If there is one accessory that is a must-have not by whim but by necessity, that is the Satchel. Some claim to believe it has its origins in Ancient Rome, known by that time as the loculus, but having no evidence of this, it is commonly believed that their immediate antecessors are those vintage school bags and mail carriers circa 1940.

Perfect for every daily occasion and being completely unisex, the Satchel has become an indispensable accessory. That is the main reason why The Cambridge Satchel Company, founded in 2008 with the aim of recovering an iconic British piece that had everything but somehow had disappeared, has decided to take a step forward creating a collection just for men with a wide range color palette, including pine and russet among navy, black, oxblood, sand and dark brown.

Following the classic leather Satchel, we can also find new designs such as The Map Bag, The Folio Group, available in three sizes including a backpack style, The Cartridge Collection, perfect for photographers, and the Expedition Collection, made with Sahara leather. But the star of the presentation was, undoubtedly, The Saddle Collection. Made with saddle leather, as its name states, is a classic working bag that matures over time and use, making this piece is unique.

The objective is clear; cover every possible necessity but always bearing in mind the quality of manufactured leather and the well-known brass hardware. As the founders say “stylish in their simplicity, perfect to treasure.”
