“Maybe some of us are just different”

 

And that’s just the way we like it. Exploring new ways to reimagine our design classics is a delightful challenge and one made so much easier when the inspiration is so rich in storytelling legend. Let us explore the Cambridge Satchel X Wicked collection inspired by the new film. 

 

She's So Good!

We’ve named it Popular Pink in homage to the bubbly and passionate Glinda and we couldn’t love it more. Sweet but powerful, this colourway is the darlingest choice for the Binocular Bag which features a Celtic G gold hardware plate. This exact design was worn by Glinda herself in the Wicked Movie and is the perfect choice if you’re seeking an added sprinkling of star power. Also available in the Mini Binocular Bag size. A trio which includes  The Mini Sophie – our charming Doctor’s Bag – The Isla crossbody and our timeless Mini Satchel also undergo the Popular Pink treatment but in these designs, our luxurious matte leather also features wonderfully surprising pink glitter metallic finishes.


“They're Green?! (And Black)”

We’ve brought a vibrant Wicked Green onto a collection of our brand favourites. Here, The Mini Sophie is reimagined in a captivating shimmering metallic leather. This shimmering leather also features on our Mini Satchel, and is used to add a contrasting layer to our signature matte finish. Alongside the Wicked Green are a cluster of classic black pieces all rethought with an enchanting twist. Textured grain leather feels rich and indulgent on the Mini Binocular Bag and the larger Portrait Messenger styles. This also features on our traditional Mini Satchel and Mini Bowls bags but here, it sits against a rich and luxurious velvet. Velvet also takes centre stage on a Mini Sophie design. With its classic shape and evening-inspired fabric, it’s the perfect bag.

 

“Pink and Green Goes Good”

Can’t pick between the pink and green collections? We’ve made the decision so much easier with these striking handcrafted totes. The Micro Bowls Bag is designed in two halves with contrasting buckles to complete the dual colour styling, while the Mini Satchel displays a unique checkerboard finish. These twin colourways join together in such an unexpected but beautiful way and pay tribute to the friendship of Glinda and Elphaba. They’re a truly magical part of the collection and shine a spotlight on the elevated craftsmanship that lies at the core of Cambridge Satchel.

 

“Welcome to Shiz University”

Could there ever be designs more befitting a celebration of Shiz University? Featuring some of our most revered and purposeful classics; The Batchel, Small Portrait Backpack, Mini Satchel and Mini Binocular Bag have been handcrafted simply but beautifully using just our signature matte leather, and the striking new shade of Shiz blue. They’re the perfect canvas to showcase our superior workmanship and the smart pick when the brief is to find a bag that functions as excellently as it looks.
