I tend to buy all my satchels from Accessorize, I believe when buying bags you need something that you can rely on for a long time, and Accessorize are yet to disappoint!
So, in honour of my LOVE of a good satchel, I thought I'd share a few favourites from my 2013 collection, along with their new 2014 pieces, which I can't wait to get my hands on!!
The floral:
I was kindly given this satchel for a birthday present last summer, and fell head over heels for it! I'm a sucker for anything floral, especially accessories, and this ticks all the boxes for me! I love wearing my floral satchel with bold, statement summer dresses and a blazer, or more casually with my favourite jeans, a detailed white top and some ballet flats. I've even been more daring on a few occasions and paired it with some non-floral patterned or printed trousers!
Here is Accessorize's spring/summer 2014 Botanical Richmond Satchel Bagl! With similarities in style to the above satchel, it has a lovely leafy, flowery print in a mix of soft pastel and slightly brighter colours, with gold finishes, and is very fitted and and well built. I also am a massive fan of the buckles, which are actually fastened by poppers, there's something very satisfying about popping the buckles into place, try it, you'll see! I can't I wait to buy this!
The Striped:
This nautical themed satchel was one I'd seen time and time again and I finally caved in towards the end of Summer 2013! The satchel itelf is slightly bigger than my floral rose one, and a perfect mixture of the softer stripes and brown leather look. To me this satchel screams, sandals, ice cream and lazy days at the beach, perfect for all those summer trips! My only regret is that I didn't buy it sooner! I've paired this satchel with cream and white dresses for those Summer weddings, however for beach trips or popping into town you'll usually find me wearing it with some black leggings, chunky knit cardigans and converse.
Here is a very similar one available now, which I will no doubt be ordering (it's a web exclusive) and adding to my collection some day soon (shush, don't tell anyone!). Almost identical my satchel above, it has a lovely gold clasp and stud detailing, perfectly on trend for 2014!

The leather:
Out of all my satchels this is the one I've been loving the most, it is perfect! Unfortunately, I purchased my first brown, leather satchel in 2012, and after continual use for two years, it's now gone to satchel heaven, so I don't have a picture to show you, but below is the new 2014 Leather Studded Satchel, available now. Slightly pricer than the other two satchel's I've shown, but for real leather it is such a steal! Like the floral satchel there's a front compartment/pocket, perfect for storing your phone, lipstick or other essentials!
The thing I love most about this satchel is it's versatility, I've used mine for job interviews, trips to the supermarket, running errands, coffee with friends, family parties, lectures and in my last job I was using this bag for the office on a daily basis! You can also buy this in a coral, which just happens to be my favourite colour, and perfect for summer I'm really missing my leather satchel and will be popping into Accessorize next time I'm in town to grab this one! The question is, coral or tan?!!
