New Satchel - The Hillingdon.





Satchels were a big thing last year when they were first introduced by the creator of The Cambridge Satchel. Since then many high street stores have created their own versions of the must have bag at a much affordable price. This tan Hillingdon Satchel* (£24 & free delivery) from LYDC is the perfect bag for me and can be worn throughout the whole year because of the versatile colour and style - I thought it would be perfect for reviewing when offered. The bag itself is made from faux leather but it honestly looks real, the inside is lined with a suede effect material and this gives the bag more structure as well as making it feel more luxurious. The buckles have a tarnished gold effect. Last year I purchased their version of the Celine bag and was absolutely chuffed with the quality of that one so I knew this would be of great quality too.

When I saw it online originally I didn’t expect it to hold so much but I was proved wrong. The inside of the bag is really spacious, so much so that it can hold an A4 book and ring binder. Win right? The opening of the bag is via two buckles and the bag strap is also adjustable via a buckle. The front of the bag features a smaller pouch which is perfect for holding a phone or even cards. The  design  of the bag is simple but it still has the ability to smarten up any outfit. I know I will be getting so much use out of this satchel throughout the year.

Do you own a satchel?

  2. I would have never guessed this bag would be such a bargain, it looks so much more expensive! I've been eyeing up a satchel for ages now, but the price tag always put me off - this seems like a great budget option! X

  4. I bought almost the exact same bag from New Look for about £12! It's literally the best bag ever as it goes with everything and can be worn casually as well as formally. SHA-MAZ-ING

  8. I've got a burgundy italian leather satchel that I've had for 6 years now and is still going strong. It is my favourite bag for sure - I just keep going back to it!
