Help me choose which colour Mulberry handbag!

[getmeout12]

I'm treating myself and I'm unsure which colour to go for in the Mulberry Zipper Bayswater.

I was between Black (classic!), tan (more versatile?) or oxblood (lovely, but is it all year round colour).

Second opinions very welcome! 🙂🙂

I have an oxblood and hardly ever use it. 😳 Maybe the tan?

Tan would be the most versatile - it would work year-round and can be paired with black, navy, white etc etc

I think the oxblood would be the best choice, it goes with everything and it's fine all year round. I have an oxblood Strathberry that I use a lot.

Disclaimer: I don't do black or tan bags, when it comes to handbags I'm all about colour.

I have a tan and a black bayswater- not zipped. I use the tan about a million times more than the black.

My oxblood mulberry is my most used bag. It’s as versatile as black or tan with my wardrobe and more interesting.

Another vote for oxblood, it’s a great colour.

Which Strathberry do you have @DramaAlpaca ? I have a midi tote in Pearl grey which I love.

Sorry to derail thread OP!

I like the oxblood. I usually have a burgundy watch strap because it goes with everything - a bag in that colour would be great!

I’d go tan. Personally I wouldn’t wear Oxblood accessories in the spring or summer, it’s a very autumnal colour.

@bendmeoverbackwards I am the proud owner of five gorgeous Strathberrys! The oxblood one is the midi tote mock croc.

Actually I think you're the poster I have to thank for my Strathberry obsession after you posted about them a while back. I love their understated look.

Sorry again for the derail, OP.

Tan is most versatile.

I’ve heard mulberry may be discontinuing the oxblood colour, so if you like it may be worth getting this while it’s still in stock.

I have an oxblood Tessa hobo and it goes with everything, I didn’t expect it but it’s a brilliant colour of bag.

One without a lock. I have two and both keys have come loose and fallen off. It's has happened to others as well. Pain in the arse as it has to be sent back to the factory which costs a bloody fortune - annoying when it's clearly a design fault.

I've got an oxblood zipped Bayswater and I use it daily. I find it goes with most things. The only time I think about a different colour is in the height of summer, when I think about a yellow or red would be nice, but I still pull out the old faithful oxblood

I have an oxblood Alexa and it goes with everything. It is quite an autumnal colour, but it looks great with any outfit. So, my vote is for the oxblood.

How lovely to be able to treat yourself.

With an investment piece I’d stick to the classic black. Goes with everything. For me tan is more spring summer but also lovely.

In my days pre DS I bought a few designer bags and still use them. The ones I use are black and navy. I bought a Chloe pale one in a sale once and hardly use it as the colour is not so versatile

I have an oxblood mulberry & love it in the autumn & winter, but It doesn't go with my summer clothes.

I've got 2 mulberry, tan and black. I think the tan is more versatile and goes with more things. I am really hankering after an oxblood mulberry daria. So I would go oxblood or tan, not black.

Oxblood goes with everything. Tan and black do not.

I have a number of them including 2 different green, a mink, a black but 3 different Oxblood ones of varying sizes and they are definitely the most versatile

I personally love tan for bags. Mulberry is changing the name/shade of Oxblood to Black Cherry.

I have a black Bayswater, I wish I’d got the tan. The black went with my lifestyle at the time (dark suits, working in London), but doesn’t work with my more casual workplace now, whereas a tan would be a little less formal and work more now.

think what you’d use it for, what colour coats you have etc.

I like the oxblood but as pp have said it depends on what you usually wear.

I got a Bayswater for my 40th and chose purple as I knew it would be the only mulberry I ever got and wanted an interesting colour. So I may not be the best person to ask

I have an oxblood mini kite and it really is a lovely colour, so I'd chose se it over black every time. Both are winter colours to me anyway.
In your particular bag, I do think the oxblood looks nicer.

i have Oxblood. Would definitely choose again, no question about it! Nice to add a bit of colour.

I think the most versatile would probably be the tan because it would go with light or dark outfits.
