Recognize her? No? Look a little closer. Isn't there something just a teeny bit familiar? That boxy shape, those front pockets...ah, you get it now. Yes, our girl Roxanne has gone punk. I almost said goth, but those studs are definitely punk rock. What happened to her, you ask? Well, Ms. Mulberry here has been hanging out with Giles Deacon, who decided to give her a little makeover. He got his hands on some of her friends too, and come springtime, there will be a whole gaggle of Giles-influenced Mulberry girls. Now, do we like Roxy's new look? Let's see. The initial shock is none too pleasant, I suppose. Is that patent leather the Mulberry Roxanne by Giles is wearing all over her body? And studs placed right on the nipples? And gold AND silver hardware? Why this is madness, I say, what were her parents doing? But then the shock dies down. Okay, she certainly isn't her old self and this look is anything but classic - but it's a phase! Can't she go through a rebellious phase? It's even a little refreshing to see her dressed up like this, even a little...cute. This Roxanne can play with a whole new crowd of girls, a crowd that will be almost entirely distinct from the crowd she used to play with. But maybe some of her old friends will stay royal. After all, blue jeans and a simple tee don't clash with her new style at all. Sure she's over the top, but let the girl have some fun! Pre-order her to take for a spin at Luisaviaroma for 1150 Euros. She may not be your BFF, but hanging out with her will make you feel dangerous - and for us four-figure-purse-toting gals, that feeling sure is fun.

Oh goodness, um, hmmmm.

Did Giles do the hardware on the new B-bags? Is this the Roxi-aga like we had the Mu-dith (Muse/Edith Bowler)?

Janet Jackson inspired nipple shields?

Definitely not my kind of Roxanne but perhaps she'll have her niche, especially after the end of season sales.

i love mulberry bags but this one is so not my type. it looks cheap.

Summer Breeze · Jan 27th, 2007, 02:37 PM

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little. This bag looks like it should be sold at Hot Topic!

cutestmomever · Jan 27th, 2007, 07:19 PM

Too expensive !! But good blog daughter!!

Danica · Jan 27th, 2007, 08:46 PM

ew, its pretty ugly.

SonyaPhi · Jan 27th, 2007, 09:04 PM

It's okay But I wouldn't spend that much on a bag unless I REALLY LOVED it!!!

fashiondiva82 · Jan 28th, 2007, 06:37 PM

I think the hardware is too heavy for this bag. It should be sofend up a bit. And also the bag itself is not so functional. It is very hard to get in and out of.

My eyes just keep zipping all over from one thing to another--too much detail for me.

I have the Roxane in Chocolate Brown and I love it ... but this one does not inspire me

sarajane · Mar 1st, 2007, 09:19 AM

I absolutely hate it. Looks like cheap plastic and what a horrible interpretation of the Roxanne. Yuk, yuk, yuk.

Plain_Jane_Too · Mar 1st, 2007, 01:24 PM

ruining a good thing

why do they do this? those who loves Mulberry loves it for its classiness not "ho-ness"

shallot · Mar 2nd, 2007, 01:27 AM

I'm not sure about this one. I love the style of the Roxanne, but the studs and the patent. Maybe it's just the photo. I've never been a fan of patent leather in photos - it always looks too shiny. I think it would be a fun bag to wear with jeans and a tee.

karo · Mar 3rd, 2007, 07:10 AM

Not my style, just definitely not for me.
