The Cambridge Satchel Company has unveiled its second exclusive collection with Wicked in collaboration with Universal Pictures’ Wicked: For Good, celebrating the upcoming cinematic finale set for release on November 21, 2025. Building on the success of the first collaboration, this collection reimagines the spirit of Oz through refined craftsmanship and storytelling design.
Inspired by Wicked’s iconic witches, Glinda and Elphaba, the range features highlights such as the 'Grimmerie Bag,' influenced by Elphaba’s spell book and crafted from textured split leather with intricate detailing, and 'Glinda’s Bubble Bag,' a pink statement piece accented with whimsical charm.
The 'Emerald City Series' on the other hand, introduces metallic green finishes on classic silhouettes like the 'Mini Sophie,' while the 'Friendship Capsule' unites Glinda’s pink and Elphaba’s green to symbolize balance and connection. Together, these pieces celebrate artistry, duality, and enduring friendship through timeless British design.
