I've written before about how I prefer well-made, unique and reasonably priced bags over overpriced, faddy It Bags. So when I saw The Cambridge Satchel Company's satchels and batchels (which have a handle like the Mulberry Alexa) my little heart leapt. Made lovingly by a small Cambridge-based company, they are the classic satchel design, brilliant quality (really, they'll last a lifetime) AND in yummy colours. They've even featured in Italian Vogue. Check this selection out. Serious. Bag. Love. Look at the cute embossing on the pink bag!
I got the smallest 11" size as I am a midget and big bags look ridiculous on me. It's the perfect handbag size and I will use it to death for evenings down the pub or days out with just the basics. They ship worldwide, so it's the perfect chance to grab a little bit of England, if you're into that kind of thing. (Didn't we all use satchels like this for school at some point? I know I did!) I think I need to wear mine a bit lower, actually...

Cute! I hanker after one of these also, pref in red :)
What a fabulous bag - I would like one in each colour! Just the right size to carry all your stuff on a day out. The bigger models would make an excellent computer bag. Now which colour shall I choose? (lovely pics also!)
I loooove these bags!! Your black one is gorgeous! xx
OH!!! you look so cute!!! and i lovelovelove the yellow satchel!!!
how great is that yellow one! I totally agree, though I have to admit one of the main reasons I go for it bags is because they have a long shelf life normally. But these look like great quality! xxx LZ
Lovely bag (and great look on you too) - Oooh - I think one of those is in order - a bit of old english to go with my Pashley methinks... :)
They are great, I have one on my imaginary wish list.
I love those bags!
Old school cool. Much better in these colours than the old brown ones. Nice choice.
They were in Grazia too! I love the pink one! x
Lovely bags! It's great to have a sturdy, reliable bag that accompanies you everywhere (who's got the time to change their bag according to their outfit anyway?). Nice choice!
Ooh you got one! Remember me telling you about them? I seriously want a purple one. Are the buckles a bit of a pain though?
I love these. I always carry a satchel--did through my year working in New York's publishing world too--it always felt more professional than a regular bag.
am still thinking of the red one
Oooooh love these! I've got a slouchy satchel at the moment (just in regular tan but with a purple scarf tied to it)... but I think I need a yellow one now... or a red... or...
Oh dear, what have you done?! ;)
Buy ladies, buy!
LOL Rose! Maybe do the week test - if you're still thinking about it in a week, go for it!
Natalie - I don't remember you telling me about these! I remember some German bags you were telling me about that were different colours? No the buckles are fine - I just do one up though. Scruffy? Moi?
OMG, LOOOOOVE them! Now I know what I want for my birthday next month :)
satchel bags are my all time top love.
i would very much like to own one of these!!
OMG LOVE THE FRINGE!!
You look about 12.
Love it !!!
Love the bag! Can you recommend a good size that can carry a netbook and textbooks. I don't want something TOO huge, since I'm only 5'1, but I want something that will be able to fit my junk, of course.
Thanks. The bag looks absolutely gorgeous on you.
mary: you need a 15'' one to carry a 13'' macbook with sleeve. you could probably have a 14'' one if you dont mind carrying it without sleeve. i have the 15'' and it doesnt look or feel massive though, i think its as its not very wide like some satchels.
Can the 11" 's interior accomodate and iPad?
