I am obsessed with handbags. It was trench coats, then shoes now it’s handbags. Please explain. So this week I have another little fabulous FiFi find in the bag department. As you all know the satchel handbag is the hot look : if you check out any style blogs you’ll see fashionistas carrying both Mulberry Oversized Alexa leather bag ($1,450) the Proenza Schouler PS1bag ($2,350). Ouch! That’s expensive. Especially if you want one in every colour. So please stop having a conniption and stamping your stomp-a-licous feet. I have found the cheap but cheap version.
I first spied the Cambridge Satchel Company handmade leather school satchels on a few blogs but the one that caught my eye was on the Vanessa Jackson blog : How chic is that red bag slung across like that? LOVE it! I also adore the green bag from Fashionsquad.com and the way blogger Hanelli is wearing hers in Vogue in a amazing neon lime. J’adore! It’s the idea of wearing simple, chic, low key colours and then adding that shock of colour with the cool, casual bag tossed ‘just so’ on the shoulder.
I tracked down the Cambridge Satchel Company and you will be thrilled that your credit card won’t curl up, shrivel and die when you pay for it. Choose any of the fabulous colours and you will instantly look groovy for just £78 (with Delivery:£20). I die!

Wow, I totally agree - they are gorgeous. Time and time again - the classic styling works.
Love that bolt of colour of the bag with classic colours!
