The Cambridge Satchel Co. have always been fans of essentialism, the subset of minimalism that focuses on quality over quantity. The essentialist asks not, "What can I leave behind?" But rather, "What are the best things to carry?" Well, this charming leather satchel is certainly one of them. As your satchel sits steadfastly beside you, you will find your belongings exactly where you put them before you left home. Not scattered, not jumbled, just there, at your fingertips. It creates a remarkable sense of ease in your daily life.

This Satchel has been created by skilled makers at a workshop in the British Midlands. The design of this satchel has been updated with convenient magnetic closures, eschewing the double buckle closure of the traditional British school bag. As well as the main chamber, there is a small front pocket to keep your essentials close to hand. The Satchel is carried by its adjustable shoulder strap and can be safely kept in its protective dust bag should you ever decide to put it away for future generations.
The Cambridge Satchel Co. was born from a passion for excellence. When Julie and her mum Freda started the company at their kitchen table in Cambridge, they had one goal – to make enough money to provide Julie’s children with an excellent education and a brighter future.
