I bought a new satchel today – it’s been a good month for being paid for fulfilling large orders. I already have my ever popular pillar box red 14″ satchel (my school bag) and I am always being asked where I got it. And I’m happy to tell people. Cambridge Satchels is a British company, making tremendously high-quality, heirloom products and I’m delighted to recommend them.
(BTW I got the 11″ navy hand-bag type today)
So, satchels it is today:
2. Clutterbux on Folksy. I carried one of these army surplus bags all through senior school. Mine was not this beautifully decorated though. Mainly I tipp-ex’d ‘Greenday’ all over mine.
3. Another Folksy beauty in gorgeous soft brown leather from Hold on to your Handbag.
4. The howies Hand Me Down satchel. As howies says “These products have been made to last. So that one day you can hand them down to someone else. And they can carry on their little journeys.”
Want to see some more? Go on then:
1. Sarah North on DaWanda.
2. Small and pretty eco satchel from giant dwarf.
3. I heart Wooly Bison. Their designs really appeal to me.
4. Ready Set Go. Nostalgic name, nostalgic wares. With something extra.
And finally:
1. One of a kind satchels in vintage and recycled fabrics from The Ladyship.
2. Satchelman on Etsy – hand stitched in England.
3. Edinburgh based Soda + Kitsch.
4. rennes le chateau: “Physically attached to her Juki sewing machine, Julia spends most of her time cutting out leather and drinking tea.” Good girl!
