Booked

While book shelves may be this blog's primary obsession, let's not forget that sometimes we need to carry our books with us. But why be pedestrian and use an ordinary backpack? These traditional satchels and bags are low-key alternatives. And so very British. Where do you stow your books?

This classic black leather Cambridge Satchel bag is the same one we gave to our daughter.

Here it is in classic tanned brown leather from Tom Brown. 

You can have any of their bags monogrammed.

Same bag, by Tom Brown, in Apple Green. These are the trendy versions, 

even in neon, that are so popular.

Here's Brooklyn Industries' modern waxed canvas version.

Reminds me of an old-school mail carrier bag:  from Brook Farm General Store. 

Probably my favorite.

And for those who need to hide their treasures while at boarding school,

including the rare first edition Harry Potter,

here's Tom Brown's traditional trunk in navy.
