The Cambridge Satchel Company

You may have seen the adverts on Google chrome about how this wonderful leather satchel company was started  in 2008 by Julie Deane and her mother Freda Thomas as a way to pay private school fees for Deane's children. This lady clearly has some determination !

 Her colourful handmade leather satchels are all based on an original Oxford and Cambridge satchel design and they were aiming the design at young school children !
 But they met high demand as a fashion accessory.

 The fashion craze made production of the satchels increase from three homemade items a week to 1,500 in 2011, and turnover increased from ₤15,000 to an 8 million in 2011 which is incredible !

The satchels are clearly brilliantly thought out and they have both modern and classic designs going from the Fluoro pink satchel to the deep red downing satchel !

My personal favourite is the green fluoro because its such a classic design in such a modern bright colour !
Many celebrities have been seen with the satchels as well !
