Primark Satchel Dupe Steals The Show

Primark has recently brought out a line of Cambridge Satchel dupes which are amazingly similar to the originals but at a tenth of the price. At £82 or more, the leather satchels from the Cambridge Satchel Company come in a lovely, supple leather. The Primark bags cost only £9 (or £5 if you got it on sale like me), which just can't be beaten. The material is noticeably plastic, but I don't find this to be drawback because it doesn't actually detract from the whole look of the bag.

Like the Cambridge Satchels, the Primark satchels come with a front window and a smaller pocket at the front, as well as a zip pocket inside the main compartment. The faux buckles on the front come with silver hardware and close using magnetic poppers, making it easier and faster to open and close this bag compared to the original Cambridge Satchels. The bag includes a small handle on top, or a shoulder strap that is actually not uncomfortable, although the holes in it do wear and stretch over time.

At 15'', this satchel is perfect for laptops or tablets and can fit a lot in it - I personally use mine mostly for university and it can hold all of my notes and books, plus my tablet.
All in all, this is a really good bag especially for such a low price, and it's one of the best Cambridge Satchel dupes that I've seen.
