Chances are you were forced to wear a satchel at some point in the past, while you longed to rock up at school toting the latest high street "it-bag". Now those days are gone, we all seem to want to indulge in a spot of nostalgic masochism by adopting the sensible style all over again. Perhaps Alexa Chung is to blame? Who knows...but we're certainly not complaining about the charming interpretations of schoolgirl style that designers are dreaming up.
