Handbags again .... Mulberry again ...

New from Mulberry www.mulberry.com/#/storefront/c5698/4361/category/. I'm lusting after it. It doesn't matter that I can't afford it and nor have I seen it in RL, I'm drooling!! What do you think? Will it be a stayer, a good investment and is it a spring/summer/winter bag? Humour me - and ignore the price tag!!!

Gorgeous Gorgeous Gorgeous. Want one. Can't have one. Love the blueberry - that would work all year round. I def think a good investment. My Bayswater is 3 years old and everyone comments on it.

littledawley · 13/01/2010 16:13

Love it! Mulberry's oak leather really does get better with age (I have a Bayswater ), you could use it in summer or winter - buy it!!! (in fantasy land ). I like it in purple...

Heavens ... didn't even notice the blueberry ... but it might date faster than the oak. You understand why I dream of it then??

Go on, buy it! I have it in Blueberry and it's lovely although it will probably date more quickly than the Oak.

diedandgonetodevon · 13/01/2010 16:18

x-post- great minds and all that...

alarkaspree · 13/01/2010 16:18

I can't follow your link because it takes me to the US site homepage, could you kindly tell me the name of the bag so i can lust after it too?

littledawley · 13/01/2010 16:21

The thing about the colored ones though is that you LOVE them for a while, put them away and then dig them out again a few years later,
I have a Mabel in black and one in red, I have definitely used the black one more but I get more of a thrill when I use the red IYSWIM.

Millie1 · 13/01/2010 16:36

You've got it already diedandgonetodevon? Lucky you. Is it as nice as it looks? And is it huge or a good size?

Alarkaaspree, it's called the Drew Tote.

Know what you mean about the colours Littledawley but the perfect bag which I'm looking for now, is tan so as I can use it tomorrow and every day!! Just don't think I can stretch to this - DH went pale when he saw the price. Still, Christmas money, scrimp some more together, still have money from my 40th .... dreaming!

diedandgonetodevon · 13/01/2010 16:44

It's a good size but not huge. I've never had a Mulberry bag that isn't as good as it looks. This one seems to attract lots of admiring glances and you do just want to stroke it sometimes [Mulberry junkie]

TheChristmasHour · 13/01/2010 17:12

It is rather beautiful. There are some gorgeous bags this season.............

LetThemEatCake · 13/01/2010 17:15

oh my word.

That's my bag. That's the one!!

(the one I've waited my whole life for, I mean)

I'm itching to get rid of my Bayswater. You reckon they'd do a part exchange??

squeaver · 13/01/2010 17:17

Was admiring that very bag on someone at school this afternoon. Leather is lovely, but I thought rather on the large size tbh.

Wouldn't kick it out of the wardrobe, obv.

joliejolie · 13/01/2010 18:01

I am thinking about listing my Mulberry oak Mitzy hobo to buy this bag!!
It would be a worthy swap, right?

TheChristmasHour · 13/01/2010 18:35

It would be a fab bag to own Jolie. Would defo turn heads. The Alexa is pretty showstopping too. I am lusting after the Drew mini. So cute and would use it a lot.

TinaSparkles · 13/01/2010 18:38

Oh my word, I do love it. I have an Elgin tote, which I've managed to spill all sorts on. It's in Oak so it's not to bad, but if I had to upgrade I'd go for that.

carciofi · 13/01/2010 18:49

Definitely a year round, wear with everything bag! I really like it. I want the Alexa, which is already sold out on the Mulberry website. Not that I have the money yet anyway.

abra1d · 13/01/2010 18:53

I have to say I don't like Mulberry bags much: I find some of them rather school-bag like in ways.

The one you link to is nicer (IMHO) than most of them and I can see why you like it.

AngelinaJolly · 13/01/2010 19:03

I have to say it doesn't rock my world. I prefer other Mulberry bags. I'm put off by the tree cut-out buckles: just a bit too obvious IMO.

TheChristmasHour · 13/01/2010 19:25

Yes, the tree cut out is somewhat bling I agree. That said, I still love that Drew mini....

Millie1 · 13/01/2010 20:27

Yeah .... I'm not entirely mad, it is absolutely beautiful and it leaves the other bags I've hesitated over (ie. Somerset - boy, does it look dowdy ) in the shade ... now i just need to buy it!!

ChristmasHour ... where/what is the Drew mini - can't find it. Any link please?

LynetteScavo · 13/01/2010 20:34

OMG it's perfect!

But the price isn't.

LibrasBiscuitsOfFortune · 13/01/2010 20:41

Will I get lynched if I said it was a little whispers boring?

Do love the blueberry colour however.

TheChristmasHour · 13/01/2010 21:41

Drew mini in oak

Drew mini in blueberry

www.mulberry.com/?gclid=COuX0tCpop8CFR9o4wodF1rtIQ#/storefront/c5687/4368/searchresults/

Tiny, but perfect for carrying phone/card/money.

Millie1 · 13/01/2010 22:14

Nice. Very nice indeed. The blueberry is a gorgeous colour. Too small for me though ... I have an old, old black Mulberry Roseberry which is around hte same size and which I do use as my small, dressy-ish black bag. I continue to drool over the big one ...
