Remember the craze that was the leather satchel? I don’t think its going anywhere soon if the popularity of leather satchels made by companies like Cambridge Leather Satchel and Zatchels are anything to go by. I like the thick hard leather and the traditional hardware they have on them. I have one of these traditional satchel type things and I can tell you that it is rather a pain to carry because although the leather will soften a little over time and with regular use, it never gets very soft. So your space is very limited. It may not be a bad thing you know, it stops you carrying everything including the kitchen sink 🙂
Recently, I came across another style of traditional leather bag that had me champing at the bit to get hold of one. This was the Saddle Bag and I first came across it on Zatchels for £60 (S) and £70 (L) . Yes, we’re talking about bags, not the saddle bags on your thighs that makes your bum look big 😛
I hadn’t seen this design around on other sites prior to this, and I liked how cute it was. I could quite easily see myself with the green one – I’ve been hankering after a green bag in just that shade! 😀
