Cambridge Satchel opens store in heart of historic Bath
Since being acquired by French textiles giant Charguers, Cambridge Satchel has been ramping up its store opening plans and its latest debut is in Bath for its fourth opening this year. The made-in-Britain leather goods company, has opened in the Roman-meets-Georgian city that has an affluent local population as well as being an international tourist magnet and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It's on Bath's New Bond Street, which is known for its Georgian architecture and mix of both commercial and residential spaces. Its new home is a four-storey Georgian townhouse, with two floors of dedicated retail space spanning 67 square metres. Under the creative direction of CEO Carine De Koenigswarter, the interior was developed by Atelier A&D, with a brief to reflect the craftsmanship of the Cambridge Satchel brand. The company said it's focused on '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'. The same tones are used in custom low units and wall cases. And a focal feature wall made from walnut panelling is enhanced by a large-format lightbox to provide a centrepiece. The storefront has been 'thoughtfully redesigned and repainted to match the interior's soft palette'. A dark bronze sign is a key feature of the updated façade, while the display window features handmade dark bronze wire metal cubes. These bespoke elements, made in Sheffield from local steel, 'introduce a subtle touch of industrial luxury'.

Cambridge Satchel parent company secures 100 million euros in new financing
Compagnie Chargeurs Invest, the parent company of Cambridge Satchel, Swaine and Nativa, has said that it has raised 108 million euros in financing as it continues into a new strategic chapter. The French firm had already secured a 75 million euro loan in December 2024, following a year that was 'marked by strong cash generation and very solid performance from its asset portfolio', chairman and chief executive officer, Michaël Fribourg, said in a release. This latest financing comes in the form of a syndicated loan with competitive financial terms and long maturity, backed by four financial institutions, as well as new renewable bilateral credit lines with Arkéa Banque and Bpifrance. Compagnie said that with this, the finance firms have 'thus reaffirmed their commitment' to supporting the company 'in the deployment of its new strategic trajectory'. 'With their support, the group will be able to focus its resources on accelerating the creation of sustainable value,' it added. Fribourg said the company intended to pursue a 'dynamic management strategy for its asset portfolio in the coming years' as it looks to 'globally enhance the competitive advantages of our high-growth global champions'. He added: 'The strong demand for the group's signature reflects the long-term attractivity of our business model and the financial strength of the Compagnie, which owns high-quality assets with significant financial and intrinsic value.' In 2024, Compagnie, which operates across nearly 100 countries, reported revenues of 729.6 million euros, an 11.9 percent uptick on the year prior on a reported basis. The company's operating profit, meanwhile, rose 113.3 percent to 38.6 million euros.
