USEL Bags Deal to Sell Its Satchels in Titanic Belfast

Titanic Belfast is working with the organisation’s trading brand, the Vintage Satchel Company, which delivers direct employment to people with disabilities in North Belfast, to sell authentic local products.

Denise Kennedy, Head of Retail and Merchandising, said, “We are delighted to stock the Vintage Satchel Company’s products at Titanic Belfast. Having produced satchels for over 50 years, they are unique example of local craftsmanship.”

Ms Kennedy added “Using only locally sourced leather, its collections have become known for their simple, understated design – we are really looking forward to selling these during our Summer high-season and have no doubt that these will prove popular with tourists.”

USEL have been making the traditional brown satchel for over 50 years but expanded into brighter shades after coloured satchels were embraced by the fashion world.

The satchels are being sold as part of Titanic Belfast’s Year of Access, which aims to highlight the issue of disability access in its many forms and encourage industry improvements.
