I have given Cambridge 5 stars as I ordered the small backpack from Australia and it arrived so quickly - I was so impressed. Given Covid our domestic parcels take forever. The product itself is a l... See more

I used to love these traditional satchels in funky contemporary colours. I collected them in the 15in and 13in sizes, which I found most useful for daily use. I also bought the briefcase in a... See more

made my day

I bought my first Cambridge Satchel during the 30% sale promotion. I get the “Red Celtic Grain with Harris Tweed® Houndstooth” and it came in two days. This color made my day. Love this Christmas red so much.

My husband ordered me a new poppy bag…

My husband ordered me a new poppy bag in Fir for my birthday, it came on my birthday which was very good service as he only ordered it the day before, very well packaged and in its own dustbag, it's a lovely bag I find it's just the right size for me, I thought the colour was a little darker than on the website but I like it very much.
My other poppy in oxblood is still wearing very well it's very nice to have another colour in this style

Overpriced for what it is

Delivery was somewhere at 6-7£ which is extortionate for a domestic shipping price. The bag is ok, I wear it quite a lot, but quality is average and the bag ia very simplistic with zero details/compartments on the inside. I bought mine 30% off but even then it was not worth the price. It's mainly the colour i liked about it.

The first has been great, so back for more!

I purchased my first Cambridge satchel at the British Public Library back (black 15" satchel) in 2018 and it still looks like new in 2022. They're very well made and durable. They soften a little with leather conditioner but still hold their shape well. I just bought my second one - the briefcase - in rhubarb and it has a gorgeous deep red color, more red than oxblood, but not bright at all. Also got my 19 yo goddaughter the batchel 13" as a starting college present, and she loves it. Highly recommend these products.

Quick but expensive p&p

I have made several purchases over the years and have always been pleased.
My (beautiful) bag arrived promptly and was well packaged but it was a little galling - and unusual - to have to fork out £6.99 for p&p. This was heightened when a day later I received an email saying it would be free p&p for the weekend…

Beautiful Bags

The bags I ordered were beautifully made and I can’t wait to wear them! Also the shipping was fast which was much appreciated. I’d absolutely buy from them again. I’d also like to add the straps of the bags were size inclusive which is always a rare find. It’s such a struggle to find crossbody purses that offer longer straps for plus size bodies!
