Leather satchel

Wow... so many cute bags in this thread... :luv:


@Agytha, I won't make it harder for you and give you any new suggestions. :lol: And anyway mine would've probably been the Mulberry and Proenza Schouler. Personally, I prefer satchels with a slightly softer design, which is why I much prefer these two over the Cambridge satchel... it just looks too stiff IMO. But well, obviously, there's quite a price difference between a Cambridge satchel and a PS, so I guess if you were wanting to spend the extra money for a top quality bag then go for the PS!


As for the colour, since it's a day bag, I would recommend a navy or tan bag, especially if you don't already have any bags in those colours, because they're so versatile! I also like the colour of the PS you posted too.


Oh and I love @Xsmall's Lola bag... so I guess that's also another good option. I think I want to look into getting one... :oops:

Hi all!

I'm pretty keen on getting a structured leather satchel but have heard some mixed reviews and are after some opinions from you lovely ladies :)

Personal requirements:
-size: big; I carry a lot around with me!
-colour: I'm quite open to suggestions! I already have a lot of black bags so Im leaning towards navy, tan, red, oxblood or a combination of any of those; I'm even a bit partial to pastel blue but am worried about keeping it clean and going with enough of my wardrobe for daily use.

I quite like the Cambridge batchel. It's 15" and has both a top handle and a shoulder strap.

Also, the Cambridge backpack. Also 15" but, as mentioned, with a backpack!

Here's the pastel blue:

I quite like the idea of the embossing :shy: but I can't decide how many initials I want on there :lol:

There's also a brand called The Leather Satchel Company which makes identical bags but you can pick any colour/size/customisation.

There's also Mulberry:
Oversized Alexa (every man and his dog seems to own haha but I do like it)
a bit softer design; 15"; top handle and shoulder strap.

And the amazing Proenza Schouler...
15.5"; top handle and strap; again, a softer design.

So, my loves, what do you think? Help me! I'm agonising! Haha!

I would love-love-love your opinions and if you have any other suggestions, please suggest away!!! :kiss:

Thank you in advance!

Wow, that's a very specific tough look to pull off, but if anyone can do it, I think it's you ;)

Thank you, love :) xxx

ps. I realize my post was not helpful at all.....:hmm: my bad. IMO, my favourite satchel is that last one you posted (the grey one). It's structured, but feminine and elegant, and the colour is so classy (reminds me of the Gucci S/S 2010 collection in some ways), and it's versatile. I'd go for that one if I were you ;)

Oooh but I also like the brown Mulberry one. And I LOVE that you need a giant one too, great minds think alike, no? ;) Your bag is like an extension of your life in my opinion :lol: You can't leave the house without a mini version of like a bit of everything in your medicine cabinet :nervous: That's how I am anyways :p Good luck, love :kiss: I'm actually debating going on the hunt for another bag myself this summer.....something simple but gigantic, yet that's sturdy. So hard to find something that fits the bill :nopity: most people's definition of a big bag these days is tiny, and they fall apart when you fill them! Sheesh, we buy a big bag to stuff it full without it breaking, right?! hahah...oh God, I digress.....

I know you haven't bought your bag yet, but omg I'm already anticipating the amazing 'what did you wear today" post with a fabulous picture and the outfit you paired with your future fabulous bag!!! I'd go with the the last one, Proenza Schouler. I think it was my fave ;)
