I've sworn on my LC's that they are my favorite even if the fake ones are strewn all over the city, because I can literally bring all of my stuff; just shove it in and I'm good to go. My Bff and I first learned about the Cambridge satchel over some blog, we lusted on it yes, because we are suckers for Proenza Schuler's satchels but are in no way able to afford it. Cambridge was the next best thing at just over 6 grand. When Daryl Chang from Preview Magazine did a debut on her satchel in flourescent orange, we were envious but thought that it will just pass. Sometime in May, just when my very handsome Twixo spoilt me with shopping money; Schu was already merchandising the coveted satchels... and for some odd reason, me and my BFF just brushed it off and forced ourselves to believe that the bag was too stiff and tiny. Then the dreadful happened (exaggeration)... My dearest cousin bought a 13" Cambridge satchel in solid green. Haha and the rest is history because we were just green with ENVY. Came June 1, I excused myself from work at exactly 9:45am, went to the mall and literally knocked on Schu's door because they were not open yet and bought the babies from inset. My Bff got the red one and mine, mustard. To date, it is my favorite everyday bag (hers too). It taught us le valuable lesson of simplifying... MAYN! The 11" satchel is real tiny you barely could fit your coin purse; however, I am inlove with it... even if it means giving up my Dior make-up kit. 'must be true love. <3
