Spotlight on: The Cambridge Line - Cambridge Satchel

Because sometimes, a little opulence says it all. From our beautiful boxy Artisan Bag in bridle leather to The Sophie in smooth calf leather, we’ve rounded up our favourite special designs to last you a lifetime from The Cambridge Line. 


The Artisan 

The Artisan Bag is the perfect hybrid of classic design and modern details. Its boxy shape, rounded edges and reinforced top handle are designed for the ultimate comfort, whether you're carrying it by hand or crossbody with its adjustable and detachable leather shoulder strap. Combined with our luxurious, soft and velvety bridle leather and magnetic closures which are cleverly disguised as buckles, this bag is the epitome of stylish design and practicality. Note its subtle artisanal details, such as its branded hardware, its elegantly stitched v-shaped top handle and its handy inside pocket - we just had to name it The Artisan Bag!

 

The Doctor’s Bag

Much like The Satchel, the original Doctor's Bag was made for a very specific purpose but had sadly faded from common use. We always loved its heritage and appreciated its functionality, so we fully embraced the challenge of reinventing the style for the modern wearer.


The unique structured frame of The Doctor's Bag allows it to open so widely you can put your hand to anything in seconds - handy for doctors in an emergency, certainly, but also pretty useful when you need to answer that all important call or find your keys in a rainstorm.


Years in the making, we took the time to source the right leather for that premium look and feel, to perfect its unique frame and to cleverly design hardware that allows for a gorgeous shoulder strap (that all but disappears when not in use - maintaining the bag's lovely silhouette). When something looks this good, it's easy to forget about functionality but let's just say, this will quickly become the only bag you'll want to carry.


The Sophie

Named after British pop star Sophie Ellis-Bextor, who played a pivotal role in the Cambridge Satchel story, this bag is the fun little sister of The Doctor's Bag. Our clever designers have taken the structured frame of The Doctor's Bag and re-created it on a smaller scale. The ingenious structure of the bag allows The Sophie to open almost 180°, revealing a premium cotton twill lining and giving you full, unencumbered access to your belongings. No more bailing out the contents of your bag to find your favourite red lipstick!


The Mini Sophie

We're sure you'll agree that this petite version of The Sophie is just such a beauty! Our clever designers have taken its structured frame and recreated it on a smaller scale, so that little bag lovers can experience the luxury of our framed Calf Grain leather bags too.

Small but mighty, the ingenious structure of the bag allows The Mini Sophie to open almost 180º, revealing a premium cotton twill lining and giving you full, unencumbered access to your belongings. Carry it by its comfortable top handle or slip it over your shoulder with its gorgeous shoulder strap for those easy-going days. Don't forget to snap it shut and lock it with its very own little golden key when it's not in use - although we're certain that you'll never want to put it down.
