Recently I was in Singapore for the weekend, and chanced upon a shop selling leather goods and luggages. What caught my eye was the “50% off!” sign on all Cambridge Satchel Company bags in-store! My excitement was growing when it burst into delight – I laid my eyes on a beautiful 11″ black batchel (named so because of its top handle)! The reason why I was so excited was because I have been eyeing the 11″ satchel with a top handle which increases its functionality as a clutch. Best bit was having it off at 50% cheaper too as the store was making way for new stock. As a fan of personalisation and because gold hardware works amazing against a black canvas, I did a DIY revamp on my satchel! Read below for my pictorial tutorial on how to do so.

Steps: 1. Mark where you would like your studs to be. 2. Choose a hole size on your hole puncher. The hole should be big enough for the screw to fit through. 3. Press hard! In my case, I had to get the help of the males to assist me in punching the holes using the hole punchers. 4. Screw the studs into the holes you have just made.
I also placed studs on the strap besides the front flap to give an edgier look.
Voila! Enjoy your personalised Cambridge Satchel with a little gold hardware.
