The daughters, being right on trend, have had their eyes on a satchel & so we duly treated them to one each for Christmas.
In the run up to Christmas, we could only find one classic brown satchel at vintage-shrewsbury - a fabulous shop with gorgeous vintage finds ...
We duly ordered a black one online & then the girls took ages to decide who gets which one & because they have the 15 inch satchel which can hold their lovely notebooks & even an ipad if needed.

Of course, things often come full circle because like many parents, we used leather satchels at school - they were not considered trendy, just what we all used. I don't recall them coming in any particular colours in my time but they certainly did the job of carrying around all our bits. I even had a leather music bag ....
Did you use a satchel at school? Leather or canvas? Trendy or the norm?

I love the leather smell of the Cambridge satchels & how beautifully they are made & while browsing their website cambridgesatchel.co.uk I thought .... Hmm I wonder what colour I would choose? I am rather inclined towards the Racing Green colour or Antique Gold or White or red ... just so hard to decide!!
What colour would you choose?
Thanks for stopping by, I love your feedback & links so I can return the visit!
