Cambridge Satchel, the world’s most renowned satchel brand and leading made-in- Britain leather goods company, opens in the Georgian city of Bath. The new store is the British brand’s sixth UK retail location and fourth new store in 2025, following successful launches in Windsor, Edinburgh and Paris.
Cambridge Satchel takes its signature “Defiantly British” style to an iconic retail location, New Bond Street in Bath. The elegant street, celebrated for its Georgian architecture and vibrant mix of commercial and residential spaces, lies at the heart of historic Bath, a city founded by the Romans and now designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The new Bath store occupies a four-story Georgian townhouse, offering two floors of dedicated retail space spanning 67 square metres. Under the creative direction of CEO Carine De Koenigswarter, the store’s interior is brought to life by Atelier A&D, who deliver a bold and beautiful design reflecting the craftsmanship of the Cambridge Satchel brand. It is a vision which merges contemporary elegance with subtle nods to British heritage, a hallmark of the brand’s identity.
Inspired by the local landscape, particularly the iconic Bath stone, Atelier A&D has carefully restored the once-neglected unit. The interiors feature warm, neutral tones mirroring the hues of the city’s famous stone, creating a welcoming and refined atmosphere. Serving as a sophisticated canvas for the merchandise, the same tones are used in custom low units and elegant wall cases. A focal feature wall, crafted from walnut paneling and enhanced by a large-format lightbox, provides a striking centrepiece within the store.
The Bath storefront has been thoughtfully redesigned and repainted to match the interior’s soft palette. A discreet dark bronze sign complements the updated façade, while the display window features an array of handcrafted dark bronze wire metal cubes. These bespoke elements, made in Sheffield from local steel, introduces a subtle touch of industrial luxury and provides an inventive platform for showcasing the brand’s prized accessories.
“Cambridge Satchel’s devotion to craftsmanship and made-in-the-UK is reflected in our sixth UK retail location”, states Cambridge Satchel CEO Carine De Koenigswarter. “We are thrilled to open in the historic city of Bath and this store is a key milestone in our strategic retail expansion both in the UK and internationally.”
Cambridge Satchel Bath features the entire range of women’s and men’s collections, including classic crossbody bags, satchels, handbags, tote bags, backpacks, briefcases and trunks.
