The satchel has made a comeback! The can be found in all shapes and sizes throughout the high street this season, and now in all colours. Say goodbye to the days of the traditional vintage brown satchel, and say hello to the new block colour satchels, which add an instant blast of colour to an outfit. I’m a massive fan of a vintage satchel, but the only drawback is they all come in various shades of browns. The satchel is reinventing itself this season with an explosion of colour. Here are my recommendations for the top 5 block colour satchels around at the moment.
Push Lock Mini Satchel – New Look
This Push Lock Mini Satchel from New Look is perfect for those of you who want a mini satchel. This block colour satchel is available in four colours – coral, yellow, pink and dark green. Priced under £10 this is perfect for those of you on a budget who want to inject some colour into your accessory wardrobe. This leather look bag comes with a pouch pocket front and long strap – to be worn across body or draped over one shoulder.
Red Leather Piped Tassel Satchel – Topshop
This large Red Leather Piped Tassel Satchel from Topshop is sure to see you through the seasons to come. Priced at £95 it’s quite expensive for a bag, but the real 100% soft leather satchel can be worked into any outfit. Block colouring is all about mixing and matching colours that traditionally shouldn’t go together, but somehow it works. This red real leather bag with brown tassels and piping can be worn over the shoulder or you can carry it like a briefcase with the hand strap.
Orange/Stone Satchel – Dorothy Perkins
Orange is everywhere this season and it’s finally found it’s way into our accessories wardrobes. The large Orange and Stone Satchel from Dorothy Perkins ticks all the boxes for block colour satchels. Priced at just £30 it’s a worthwhile investment for your summer wardrobe, but will add an instant splash of colour into your winter wardrobe. The satchel comes with a cross body strap and twist lock detail to the front.
Blue Leather Satchel – Miss Selfridge
This small Blue Leather Satchel from Miss Selfridge is an absolute Bargain. It’s 100% real leather and is priced at just £10. Total bargain!! The blue colour is keeping in line with this season’s block colour trend whilst the brown piping adds a hint of vintage appeal. Ideal for those of you who love a vintage bag but want a twist of modern inspiration to it.
Knot Flap Satchel – Very
This Knot Flap Satchel from www.very.co.uk has to be one of my favourite block colour satchels available at the moment. You may think that £55 for this bag is a little excessive but the detailing is totally worth it and it is now only £22 in the sale. It’s not too small and not too large so can easily be incorporated into your day-to-evening wardrobe. The strap is adjustable and the knotted design and tassel to the front make this bag beautiful.
The weather may be grim at the moment but summer is apparently here. Add a hint of colour to your outfit and pretend that the sun is shining! What do you think of the modern twist on what is otherwise a vintage fashion accessory? Will you purchase any of these or stick with vintage brown?
