I want to get my first Mulberry bag, but I don't know which one is better..
sludge suede croc print or oak ostrich??
Please give me some opinion. Many thanks!!

ooh both are pretty. i'd go with oak ostrich - partly because i want one, but also because i think it mightbe easier to maintain than the suede

Oh I want both tooo!!! I really like the look of the sludge grey croc bayswater, but when I saw it in real life in the mulberry boutique it looked a bit lifeless, so I think I may get the large bayswater clutch in the sludge grey, and as for the oak ostrich bayswater!!! Well, what more can I say!!!!! Drooooooool

Oak ostrich would be my top pick, suede is so difficult to care for.

^^actually, I was told by the SA at mulberry that ostrich is equally as delicate to take care of and usuaully because of the plumes there are problems of colour transfer, especially with a colour like oak. Furthermore the ostrich bayswaters are not treated with a glossy finish as the cerise ostrich daria hobo

i would go for the emerald green croc suede bays! drool, such an amazing colour...u know on the care card the suede does'nt seem to be that delicate to take care of as long as u spray with collonil..xx

I personally don't like ostrich so I would vote for croc suede bays! I love emerald green too and the color looks fab!

I would go for the Suede too - i love the e/w bays - it is bigger than usual and a great shape...pic of Anna Wintour wearing one in the celeb thread.
