Ever since we saw one on Alexa Chung's arm, we want one! The Satchel bag is THE bag of the season, and it's almost impossible to escape it, because it's everywhere! Every shops has recreated its own version, the one everyone copies being of course the now famous Mulberry Alexa. But you don't have to spend this much to have a cool messenger bag. You can find a perfectly fine one in garage sales, for example! Vintage satchels are even prettier, with their used leather... Look at our members to see what to wear your satchel with!

"I love wearing a satchel because it is so classic. It adds the perfect amount of chic to any look!"

Beth

Very edgy, the black lipstick mathing the satchel!

"I bought this satchel from eBay about 3 years ago and have worn it on and off ever since. Every time I use it I always have people complimenting me on it and asking me where I got it from. It's pretty old and worn out but I love that because it adds to its charm. I much prefer old and battered then shiny and new.
The satchel to me will always be a classic and versatile bag that can take you from day to night and be worn with any outfit."

"I love vintage clothes, and my satchel bag I found in a second-hand store. The bag is like the icing on the cake, the whole outfit is quite simple so the bag makes it not boring. Satchel Bags remind me of the old school time!"

"Satchel bags are so comfortable! I love the big ones that have also a long strap so you can wear them across the body. This is probably my favourite one because of its purple colour!"

"First of all I think it's a very back to school outfit. I think the blazer, the socks and the satchel bag remind of a school uniform, but a cool school uniform. And by adding the red floral dress I´m making it a bit more colourful and playful. Each piece of this outfit is important cause they all add a little something to the whole ensemble. But obviously the satchel bag will be one of the first items to catch your attention. I think I can say it's my favourite bag. I love this kind of bag cause it's got the perfect size, not too big not too small, and it's the best choice for going to uni or to work. You can fit all your stuff in it and at the same time look very smart and trendy."

"This satchel used to belong to my boyfriend. Once i saw it, I immediately fell in love with it. Like every girl I have so many bags, but this satchel bag is my favorite for everyday life. It's very stylish. As you can see, this satchel bag is not only for boys!"
