University Satchel That’s Too Cool For School

Send Your Child Off To University In Style With A Satchel That’s Too Cool For School

TAURANGA, Thursday 13th November 2014: Leather satchels in eye-popping colours are a hot fashion item right now and the perfect gift for your child as they head off to university this summer.

Thick As Thieves’ collection of handmade leather satchels for both men and women also make an ideal graduation present for young adults embarking on a new career.

These British-style beauties are available in a wide range of bright colours including limited edition ‘Otago blue’ and ‘Christchurch red’.

Thick As Thieves’ Creative Director, Stacey Jones, says satchels are still trending massively in Europe and are a stylish way to carry laptops, iPads and study notes around campus.

“Satchels feature in the majority of handbag looks being presented by Bottega Veneta and Christian Dior this season. Bright colours are especially popular and can be worn both casually and as part of a more professional look.”

Jones still remembers carrying her study books around Oxford University in a battered, vintage satchel. She launched Thick As Thieves after being unable to find a quality leather satchel here in New Zealand.

“The brand name is this idea that we have these amazing and enduring relationships with bags, just like old friends. Your bag is with you through thick and thin and a great one (like a best friend) will go on an adventure with you.’’

Thick As Thieves is the first New Zealand company to create their own range of classic British-style satchels, and these timeless bags come in two different sizes – 13 inch (RRP $229) and 15 inch (RRP $259).

Each sleek, stylish satchel is and their versatility means they will be well used throughout their university, professional and family lives.

“Thick As Thieves’ satchels are a unique gift to mark a special time in your son or daughter’s life. They’re practical, useful and beautiful to look at – a gift they will treasure and use for a memorable time in their lives.”
