Maria (5/5)

A very smart looking bag.

"A very smart looking bag. It’s quite flat (good for a backpack!) so I am having to be more organised with what I pack, which is not a bad thing. I am a bit disappointed in the leather though - it is nice and thick, but very stiff. It has some kind of coating on the surface which makes it look a bit plastic - what a pity! The leather in my previous Cambridge Satchel Co bags (sage batchel and red mini) was not like this. But on the whole, a nice looking bag."

The girls in Cambridge shop couldn’t have been more helpfull and helped me choose the right bag for me then talked about customisation so had my initials on.
