September 25, 2018, Shenzhen -  Shenzhen-based e-tailing group Azoya launched UK-based vintage leather satchel brand Cambridge Satchel's Chinese language website today to meet growing demand for the latter's products in the China market. This is the next step in Cambridge Satchel's international expansion strategy, as it considers China to be a key growth market. Facing an increasingly competitive market in China, Cambridge Satchel decided to leverage Azoya's turnkey e-commerce solutions to build a localized cross-border e-commerce business.

In recent years Cambridge Satchel has seen growing demand for its coveted, Harry Potter-like leather satchel bags from both Chinese tourists in the UK and Chinese users accessing its official website. By utilizing the comprehensive Azoya Commerce solution, Cambridge Satchel's localized Chinese e-commerce site integrates order, inventory, payments, and logistics information so that Chinese customers can order products straight from the source in the UK, ensuring a seamless customer experience.

Its brand is highly unique and has a tremendous amount of potential  in the China market," noted Azoya co-founder Don Zhao.
