Following my bracelets & bangles obsession, I am still not over my neon/fluoro phase from last summer. I purchased the bright (highlighter) yellow Cambridge Satchel bag in June and after 4 long weeks of the wait… (I got mine with my initials on them - highly recommend!!) it finally came.
My true inspiration was a feature of this little bag in Elle, Alexa Chung & her satchel and Carolina Engman’s Fashionsquad.com for their bag giveaway. It goes with pretty much everything, I usually wear it with prints and black&white.
[simple care instructions: It is made from 100% natural cow leather. It is a hard wearing product and will last for many many years if cared for in the correct way]
- Avoid using your satchel in heavy downpours - If leather does get wet, please wipe off any water and allow to dry naturally.
- If left in direct sunlight there is a chance it may fade the colour of your satchel
- You may choose to care for your leather satchel as with other leather products using an appropriate protector.
- Your bag will age over time, don’t panic this is normal as it is a natural product. Ordinary Vaseline works well on minor scuffs and abrasions to buff your satchel
I have gotten endless compliments after compliments everywhere I go… at my office at Harper’s Bazaar (they have loads in their closet), on the streets, in the shops, restaurants, anywhere really. Someone once said to me I could never get hit by a taxi again in New York because of my bag and how bright it is, thankfully! I seriously am in love with my satchel so much I will probably end up getting other one, if not in neon probably in Metallic. Anyone looking for more neon love: try mini Celine luggage, Christopher Kane’s pouch/clutch and Proenza Schouler PS1s.
