Sustainability
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.

For forever
"I have had this backpack for 7 years. It is still perfect!"
Beautiful!!
"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.
"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."

"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"
