Eyeing up a Cambridge satchel Co backpack second hand on Gumtree, can anyone tell me do they think this is genuine? I've never seen one saying "University of Cambridge" on it but maybe from an old line? It does seem to say Cambridge satchel co on the back.

Im not accistomed to spending a lot of money on bags so want to make sure im not being fleeced!
Thanks!

The one I have has the logo in silver on the back rather than embossed. Also the stitching is wonky on that one. But I don’t know whether it is just an old version or a fake.

It looks like there was a University of Cambridge crossover collection, so it could be genuine. Can't say for sure though:

How much are you going to pay for it? I'd have said it was genuine but a collab with the university.

Have you looked on Vinted? There's some really good deals on them there. I've got an old Cambridge Satchel and would recommend them, it's not really worn with use at all, very well made & sturdy.
