Victoria Leeds bags Cambridge Satchel for city debut

Victoria Leeds is set to welcome leather bag retailer Cambridge Satchel, which will make its city debut at the scheme this December.

The store will be located at 3-5 County Arcade, Victoria Quarter, joining the brand’s existing stores in Covent Garden and Cambridge.

Cambridge Satchel at Victoria Leeds will stock a range of women’s and men’s collections, including crossbody bags, satchels, handbags, tote bags, backpacks, briefcases, and trunks. The brand will also offer in-store personalisation services for customers.

The brand will join Victoria Quarter’s existing portfolio of British brands, which includes retailers such as Vivienne Westwood, Barbour, Harvey Nichols, and Penhailgon’s.

Rachel Bradburn, leasing director at Victoria Leeds, said: “Cambridge Satchel is well known for its quality, craftsmanship and clear identity but it is also a brand with real zest, a sense of fun and self-expression; a brand which is simultaneously evolving whilst embracing tradition, all qualities which reflect Victoria Quarter and Cambridge Satchel’s new home! We’re counting down the weeks until December when the store opens and our loyal visitors can enjoy this iconic brand.”

This signing follows the news that British jeweller Boodles has recommitted to Victoria Leeds by investing in a new entertainment room, known as The Rose Garden Suite, and more than doubled its trading space.
