The Cambridge Satchel Company Regular Satchel
Last week I previewed the fluorescent satchels from The Cambridge Satchel Company, this week is all about the satchels and batchels in regular colours. Even more affordable than their fluorescent counterparts, Doorstep Luxury is officially taking pre-orders now for all 8 colours (Black, Green, Navy, Pink, Purple, Red, Yellow, Vintage Brown) in sizes 11″, 13″, 14″ and 15″. Prices start at SGD170 for the 11″, all the way to SGD200 for the 15″.
If you want a satchel with a handle, then check out the batchel, which is also available in all 8 colours but only in one size, the 15″. Retailing for a little bit more (SGD220), this is great if you want to carry the bag in your hand sometimes, as opposed to carrying it over your shoulder all the time.
Last but not least, we’ve got the multi-colour batchels in 14″ and priced at SGD280. Available in 3 different colour combinations, they are Green with Blue trim, Purple with Yellow trim and Vintage Brown with Navy trim. There is another size for the batchel, the 15″ in Brown with Brown trim (SGD300), which is also my favourite of the lot. One more thing. If you own a 13″ MacBook Pro, it will fit best in the 15″ satchel (or batchel).
So many options, at low low prices. Do remember that shipping is free for orders in Singapore, and Doorstep Luxury is still offering 5% off all the listed prices if you pre-order now at their Facebook fan page. Go!

YOU SHOULD SEE: TCSC Fluorescent Satchel
I just ordered mine, and 2 more for the girls in the office! So seamless and fast!
I’ve ordered 3!!! its crazy!
You too? LOL! What did you get?
if i am not the woman who lives in her shoes, i will probably be living in my bags! bought the 13″ mustard! so excited!
my boyfriend’s sure to kill me this month when all my bags arrive! (FB)
are the prices cheaper than those in england? i am going in june, so wondering whether i should get it at doorstep luxury or when i get to england.
The prices are pretty close, so it is really up to you where you want to get it from.
Does the 13″ fit A4 sheets? Or would the 14″ be better?
Most definitely 14″ dear.
Would the 14″ be too long for girls though!
This is my question too! would a 14″ be too big (or long, horizontally) for a girl? I’m kinda on the thin side, about 1.65m!
Hesitant about ordering because I’m just not sure how the sizing works in real life.
I think the 13″ will suit you best. It will be more proportionate given your height in my honest opinion.
Gotcha’! Thanks BB, for always being so helpful and willing to answer your readers’ queries!
is the purple in the lilac tone or the harsher and darker purple for 15″ batchel?
I don’t really get your question. The one in Purple is definitely darker, closer to what you see in this post. The colour is not light if that is what you mean.
oh, cause the colour is actually a much darker purple, and quite a big difference in the shade. just wanna make sure before i make the purchase.
I just got my 15″ batchel in Red from TCSC today with embossing on it. Awesome bag. It took 1.5 weeks to arrive after my order.
i ordered the 14′ vintage brown. yikes! (FB)
bb, the bags are kinda boxy and looks rather masculine. so fill me in. can a guy carry and pull it off? thanks.
LOL! Haven’t you just answered your own question? Classic satchels like these were originally used by English schoolboys if I’m not wrong.
I am torn between the bright colors and the safe ones… yellow, or brown… help?
Hmm. Tough one, since like you mentioned, one is bright, the other is safe. Personally I love the one in Yellow, happy and warm, like sunshine.
Hi BB, I like the style of the bag. Just wondering if the bag is very boxy/stiff… if you get what I mean. How is the leather? Thanks.
The leather is stiff and hard, but well-finished which means it is smooth to the touch.
Oh one more thing, does the 11″ fit an iPad in a sleeve/case?
The 11″ is too small for the iPad, 13″ is better.
glad that i didn’t give in last week to the fluoro colours on impulse!
just ordered 4! one for me, 3 for family… cant wait!
What did you get exactly? Share!
got the 13″ red for myself, 15″ black batchel for my husband, 15″ vintage brown batchel and satchel for my bro and his gf.
had a hard time deciding between red and yellow… maybe next time!
I’ve ordered 15” navy batchel for myself and the 15” brown on brown batchel for hubby. Soooo excited!
Btw, BB, do u know what kind of leather the bags are made of? Thanks!
Congrats again! If I am not wrong, it is made of regular cowhide.
Anyone know if the 13″ will fit a macbook (not pro)? I’m very skinny so want the smallest bag that will accommodate a macbook. Thanks!
Don’t think so. Get the 14″ instead dude.
Are the straps detachable? Doesn’t seem to say on the site. They’ll make a nice man clutch if so!
No they are not, but you can tuck them in. Still this only works best if you get the 14″ or 15″ sizes.
anymore available? i cant find it on doorstep luxury!
Hi! just want to know how to open the bag? need to unbuckle it or it has magnetic closure at the back of the buckles.Thanks!
Yes, you need to manually buckle and unbuckle it to access the bag, no magnetic closures for this design.
Hi! I’m trying to decide between a 13″ and 14″ satchel – I’m a 1.7m girl. What would you recommend? I’m also trying to choose between red and vintage brown but it’s a really tough choice! Thanks!
Hi! Is the 14” satchel too long/big for a 1.6m girl? Thanks!!
It could be… try the 13″ instead?
Hi BB! Was wondering if there will be any difference between ordering from Doorstep Luxury and direct from the website, I’m hoping to get the embossed version and can’t seem to find anything on Doorstep Luxury to indicate that the service is offered. Thanks!
DSL does offer embossing, guess you should either drop them an email or contact them on their Facebook fan page.
Will check with them about this. Thanks! Can’t wait to get one!
Hi! I was just wondering, if a 13″ satchell could fit new 13″ macbook air in? Thank you.
hi andrea! satchels are good bags to carry laptops, have you got your cambridge satchel yet?
Where is the store I can buy the satchel in Singapore? Thank you!
In Singapore, check out either Cumulus at Wheelock Place or Doorstep Luxury online.
Hi BB! I was wondering if you would know whether the 15″ satchel can fit the Macbook Pro 15″? Am hoping to get one soon. Thanks!
Hi BB, need your kind advise as to which colour of the satchel I should get.
I’ve been torn between 3 colours as of now and they’re all ASOS limited editions. They are the 13″ lemon satchel, the 14″ pink metallic satchel and the 13″ lilac metallic satchel.
I’m looking for a colour that will coordinate well with my outfits and I’m usually in safe colours of black and white.
Starting to experiment with red, blue and green as well. Which colour would you advise? I’m leaning towards the 13″ lemon satchel. Appreciate your help as I’ve been thinking about this for days!
I generally avoid anything metallic as I feel they are more trend-driven, which means it will come and go.
If I had to pick just one, it will be the one in Lemon then.
Thank you for your advice. Much appreciated. Just wondering, out of all the coloured satchels in the regular range, which would you go for? By the way, do you reckon lemon (under the ASOS range) or yellow is a nicer colour?
