SCHOOL GIRL CRUSH

I'm always on the look out for something stylish to carry fabric samples, paint chips and other tools of the trade around town. This satchel by Cambridge Satchel Company is classic and chic and certainly fits the bill. An update of the classic 1950's English school bag, the satchel comes in traditional leather tones as well as eye popping au courant shades. 

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.
