Fashion Epidemia: Satchels
A sudden outbreak of bags originally used by males hit the country same time last year. Cambridge Satchel Company, the makers of the old-school satchel/batchel, is making big bucks out of the once hottest thing in the UK and now a big thing here in the country. English fashion blogger Carolina Engman is very happy with her green Cambridge. Other bloggers from all over the world are also seen flaunting their own satchel—who wouldn’t be proud having a satchel that can be customized by embossing?
Other satchels have also gained a spot in our hearts like the Mulberry Alexa (which has a LOT of copies now!) toted by Sarah Jessica Parker, Michelle Trachtenberg, Claudia Schiffer, Katie Holmes, Agyness Deyn and Miley Cyrus.
Taking this with you is the easiest way to pump up your look and be either preppy or androgynous. This coveted bag can be easily yours through The School of Satchel, a producer of locally-made leather satchels. Their own version of this trend are hard to miss because they come in solid, limited colors making their bags unisex, in different sizes depending on your needs. The School of Satchel may be found on Multiply and Facebook.
