This is an awesome bag because it seems to be an exact replica of a 1940s English school satchel. So cool. So full of history!

This bag was featured prominently in the film An Education, which I thought was pretty bad though I agreed with everyone that the outfits in it were great.

One of my favorite fashion bloggers, Lulu Letty, who loves old fashioned menswear inspired looks has been wearing this bag in almost all her recent outfits.

Well if that doesn’t inspire you…how about imagining Harry Potter himself carrying a bag like this. Hermione’s books would never fit in it. Well….

What think you of this vintage inspired look? I guess it can be from the 40s or the 1960s (the time when An Education was set) and beyond.
