The satchel is the bag of the season, but why go for the plain tan leather style when there are many different looks in the shops.

The satchel has been the bag of choice in fashion circles since last year and still the school bag charm is winning through as it is a key look for Spring and Summer.

Carried by the likes of style icon Alexa Chung, the satchel of choice used to be the traditional brown style, but now the shops have gone satchel crazy by bringing out different colours and styles.

Life Matters loves this mock croc satchel from New Look. The black patent trim gives the bag a bit of a revamp for those that love their bling.

Mock croc satchel, �24.99, New Look.
