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

Fluoro is really 'in' at the moment but I'm not sure you'd want to use it for years to come. I have a pink satchel and I really love the colour, it's not too girly and is easy to match to your outfit. If you can afford to buy a fluoro yellow and something else when fluoro is 'out' then I would totally do that. I'd be surprised if your bag didn't last you at least 5-10 years so imo, it would be nice to have something you could use for that long without it becoming unfashionable.

I was back at Bloomingdales today and they had the gorgeous neon pink satchel. I bought it and was able to use the $25 off coupon. I think I'll return the blue one since I didn't use it yet and I don't love the color as much as the pink.

Congrats!! yay! Thats great that you got to use that coupon. I just got those myself but I think I'll stay away for now :smile1: I wanted to return the blue one too but had it in my hand and felt pretty bad so I guess I'll keep for now :cool: We must see a mod shot :woohoo:

I sort of want to keep both, but I don't know.
I'll have to use the neon pink soon so I can get pics. That one is totally gorgeous, no returning.

I just bought a pink 15" batchel today and I've gone through this whole forum looking for a picture of a pink one! If anyone has a pink one (regular pink not the fluro), do you have any pictures? Also, has the colour transferred at all? I know the red is known to, but what about pink?

I can't wait to get mine and I'll definitely be posting pictures!

i went back to bloomies today and returned my blue because i prefer the neon pink i got. they had the white today, i really like it. i may consider that one in the future in a larger size. bloomies only sells 11", and in white, which would be a neutral, i think i'd prefer larger.

Thanks! This red one is a 14 inch. I'm not extremely picky so I loveall my satchels but if you're looking for thicker leather its either Cambridge or Zatchels. Good luck!

Thanks for your input!!

I have narrowed down to either pillarbox red or cockatoo blue. Both colours are gorgeous but I can't make up my mind which one to get. Arghh.
