Do you mind showing a pic of your macbook air inside? I wanna know how snugly it fits cuz I have a michael kors sleeve for mine and i was hoping the 13" would provide enough room!
I have the 14" satchel in oxblood. I got it in September and have been using it daily everywhere I go. I love the bag, it is large enough for my essentials and also prevents me from carrying too much rubbish that I don't need. The straps on the buckle is wearing out tho, and I'm thinking of getting the leather satchel one which allows the buckle to be customised to a magnetic snap closure instead.
I wanted a Cambridge satchel for a while but after reading about the long delivery time (6 weeks was quoted at that time Nov 2012) and poor customer service I decided to go with the leather satchel company. The bag arrived within a week & after over a year of use it has held up really well. You get a 5 year guarantee too which is a bonus.

Does anyone have issues with these bags scratching? I just ordered 2 and want to know the best way to protect the leather. I plan on using them as everyday bags.
I'm sorry no one answered your question ElephanyGirl
It depends on from which company and which leather you picked
I was waiting for someone with 'normal' leather to answer you
I have a metallic silver Cambridge SC, and yes it does scratch but there's nothing to me done with metallic. However, I bargained for that when I bought it and look forward to it looking as cut-up as an Olympic ice rink after the finals
I finally picked up a satchel on clearance - a 14" oxblood batchel with a removable shoulder strap. It was on sale for having a messed up blind stamp. There was a sale section at the back of the Lamb Street store in London. I'm going to see if there's any anything I can do to make it less obvious. I'm already looking at smaller versions.
No issues here. My daughter uses hers for school everyday foe the last 2 years. We regularly use leather conditioner and warmer proof protectant spray on it. Still looks pretty dang good.
This thread was very helpful to me. I didn't know what to buy - I did get a used Zatchels satchel but it was far too heavy for its size (very thick, stiff leather) so I ended up ordering a customized satchel from the Leather Satchel Company.
The Leather Satchel Company's customer service was superb; I forgot to add one customization to my order but I emailed them and it was no trouble to add a note to the order, and they didn't even charge me any extra money (it was just a small thing). My satchel was shipped to me via DHL within a couple of weeks. It is just what I wanted. Great quality leather, great workmanship, and no reason to think this satchel won't last me a lifetime if I take care of it.

I'm currently lemming over this navy/pink one... is it a cop-out that it comes with the magnetic buttons instead of the normal buckle closure?

Has anyone tried Zatchels? Actually am eyeing the saddle bag there too

Okay. I like these people. Not only do they deliver fast and are great to deal with (as you say), they have a page dedicated to Malala Yousafzai. Fashion with a social conscience; good combination.
