

* Our range represents everyday luxury.

* We are forever searching for interesting, unique, exotic and colourful leathers.

* Thank you for taking the time to read about how our little company came about.
