The Cambridge Satchel Company has appointed Carine de Koenigswarter as its new chief executive and chair.
The news follows the British brand’s acquisition by French textile company Chargeurs in August.
De Koenigswarter currently heads up The Swaine Group, which is also owned by Chargeurs.
She will take over the chief executive role from Julie Deane who founded The Cambridge Satchel Company in 2008. It now has a state-of the art manufacturing facility in Leicester and also operates its own shops in London, Cambridge and Edinburgh.
De Koenigswarter said she was honoured to take the baton from Deane and to move the company to its next stage.
