Julie Deane, founder of the Cambridge Satchel, is an icon to those who are looking for entrepreneurial spirit.
"Julie founded The Cambridge Satchel Company at her kitchen table in 2008, with just £600."
The inspiration for the company came from Julie's love of an old satchel she had as a child and her desire to find a similar version for her own children when they stated school. When Julie discovered no one was producing traditional leather satchels she set about designing and producing them. Since then she has sold them online and created a global fashion craze.
From sourcing UK manufacturers, to liaising with top fashion editors and engaging with big name celebrities who have since become both fans and advocates of the brand, Julie is quoted to only of wished her successful journey had started 20 years ago!
Julie's quirky, colourful leather satchels, modeled on the 1970s original, have been carried by everyone from Zooey Deschanel and Alexa Chung to Daniel Radcliffe and Russell Kane.
The bags start at £106 we love this!!
