[EachandEveryone]

Different ones all under a grand https://www.tkmaxx.com/uk/en/womens-early-access/c/88000301?st=&sort=publishedDate-desc&facets=stockLevelStatus:inStock&page=0&utm_source=db&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=TKBAU_FY25_WK0013_EARLYACCESS_LOYALTY_NA_1&spMailingID=49707612&spUserID=Nzc5NzAyMDg4MTMS1&spJobID=2683351361&spReportId=MjY4MzM1MTM2MQS2

I think it could be.. I saw an article this week in the guardian saying their share value down by about 60% I think it was.. v slow sales. Their spokesperson was blaming luxury shopping slow down but that isn’t really being felt by the main big brands.. my gut on mulberry is that they’re not current enough now and I don’t think creatively they can match up to their competition

I think the styles are very dull. The two in the OP's post just look dated.
The one in the Guardian just looks ugly.

I think those are aimed at the Far East market. I can’t see western women being tempted - or at least only very young ones.

I like the Miffy bags personally.
and I’m not very young 😂

I got a beautiful condition mulberry bag for £7 in a charity shop last week. It's real, I've got some ones brought in store. Still beaming.

@Shannith great find! Post a pic!

Here you go

And a coach one

Agree. Who are they trying to kid that they’re not just using up pieces of scrap leather?

£400 in 2004 is the same as approx £800 today so you still spent a lot of money on a bag

Same! I got a Bayswater for £495 back in about 2009. The same bag is £995 now.

Personally I think it was a mistake to move away from classic, well-made leather bags into the high fashion market with ugly designs, colours and price tags.

It’s not really fair to make comparisons with 15 years ago. What hasn’t doubled in price in that time?

I was surprised to see that their shoe section now seems to just be one pair of trainers in different colours. A few years ago they had really interesting shoes.

I bought an Alexa from Mulberry's own website for the same price a few months ago. Not in an official sale, just a random discount on specific colours. So they're not massively devalued by being in TK Maxx.

I found a Gold Pfeil in a charity shop a while back. Wrong colour, wrong style, wrong size, but the leather was out of this world - the craftsmanship was unbelievable. I bought it for £3 just to ward me (by touching this Gold Pfeil and looking at the seams and stitching) off buying these monstrously overpriced parodies of bags, i.e. Chanel, Mulberry, YSL, etc. And also, £999 for a Chinese-made bag? Seriously?

I collect Mulberry bags. However I only buy made in England. Some are now made in Turkey. I buy mainly secondhand.
I Iove them.

If anyone has recommendations for classic, well made leather bags and goods, made in UK do let me know! I am a fan of Aspinal but they might be moving into the 'too fashioney' space .

Thanks for letting us know!

Have you received yours? Mine came and love it! Typically weather’s gone shit now though!

They were struggling years ago. I knew someone who was a supplier to them then and they insisted on COD.

Do you mean the Kilver Court outlet store which is near Bath?

When SIL got married there me and my auntie (she’s a big Mulberry fan) were excited to see what was on offer there, but they didn’t have much (they have other brands too) so I think we passed on bags.

I was bought a Mulberry bag (can’t recall name offhand) when they first became “trendy” back in 90s or maybe 00s. Then I bought one for me, but was never that sold on then, design wise.

Some people like my auntie love them but they’ve never really been me.

@Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain I buy a lot of British goods. I believe there are 37 artisans working in Somerset on the range. I'm classic dresser and nearly 60 so I don't need new designs. There was a rumour they were moving all manufacturing abroad and that will be sad. The bit I don't like is the microfiber lining in the new bags. I also think they should make a few vegan bags.

My DH bought me a Mulberry for my 40th and I think I've used it twice. It's a lovely, very well made bag. I don't find it a 'comfortable' bag if that bag if that makes sense. I prefer my Coach bag by a mile.

That has been there years. It used to be there before the Kilver Court place opened.

No. This was the store in Bath city centre. They were at the back of the shop but it was still a surprise.
