SS11 MUST-HAVE: THE ESSENTIAL SATCHEL


Our latest handbag range certainly goes straight to the top of the class! New in store, the Cambridge Satchel Company offers an eclectic selection of British-made, premium leather satchels in a range of neutral tones and acid brights.

Placing a contemporary spin on the classic school bag, the satchels have been created by Julie Deane and her mother Freda Thomas who set up the business from their kitchen table in 2008.

Inspired by a love for Harry Potter, the traditionally styled bags have quickly become a cult classic having been featured in Italian Vogue, played a starring role at some of the world’s leading Fashion Weeks and been subject to a very stylish collaboration with Commes des Garçons.

"I honestly thought my market would be schoolchildren," explains Julie Deane, who started the company to pay her daughter's school fees. Instead, the satchels have become the perfect accessory for countless new season trends and their wistful nostalgia has made them a massive success with canny fashionistas.

Big enough to hold all your daily essentials, they are ideal for both work and play and the range of colours ensure you’ll find the right one to fit very neatly in your wardrobe. Prices start from £95, while larger sizes are £115.
