Disappointment Experience - No Response from Customer Service

"Unfortunately, it was a very disappointing experience for me. I received my order on my May 28, 2026 and sent an email to their return department asking for a replacement because the leather on one edge of the handbag is wrinkled, bumpy, and not smooth. It is not the same as all other edges on this bag. Receiving no response, I sent a follow-up email on June 4, 2026. Still, I received no response, not even an acknowledgment that they are reviewing my request for a replacement item. This poor experience has made me feel they do not value customer service. I will have to think twice before ordering anything from Cambridge Satchel in the future."

Beautiful purse- very spacious inside

Beautiful bag but would've liked

"Beautiful bag but would've liked to see the edges of the leather sealed. Lack of feet makes her a little too fussy for daily carry. Very cute but best when carried."

— Jenn H. (4/5)

This is my fourth Cambridge

"This is my fourth Cambridge satchel handbag. I could not resist the bright colours and cheerfulness of this bag. It’s beautifully made in high quality leather and a pure joy to use!"

— Amanda G. (5/5)

Quality is desirable

"I purchased the Poppy bag online back in 2017. I received a very stiff bag and within one year of almost daily use, the embossing had faded so much it was nearly gone. The lock and clasp were also discouloured. I took it to the store were it was labeled beyond repair and I was given a brand new handbag, which had a significant softer leather. It has been in use ever since. However, I had the same issue with the lock in 2020. Customer service send me a replacement. The bag is still in use but given that the embossing is so poorly made and the clasp is rather cheap, I wouldn't purchase it again (also in 2017 I only paid 95 GBP for it."

From the states and discovered

"From the states and discovered your store in Covent Garden 2 weeks ago while in London with my daughter. She bought the pink Glinda bag and I bought this bag and another. Since we’ve been home, we’re obsessed. Just received the mini satchel with the horse. Love all your shapes and styles!"
