We’re always looking for ways to be more sustainable, because it’s already at the core of what we do. Our leather bags have always been made from natural hides, which are a product of livestock farming, and which would have otherwise gone to waste.
Our products are proudly made in England, where tradition, skill, and attention to detail come together.
We work closely with talented artisans who bring generations of expertise to every piece. Each stage of the making process is handled with care, giving our products their distinctive character and lasting quality.

"I absolutely love my backpack! A bit of a splurge purchase, but it’s timeless and excellent quality"
"I have had this backpack for 7 years. It is still perfect!"
"Ordered this bag and it is absolutely stunning!! So in love. Cannot wait to show it off to family and friends!! Looking forward to my next purchase too."
"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 most beautiful bag and leather is beautiful"
"I love my satchel so much. It’s now part of me. I’ve taken it everywhere and call it my emotional support satchel"
"Omg what a bag have had so many compliments on how good it looks and actually is! 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. Would definitely rate these guys 5 star going back at Christmas for a gift for my mum"
"The craftsmanship is exceptional, showcasing a rich, black colored leather that has a luxurious feel and a classic look. The stitching is robust and neatly done, promising durability for years to come. The adjustable strap is comfortable, allowing for versatile carrying options. Whether slung over the shoulder, it feels secure and stylish. Overall, this small Portrait backpack combines functionality with timeless elegance. It’s perfect for both professional settings and casual outings. Highly recommended for anyone in search of a reliable, stylish leather bag."
"Love my satchel. Lovely quality and great customer service. Need to save up for another one!"
"My third Cambridge Satchel and I love them all….excellent value, brilliantly made, with excellent service. Highly recommended"
