A Celebration of Craft and Creativity

This October, artist Jessica Smith (@jessica_smith_illustration) brought her bold, expressive creativity to our stores as part of our Autumn/Winter celebration.

Our store windows featured her striking printed artwork, inspired by the rich hues and textures of the season, perfectly capturing the warmth, imagination, and timeless British charm that defines Cambridge Satchel.

Building on this artistic vision, Jessica then brought her creativity inside, hand-painting our leather bags live in-store.

Each piece became a unique creation, every brushstroke celebrating the craftsmanship, character, and individuality.
