Have a couple I bought 5-6 years ago, I wonder if they're still in fashion?

Do you like them? If so they're in fashion with you.

LatteLatteLatte · 18/10/2021 18:56

My vote is they are due a comeback. I had a beautiful one in 2013. I loved it. Haven't seen anyone using them for a while but they might have transcended to the classic/timeless item category?

Where will you use it? Work/out and about?

EllieSattler · 18/10/2021 18:56

I have a black one and still use it all the time.

Karwomannghia · 18/10/2021 19:00

I was Googling mini satchels the other day, I fancy a small black one.

I think they're stylish rather than fashionable. As they should be given their cost and quality.

xksismybestletter · 18/10/2021 19:13

I really want one. In bottle green and big enough for a surface 3, if you have one for sale?

covetingthepreciousthings · 18/10/2021 19:17

I think they've fallen into the timeless category now, I have one and use it regardless of whether it's fashionable.

Have you looked on Vinted, usually some good bargains on them.

Their Cloud bag is absolutely beautiful. I’ve been buying them up on eBay for a bargain. Look very Mulberry.

VillKrill · 18/10/2021 20:42

They’re pretty classic I’d say. If you like them, wear them!

mrssmiling · 19/10/2021 07:15

A friend has one - looks great. She’s very stylish. I agree that they are timeless.

slipperyeel · 19/10/2021 07:47

Classic and not subject to the vagaries of fashion!

Craftycorvid · 19/10/2021 08:45

Satchels are a classic and therefore always right.

Forestcantrun · 19/10/2021 09:04

I love them. The doctor's satchel is going to be my big purchase of the future!

Walesrecommendations · 19/10/2021 09:09

I reeeally want the doctors bag they do but its £££, even more so than their others. Also like the little bowler bag they've started doing. I think they're classic rather than fashionable.

litereally · 19/10/2021 14:15

I've used mine for six years I think now, it's just such a perfect bag, and a true design classic. I also own one of the mini Melissa collab bags which is my 'going out' satchel in the iridescent blue...I hadn't looked on the website in ages and now I want a Poppy...oh no.

mayflower21 · 21/10/2021 17:32

Thanks all. I've just been going with backpack for the past couple of years, as pretty much always going everywhere with my now toddler.
I see now, and agree that it is rather classic/timeless piece than a trendy thing

No they're not 'in fashion', but if you like yours you should wear it.
