"Brand new vintage satchel"...there's something a little wrong here!

So, i started college last week and in preparation i, of course, spent hours searching for the perfect bag. I wanted to go for a traditional 'old style' satchel, preferably a vintage one, but after browsing the internet for just a few minutes, i found that this was actually a more difficult task than it sounds, because the whole internet is packed to the brim with brand new 'vintage' items! I'm not sure how you feel about this but personally, i think it's such an unfair use of the term. With that said, i did have to settle for a new bag in the end, fashioned around the old style satchels - which i have no problem with, it's just the labelling of them as 'vintage' that i do have an issue with!

Here is the satchel i ended up with;














I have to say, i am chuffed to bits with it and i've even had several comments about it, as well as requests on where people can buy these beauties...my confession is - it's from ebay! Not sure how you all feel about eBay but personally,  i think it's fantastic; especially for vintage items at an affordable cost (or not so vintage in this case!)
