I’ve been looking for a bag that is both practical and stylish – and, most importantl, not black – for quite a while now. A couple of days ago I stumbled across this beautiful satchel by The Cambridge Satchel Company and I think the search is officially over. To celebrate its fifth birthday, the brand has collaborated with iconic British designer Vivienne Westwood to produce a limited edition range that combines the classic satchel with the queen of punk’s infamous squiggle print. The design also incorporates the pale tan straps and buckles which first featured in Westwood’s Pirate collection from 1981.
The bags, which come in two sizes and three colourways: yellow and black, white and red, and brown and black, retail at Β£195 for the 14″ size and Β£165 for the 11″ version. They are sold exclusively at Vivienne Westwood standalone boutiques and The Cambridge Satchel Company stores in central London, so I think a trip up to town is on the cards for me if I want to get my hands on one before they sell out.
I love the red and white one, unfortunately it’s too far out of my price range at the mo. If you get one take lots of photos of it for me!
I know, I’m thinking Christmas present…
Will definitely take some pics if info get one. X
Good for you! I’m trying not to be jealous π
I’m trying to justify it by thinking that I’ll get a lot if use of it! X
Gah!! Love these!
They’re gorgeous aren’t they? X
These are so fantastic! Early Christmas present to yourself?
That’s what I’m thinking. Or I’ll buy one and get hubby to wrap it up for Christmas Day. That’s usually what happens anyway! X
That. Is. Adorable.
Isn’t it just? X
Which color are you going for Ase? Are you thinking about the bigger size or the smaller one? When it comes to bags, I usually grab “the bigger the merrier”- ones. π

I agree, the bigger size would be more useful. I think I prefer the red and white – what do you think? Xxx
Absolutely! – you will love the red and white! And I will too!
π
Those are pretty! I was going to ask which color as well? Hard choice! π
I like the red and white best. Would be nice with a pop of colour. X
They look great! I like the red and white one. I would get the bigger size. Which size and what colour are you going for?
I’m thinking the same. Red and white in the bigger size! X
Hurray! Great choice! Do a bag review after you have settled in your new bag π
Oh so gorgeous – whichever you choose you can’t go wrong!! xx
I’m so bad at making decisions, would like them all really! But as that’s not an option I think the red and white is most striking. Xxx
I agree 100% !!! π
Also coveting! Scouring the internet trying to find NYC stockiest, arrived on your site, happy to meet a fellow covetous one! Really need to see the bag up close and personal. Hopefully I will arrive at my destination! π
