A Pop Of Pastel.

I wasn’t having the best of days on Tuesday; we accidentally flooded the flat below at 7am, and someone out there was trying to hack my blog all morning – stressful. That afternoon, however, I took a little trip to the Cambridge Satchel Co store here in Glasgow for a Valentine’s treat…

The lovely team gifted me one of their beautiful bags, and I got a tour of the new Glasgow store, which sits in Royal Exchange Square. I had a hard time choosing, but as soon as I spied this new mint Push Lock bag (£95), I was smitten. I have to admit, it was tempting to go for a classic satchel, or even a neutral hue of the Push Lock, but I told myself that I have a whole lot of black bags, and nothing as cheerful as this pastel purse.

The bag is just beautiful; it’s sturdy and holds a fair amount, but also has a day-to-night feel about it as you can remove the straps to carry it as a clutch. Although it isn’t a famous satchel, I can still see that handcrafted charm that the brand breathe in to their designs – the stitching and flawless leather finish are immaculately done.

I also got a cute heart embossed in to my bag, which the brand are offering for free with all purchases up until tomorrow – and that’s in store and online. I wasn’t sure if I wanted a heart on mine as I’m pretty low-key when it comes to these things, but as soon as I saw it done on one of the other bags, I was sold on the idea. As it sits off to the side, it’s just so adorable and really adds a lovely touch.

I’ll be pairing this with all of my outfits, from winter right through to summer. It’s the perfect everyday bag, and the right size for all occasions.

What do you think of the new Push Lock design?
