A British Success Story | The Cambridge Satchel Company

The story behind The Cambridge Satchel Company is one of sheer admiration and one that bloggers such as myself played a huge part of their business growth. In 2008 their business was started by Julie Deane and her mother Freda with £600, an idea, a whole lot of hope and hard work. Their business idea really resonates with me, pick a classic piece of clothing (or in this case leather satchels), redesign it with modern methods of manufacturing, improve on small fashion, design touches and you have a great product to take to market and something with a nostalgic following. A very similar model I used with the Pin Collar Shirt and Hawkins & Shepherd.
