I saw this gorgeous deep blue color--looks like it was made for ASOS. Sold out but sure is beautiful!

Try the Loch Blue at The Leather Satchel Company. Not quite as bright as your blue but not as dark as Navy. These guys are so nice and responsive. I should get my free swatches next week. If you have questions, they email you back almost immediately. I'm thinking of getting a custom satchel in Loch Blue and Charcoal black. I think I'll do just the gusset and the strap in the black, the rest all blue.

They do handles, and magnetic closures, custom sizes, wider gussets, they seem to be able to customize in very many ways.

I think you'll luv your satchel. And if you end up not liking it for some reason, trust me, I think you can easily sell it on Ebay. There are alot of people out there that haven't ordered from Cambridge directly, like me, because they don't want to wait up to 30 days for the package. But I don't think you can go wrong with this bag especially with a basic color that you can match with everything. I personally don't like black bags which is why I got this one too but smaller from Zatchels (also in the navy). Let us know how it turns out :D

I am torn between a basic color like navy or a neon like yellow. How long will the neon phase last? I would like to keep using the bag after that...

Here is my green beauty (15" Cambridge)...love her :) Fits everything I carry plus I still have a space for something else...big difference between the 11" and 15" isn't there :D

The 15" fits a lot! Do you think it's too big for someone between 5'1" and 5'2"?

I'm only 5" and I wear a 15" and some might think its too big for me but in the end its what you feel comfortable with and what fits your lifestyle. Also, on the colors I personally have liked neons since I was a kid and which is why I bought all four colors and I will continue to wear whether or not they are in. They won't be on the runway next year but to me that doesn't matter cause I love neon...so again its whatever you're comfortable with ;)

Its actually navy not black. I like black bags but I have heaps (including a black OS Alexa) so I was going for something different.
Glad I was able to get it from shopbop though. I don't think I could order directly with all the bad feedback they get!

I love the variety of the zatchels I just wish they didn't have that little tag on the front, is it possible to remove it, cut it off without destroying the bag? I'd look into them next if it's possible.
My white 11" will arrive today! Can't wait to see it.

I think that if you take a small thin scissor you can take it off without damaging the leather. The leather is thick anyway but in order to get the tag off completely you really need like a small sewing scissor which makes a pretty close and precise cut (make sure its sharpened and not dull either :).

So you're waiting on the white and the navy right? I can't wait either. The only white one I have is the zatchels that has the union jack in the front. Goes with my Mini Cooper LOL!
