London Fashion Week: Satchels

LG60The first round of the famous London Fashion Week has recently passed and among all the new clothing and shoe designs, there was one accessory that dominated the runway yet again: the satchel. Once regarded as an unfashionable shoulder bag that was designed to hold your school books and pens, the satchel has more recently been transformed into a must-have and can be found on the high street in a huge variety of colours and materials for both men and women.

Satchels have been around for so long that they’re even mentioned in a monologue that William Shakespeare wrote in his play As You Like It in the early part of the 17th century. In the 1980s, action hero Indiana Jones often carried one with him and they’re also an essential piece of kit for the steampunk enthusiast.

LG61Alchemy Empire has several satchel-inspired bags, including the more compact Captainette Purse [LG61], which is made from a vintage effect cotton canvas and leather with an adjustable strap. The Aviator Pouch [LG60] is a more masculine design that can be worn either on a belt or on the shoulder – both pieces have enough room for the essentials such as your wallet, keys, mobile phone and pens.
