Save or splurge: 7 satchels perfectly suited to your Autumn/Winter wardrobe

Retro FTW.

ONCE THE RESERVE of public school pupils in Britain, satchels ultimately transcended the world of classrooms and corridors and made their way onto the catwalk.

While referenced as far back as 1599 by William Shakespeare in As You Like It, the satchel’s popularity has grown only in recent years, fuelled in no small part by the establishment of the Cambridge Satchel Company in 2008.

Traditionally, satchels were worn across the body to facilitate the weight of the books within, and while that remains the same today, the size and design of the satchel has changed over time.

If you have yet to get your hands on one and are keen to get a start on your A/W wardrobe, there is an array to choose from right now.

Whether you’re saving or splurging, want little or large, take inspiration from our top picks.
