Mulberry new prices

[Leedscatgirl]

Hi

Is it me or are they hiking up their prices

I am sure I paid 795 for my del ray last year and the new ones are over 1000 ?

Think it's a bit much

I noticed the oak bayswater is now £895 - that has definitely gone up by £100 in the last week or so.
I think the prices are ridiculous now. I doubt I'll ever buy another one and am seriously thinking of selling my Oak Bays as I paid considerably less than £895 for it

Yea I believe they have gone up. I think.price increases are yearly now

I cant afford them now. The next bag I had my eye on has gone up by over £100 so I'm having a rethink.

Yeh it's outta my price range now - it always kind of was but I did treat myself last year

Think people like Kate spade and Marc Jacobs look better value

I fell in love with Kate Spade bags when I was in Hong Kong years ago. Where can you buy them in the UK? I might need to revisit those lovely bags to replace my Mulberry obsession!
Which Del Rey do you have, I love the deer brown and the suede one that was in the sale.

There was an article a while back which I read saying that they are concentrating on the overseas market, especially China. They want to compete with the big luxury houses apparently.

Crazy prices now and I don't really like the designs very much anymore.

aha I've linked to it before.

And now their creative directer has left will be interesting what happens.

I paid £495 for my Bayswater five years ago.

So yes, they have, massively.

There's a large Kate Spade shop in Covent Garden.

I've been a customer for many years, and before that, my mum was a good customer too.

I have however found that the quality is becoming worse and worse, to the point of it being ridiculous. If I buy a bag around £1000, I'd want it to last more than a season.

IMO the bags aren't worth the money. And the designs are boring. Some of them even seem to be heavily inspired by other brands.

They've pretty much doubled the prices. I'll happily spend £500-£800 on a bag now and again but not £1,200 plus on a Mulberry. I really think uk customers will almost totally lose interest now unless sale reductions are vast. Lets hope Mulberry does well in Asia.....

Most designers are doing it. I bought my Chanel bag for £1400 4 years ago and it's now five pounds under £3k. Madness!! I wouldn't pay that price now.

I'm always surprised by how item prices continue to rise up, but the quality of said items, nor the workers wages ever do.

mrscb ,thanks for the link,i doubt they will find huge success in asia. LV,Chanel,and Prada,are still dominating the asian market.

almost every major brands has a price spike every year, brands like chanel and prada are very confident in their status,so no matter how much the bags cost,they will always have customers.
i cant see this happening to mulberry,the quality is not what it used to be,and most of the bags are manufactured overseas, so i think they may have lost their appeal.

Well I might have swung a Bayswater next year for my 40th, but at £500 not £900. I wouldn't pay that for it even if I could.

Yep they go up yearly! I wish I bought a bays when they were 500.

The sale is still on the Mulberry site so anyone wanting one should take a look.

The most recent bag I bought was a Marc by Marc Jacobs one which I got a very good discount on.

Mulberry and Anya are now pretty much out of my budget. £500 is as much as I'd spend as I do get bored of bags.

And if I was spending c £1k I'd want a Chloe but really the ultimate bag I want is a Bottega Veneta which at least is made by craftsman in Italy so somehow to me feels its worth more than a mublerry.
