Preview AW17: School Bags
We are nearly at the beginning of a new school term, either primary or secondary or university. Nothing gives you that kind of anticipation than a new satchel or bag where to store your books, gadgets and why not a lipstick? With the school uniforms being very strict, you can only show your style through the bag you are taking with you, while going to college you can be as much as stylish and creative as you can. I've seen few nice items good for any learning stage, so this post can be read from 7 years old upward. Note that these items can be perfect for the office as well especially if you cycle to work.
*In Store* I love the classic design of The Cambridge Satchel Company bags. They are exactly like my school bag when I was at primary school. This beautiful satchel in leather is sporting a detachable shoulder strap that can be bought separately to add a bit of a twist to your vintage looking bag. It is possible to have the bag personalised with initials. www.cambridgesatchel.com
*Not Yet* I love the stationery range and school bags at Cath Kidston. They cater for adults and kids so from kindergarten to college you are covered with gorgeous options. This yellow backpack has got pockets and you can match it with this pouch where you can stores pencils and all those little things that you don't want to loose and you want to find without rummaging in your bag. Check for when it will be in store or you can see the range of backpacks already available in other lovely patterns. www.cathkidston.com
*Not Yet* This gorgeous satchel is by Dr Martens and it depicts William Blake's "House of Death". A range dedicated to this artist will be in store hopefully soon, because the shoes and the bags are amazing. Also in this range another painting by William Blake will be available " Satan Smiting Job with Sore Boils". Check their arrival at www.drmartens.com
