The School of Satchel

The school tote's all grown up!

The School of Satchel 11" in Navy.

There’s no doubt about it, the satchel is definitely the bag of the season.  With all the floral, floaty, clogs and hippie trend happening, a satchel is definitely on the list.  Whether it may be to allow you for more movement while on the go and (cos seriously the crooked elbow look has had its day).  Or to store all your work what-haves still looking chic, everybody needs a satchel.  First we saw the classic schoolboy satchels from The Cambridge Satchel Company, then the cute candy-coloured mini satchels by Kate Spade and now another recent find and soon to be known all over the world (mark my words!) The School of Satchel has created a collection of leather satchels too.

The School of Satchel 11" in Navy.

These babies are made from 100% genuine leather and they come in 4 must-have colours: Oxblood, Tan, Black and Navy; plus they are available in 3 sizes: 11", 13" and 15" -- to cover all the bases (from play to work and all those in between).   The satchels all have antique hardware and the interior is made of the same colour leather.  The best bit, proudly Philippine made.  Yeah!

What I like about these satchels are the buckle straps in front (it tells me the contents of my bag are safe, though its a pain to open when you're rushing to answer your mobile phone!)  And the small pocket in front as it's the perfect size to drop your keys, lipstick and any other small items you seem to stuff your bag with.  As well as the adjustable straps -- it will always be the right length for me.  Did I mention I get stares and double takes?  I'd like to think its cos of the bag and not cos I have something on my face, haha. :D

3 reasons why you need to buy this bag:
Not that we ever really need an excuse to splurge on a new arm candy, but this satchel has given me a multitude of reasons to forget about budgeting and other more important priorities... 
1. It bag for summer!  Need I say more?
2. 100% genuine leather and made in the Philippines.  Pinoy Pride!
3. It’s available online at theschoolofsatchel.multiply.com, so you don’t even have to leave the comfort of your couch to get it. Brilliant.
