Yellow Barrel Bag
The usual guide for buying school uniforms is to choose clothes as large as you dare without your child getting absolutely lost inside. And if you find a good deal on shoes buy the next size up as well and save some money. The chances are the shoes won’t be long in their box. But there’s one part of school outfitting where mothers (and fathers) can shop at the same place for similar sizes as their children – the satchel.
Gone are the days when school satchels were just that, something you’d only use for school. Today, it’s the must-have fashion accessory even though it’s not lost any of its practicality as a school bag. Leicestershire satchel manufacturer, Zatchels has taken the classic satchel – with an optional handle as well as the strap – and made it great to look at.
There are mother and daughter sizes in the Classic and Pastel collections, all available in sizes ranging from 11.5 inches through to 16 inches. There are satchels for all seasons. The Classic Collection is based on the satchel looks of yesteryear but with a greater selection of shades, including black, brown, navy, orange and white. The Pastel Collection shouts ‘summer’ – it’s the Classic in pastel colours including cream, baby pink, violet, cornflower blue and yellow. There’s also the Kaleidoscope, a real show (or playground) stopper. It’s multi-coloured and available in a range of sizes. New to the Zatchels range is the Polka Dot collection (very summery) and the very patriotic Union Jack satchel (great all year round).
And while toddlers might be too young to manage a satchel, mum is able to take advantage of a spacious bag to carry all the necessary bits and bobs backwards and forwards from the nursery. And for the boys and fathers? Well, the Junkyard Collection is ideal and will meet the demands of work and play. The distressed leather is available in a range of soft, subtle colours, with classic nickel silver buckles and distinctive matching hand-stitching.
