I happened to go into The Cambridge Satchel Company when there was a sale on, and managed to get a really beautiful satchel for less than half the original price. The quality seems good, and it’s great to support a UK company. There is a big range of colours and sizes so there should be something for everyone who wants a well made satchel. Saying this, there were a few in fluorescent animal print which looked very cheap. In general, a good range of well made bags in a handy location.

I just recovered my bag and I really wanted to like it but the quality is not there. If you think that the bag will be perfect you will be disappointed and when you contact their customer«service» you will be more than disappointed. The stitching is all loose and they suggest when you contact them that you play the nip and tuck with your bag. I really didn’t need another project. Be aware they will not pay for return shipping so if you absolutely must buy the bag purchase it from a third party that would actually cover shipping costs and not argue with you over email.

Ok, so I received my 15 fluro pink batchel a few months ago. Let me say it is absolutely stunning. I would recommend this bag to anyone as the quality of the leather seems very high. Also, the detail on the bag(e.g. Silver buckles, straps, embossing) is amazing. I would have given this bag a five, but it does have a few cons. The buckles, although lovely make opening and closing the bag a chore. I found myself holding more things in my hand throughout the day to avoid going in and out of the bag. Also, the card holder/display on the front of the bag doesn’t fit a stand business card, so I am not sure what to put in there. Also, the(15″) bag is deceptively smaller than it appears. My netbook, umbrella and notebook filled it up quickly. Lastly, the shoulder strap doesn’t have a loop attached to it to kept the long end from raising up. I have gotten so many compliments on the bag that these cons seem minor. Overall, it is a great bag and I love it.
