Well I did decide to give the satchel a try, I got the blue one today at Bloomingdales. I'll check out the music bags, thanks for the suggestion!
Here she is ladies...I picked her up from Bloomies today

i think this is the same one I got at Bloomingdales. Did you get it on Long Island? I saw you mentioned you went to that Bloomies. I got mine at Roosevelt Field.
I like the color a lot. The one I chose had a lot of 'fraying' around the edges. At first I didn't like that, but when I compared all the ones they had, even one from the back, that one looked perfect to me, more rustic.
The SA told me if it gets too frayed, to take a nail file to it. I do not think I will ever do that, I'll just let it fray as it will.
Is it strange that I fell in a deep love when I saw your satchel? The color is A-DO-RA-BLE! I'm doubting whether to get the 11" or the 13", could you maybe do a picture with the satchel on?

Actually I was there but didn't buy it there. This one is from the White Plains bloomies. I haven't been back so I don't know if that sales was temporary or just for that store...not sure
Not sure I will ever buy a 11". I have a 15" batchel and a 14" regular one. My next purchase will probably be another 14" or maybe a 13" in red or yellow (not fluoro).
My 15" is amazing for college as I can fit a 13" macbook, textbooks, water bottle, glasses etc. The 14" comfortably fits a water bottle, glasses, large purse, a book and snack, but it hasn't been fully stretched out yet. I just can't imagine ever fitting what I need into a 11" because of my need for taking a drink everywhere and glasses and a huge purse.
Also, on another note, I saw a large lady wearing a 11" and it looked badly out of proportion on her. I personally like my satchels to look quite big, the 'traditional school satchel' size.

Okay I'm in a dilemma. I have been wanting a Cambridge Satchel for a few years now, and at the moment I really need a new school bag. So, now I have decided that I want a 13", but not sure which color and that's when you guys step in! I am doubting between the "classic" pink or the "fluor" yellow (below).
End of August this year I will be moving to Paris to continue my studies there. And I want an appropriate color for it. What would be a nicer color? And which color would last the longest (in trends I mean). Please help me from my sufferings, I'm counting on you guys haha. x

Personally I prefer the pink out of those 2 but I really quite like the look of the normal yellow, I saw someone carrying one the other day and it looked great! I wouldn't buy yellow for me but it looks great on others. I personally don't like any of the fluro colours at all, I know they've been popular but I really can't see the appeal so it would be pink for me out of the 2 you've suggested.
Hi Bag Lover, thanks for sharing your pictures and information! I am considering buying a neon green batchel 14' from Bohemia, mainly because i dont have time to wait for CSC and they only have 15' batchels. I was wondering, do you think Bohemia has a inferior color/material? I saw all your posts and you mentioned that Bohemia has a thinner leather materials. But do you feel overall feel and construct, or any other aspect, is inferior to CSC? If you can give some other specifics on the differences, that would be really awesome. I really appeciate your help!
Hi, the only two things I really think they differ in, without getting too technical, is like I said the leather thickness and also the stitching. Cambridge is in the lead but I don't like the fact that it takes all that time to make them. All of the ones I've purchased are from others theirs reselling on Ebay, otherwise, I would not own any since I have no patience to wait. Good luck!
As much as I love the fluros its not a practical everyday bag. For winter I would go with black, blue or navy for everyday and for the lighter weather months I would go with the pink.
Ah i c what you mean, thanks for the info and first person experience, appreciate it
