The story of the bag's inception is heartwarming and truly inspiring. British mother Julie Deane's daughter had been bullied at school and in an effort to earn enough money to send her to private school, she decided to try her hand at designing a school bag.The satchel's design was taken from the pages of Harry Potter, inspired by the bags that Harry and friends carried to Hogwarts. Update-her daughter is at private school and the bags are coming soon to Bloomies. If you can't wait, visit Cambridge Satchels.
Happy Friday everyone-and if you haven't already, sign up for my book give away Exotic Taste-Orientalist Interiors!

I love that story, well not that there was bullying of course. So good to have happy endings - and cute bags!
I am in love with the story behind its inception as much as I am in love with the bag...brilliant in every way.Thanks for the intro.
Love this story (also not the bullying part)...but how it was created to find good out of a bad situation! Such a classic look! Take care, Caroline
I probably go to the Cambridge website at least once a week. I am so indecisive on color--as in "I'll get black, works with almost everything" vs. "I really want the orange, can I pull it off?" vs. "The camel is just classic!" I'm headed to NY this fall, do you know when they'll be at Bloomie's? I would love to bring one home with me!
they said November--just in time for the holidays!
Truly a happy ending. I'm always glad to see more stylish ways to lug everything around in- time to update!
That is such a great story. It's amazing the lengths we will go to for our children. So glad there is a happy ending!
One can never have enough beautiful bags to help organize all the different aspects of life.
