Zatchels flash sale

Zatchels are having a 24 hour 50% off sale tomorrow. It's advertised on their Facebook page. I'm tempted but don't know whether to go for a classic colour (probably the navy) or one of the metallics. Has anyone ordered from them and could you recommend a colour? Thanks!

I have their elephant brown cross body bag and it's fab. Brown is great because it looks lovely the more you wear it. If not brown I'd go metallic or neon?!

topsi · 19/04/2013 17:53

yes metalic bronze barrel bag ooo I want!!

Lighthousekeeping · 19/04/2013 18:18

Are they big enough for school?

JamEyelid · 19/04/2013 18:26

I have a 13" Cambridge satchel and it is not big enough for schoolwork (at least not a4)

www.zatchels.com/what-size-satchel.html this shows what you get in each one.

I might get a chestnut one for autumn. Thanks OP Smile

Lighthousekeeping · 19/04/2013 18:29

Before I spend. Are the worth it? Are they strong?

HandsofaCrone · 19/04/2013 18:35

Gah I have to buy one now Angry

I really want a pastel coloured one - pale pink or purple - but it will get filthy immediately and I'll probably think it's hideous in 2 months' time. A cobalt blue one would be nice... I think I'll go for red though, much more practical and classic.

Curse you.

I have a lovely chestnut saddle bag- it looks really smart but...it's so small inside as the leather is so stiff I can literally only fit my purse, keys and phone ( minus it's cover) so if you are going to get the saddlebag go large!!

GypsyFloss · 19/04/2013 19:41

I like the look of the pewter saddle bag but can't work out if it is shiny or matte; the left photo looks shiny but the other one doesn't Confused

landofsoapandglory · 19/04/2013 19:46

I need one! I've been hankering after a satchel for ages, but have just bought a new bag.

I can't decide between red and navy, saddle bag or satchel!

I want a satchel but may have to get a barrel bag too. With the discount it would be rude not to. Trouble is, the barrel bags do look very small, I'm not sure how much use I'd get out of it.

I've got a navy Zatchel, it's such a lovely navy, very matte. The leather is quite stiff and the buckles a little annoying to undo so I tend to save it for going out when I don't have DS with me

PlumBear · 19/04/2013 22:04

Just returned a neon pink saddle bag yesterday (£5 postage-ouch). Bag was beautiful but just too... Neon Confused DH hated it on sight Grin The bags themselves are great quality, and at that price I'd definitely go for it, but choose a more wearable colour if u can

GypsyFloss · 20/04/2013 08:30

Just ordered the large pewter saddle bag :)

Annianni · 20/04/2013 08:36

Me too Gypsy.

Thanks op :)

poorbuthappy · 20/04/2013 08:50

And I've just made my neighbours day by sending him the link for his wife's birthday next week.

topsi · 20/04/2013 09:16

Just ordered the classic satchel in orange!! Damn you MN!!

TheBuskersDog · 20/04/2013 09:30

What size satchel do most people go for, am thinking probably 13" but for just a few £s more can get 14.5" but I don't need a briefcase just a decent sized handbag.

YoniMontana · 20/04/2013 09:42

I just ordered a 13" pewter classic satchel. Thanks mumsnet!

YoniMontana · 20/04/2013 09:43

It shows you the sizes on the site Busker. The 13" holds an ipad which is perfect for me. I also googled images so I could see them worn.

Katz · 20/04/2013 09:58

What colour to go for? I want one which will go with everything or black or dark brown?

AuntieMaggie · 20/04/2013 10:00

I'm having the same problem Katz Confused but also don't know whether to get a saddle bag or satchel

bigTillyMint · 20/04/2013 10:11

Just ordered a 16" baby blue one!

HazeltheMcWitch · 20/04/2013 10:22

Ooh, thanks OP. I may need a satchel AND a saddle bag too. Now, the question for me also is... which colours ?

Blanketsandpillows · 20/04/2013 10:35

I love these bags! Would one be suitable as a changing bag if I got an insert-thing?

MakeTeaNotWar · 20/04/2013 11:16

I ordered the yellow 16" satchel bag excited!
