Last week for our Throwback Thursday series, we decided to switch it up a bit in honor of the holiday season, taking a look back at popular gifts from a decade ago. One of those gifts made its way on various gift guides across the internet and onto PurseBlog readers’ screens. Many of you will remember the cult-favorite, Cambridge Satchel Company Satchel, which was not only beloved by savvy handbag collectors around the globe but fashion insiders and celebs too. A quintessentially British bag, the leather satchel came in a plethora of colors, and after first being introduced in 2008, it quite literally blew up.
The Cambridge Satchel Company Satchel celebrates British craftsmanship with exceptional materials and classic shapes, a beautiful blend of old and new. Though today we’re taking a look back at the many celebs who loved their classic satchel back in the day, the brand is still selling its bags to this day via their website.

Oh wow, I haven’t thought about Cambridge Satchel Company in a decade! I remember this cool older girl in my sorority used the highlighter yellow satchel as her schoolbag and I thought she was soooo stylish. Such a heyday for satchels…PS1, Alexa, so many more.
I remember wanting one until I saw it in person. It was a little stiff. I was so willing to get one in the highlighter color despite that.
On another note, I could go for Lauren Conrad’s outfit right now!
