The Cambridge Satchel Company is an iconic British brand that revitalized the classic school satchel for a modern, fashion-forward audience. Handcrafting every bag in the United Kingdom, the brand is a champion of British manufacturing and traditional leatherworking techniques. Their bags are celebrated for their durability, vibrant color palettes, and timeless silhouettes. What started as a small kitchen-table business has grown into a global phenomenon with collaborations ranging from Vivienne Westwood to The Beatles. The brand remains dedicated to producing bags that last a lifetime, maintaining a factory in the heart of England to oversee every stitch of production.

Our products are expertly made with the finest materials, so if cared
for they will last for decades. But we understand that accidents
sometimes happen, and we're on hand to help!

The brand was founded in 2008 by Julie Deane OBE and her mother, Freda Thomas. Julie famously started the company with just £600 and the goal of making enough money to move her children to a better school, eventually turning the venture into a multi-million-pound success story.
