How funny - I'm quietly coveting a vanilla Roxanne at the moment, too. They're currently £416 at the outlets but I'm assuming they'll go down to £297 at some point. I was thinking about whether I could send it to Mulberry to get the straps lengthened... I know they'd charge for it but it would be worth it if I had the flexibility to carry the bag on my shoulder. Alternatively, my replacement canvas strap should be arriving soon and I would definitely use that with a Roxanne - the colour would go really nicely with vanilla, too. It's just whether I can live with the denim stains that are bound to occur

Anyway, I digress.

Gorgeous Mulberry family, SJ. I really like the contrast of all the colours - but also your congo collection is cool, too

The choc Hanover is divine but it's got to be a light coloured bag. My collection looks so two dimensional - it's either dark or bright. It's useful to take pics like that tho, as it's the first time I've realised I'm missing a pale, neutral bag.
I'm liking the idea of a vanilla Brooke.

I was wondering what was going on - I couldn't find your post! My last one just took ages to post so ours must have crossed.

Now vanilla Roxy with longer straps - that's a great idea! It's not the right bag for me - all those buckles - but I think vanilla is def the way to go. Vanilla Alana would also be an option, might get back on the phone & see what Shepton has in vanilla. Promised myself I won't buy without seeing IRL so would have to have a little trip down there.

The vanilla Annie is lovely. Maybe you could be tempted now that you know the correct way to carry a shoulder bag

TropicalGal · Mar 13th, 2008, 10:53 AM

Sarajane -- tell me about your Alana. Size? Shoulder bag or hand carry? When do you use? Do you love it? Thinking about one for me. Thinking I'm going to look into Vanilla at Bicester...

No Annie is not for me. I can't get on with the straps. It was the same with Phoebe & that's why she had to leave home! If I can get a bag with a single strap, I will!

TG - PM'd you!
