I don't actually own a Cambridge Satchel. Not yet anyway. If it wasn't for me saving every penny of my minimum wage salary to put toward a new home then I'd buy ten without hesitation. They are beautiful.
Founded in 2008 by Julie Deane and initially aimed at school children the satchel gathered a cult following. Since, the brand has collaborated with designers and created their own fashion lead lines. Every satchel is manufactured in the UK, as the founders were keen to keep British manufacturing alive. They opened their Leicester based factory in 2011.
You can buy the quintessential British bag online and they are also stocked in boutique and high end department stores across the world. But more notably, The Cambridge Satchel Company launched their first stand alone store this year. Based in Covent Garden you can see the entire mesmerising range as well as getting your bag embossed on site! Bonza.
