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!

Wow, glad I found this thread! My daughter has been lusting after one of these for school but full price out of the question! Can anyone suggest whether 16" or 17" is best, she has a lot of books, often packed lunch etc is the handle strong enough or going to end up cutting her in half with all that weight.

CointreauVersial · 21/04/2013 00:32

Yummum, I've a feeling the sale ended at midnight. ...

JamEyelid · 21/04/2013 00:37

Yumm I don't know as I only have 13" but here is a size guide www.zatchels.com/what-size-satchel.html Sale ends at 5pm Sunday now.

yummumto3girls · 21/04/2013 00:55

Thanks jam and Cointreau - still have til tomorrow to spend!! It's just what size that's big enough but not too big!

shelley72 · 21/04/2013 06:40

ok i have been thinking of a satchel as a changing bag alternative for a while now. this is too tempting...

i like the idea of something bright. maybe red? red polka dot (too mr tumble??). any other ideas? or should i get a safer colour?

i wear a lot of navy, white, grey, red so something to go with those kinds of things i guess. have to go out today so need to decide soon!!!

DigWeedSow · 21/04/2013 06:58

Thanks OP for the heads up, I've been lusting after one of these for a while and have ordered 11.5in pewter satchel, can't wait for it to arrive!

pinkpolkadot · 21/04/2013 06:59

I have been coveting one of these for ages, just gone for the 13" orange satchel from the classic collection, thanks for the tip!

What are the inside of the saddle bags like? Lined? Pockets? Or is everything jumbled together? I am guessing no external pockets..

BikingViking · 21/04/2013 07:43

Have slept on it and still can't decide on colour - am now very much leaning towards the red. Those who have it in red - what sort of red is it in real life? it's looks a bit orangey on the website?

And am also considering the pewter one. Have ditched the idea of the black or the graphite

Theonlyoneiknow · 21/04/2013 07:44

Went for a cornflower blue satchel 13" and a green and yellow saddlebags (intention being to return one ....... )

Sheila · 21/04/2013 08:07

Just bought the 13" classic in red for next winter, and cream for the summer. A really timely post as I'd been circling one of these for weeks. I am a very happy shopper Grin

Theonlyoneiknow · 21/04/2013 08:25

Oh no! I hadnt thought about Cream! Its lovely

BikingViking · 21/04/2013 08:31

Got the red in 13" - another very happy shopper Grin

Sheila · 21/04/2013 08:38

Yep Theonly - the cream does look gorgeous although I was torn between that and the baby blue for the summer.

ohforfoxsake · 21/04/2013 08:50

Red here too. Grin

Barbabeau · 21/04/2013 08:55

Really wish I hadn't checked S&B today. I'd been thinking about getting one of these for ages. Got a 16 inch one for work purposes.

BikingViking · 21/04/2013 09:01

Now I just need to find a new purse to fit my new bag Wink

LivinItSmall · 21/04/2013 09:08

Thank you for this. DP has just bought my birthday present... Grin

CareerGirl01 · 21/04/2013 09:10

Bought the 17.5 inch metallic gold classic satchel! Only £75! Posted thread couple of weeks back debating whether to buy one of these or a changing bag (am 37 weeks pg with DD2). So I've followed mumsnet advice and using the freebie Boots changing bag as an insert - and can take out and give to DH/DM/DS or whoever looks after DD2 (though that's not going to be for a few weeks). Have needed a new bag for five years; since DD1 was born. Hurrah! Sale is still on today too.

Nagoo · 21/04/2013 09:18

DH has bought my birthday present too LivinIt Grin he's not vven out of bed yet Wink

Pewter satchel 13 inch :)

I bought me a green barrel bag since he was paying the postage Grin

GypsyFloss · 21/04/2013 09:28

Bugger, I'm now contemplating the pewter 16" satchel...

Nagoo · 21/04/2013 09:38

oh and shelley72 get Red. you'll feel awesome with a red bag.

OrlaKiely · 21/04/2013 09:39

They are very pretty but I'm put off by the leather being so stiff IIRC

I like a soft bag I can root around in, I hate hard leather.

Very difficult not to order when everyone else is though! Smile I like the pink elephant one.
