The Putty Smudge Leopard Print Bayswater.

I was so shocked to find my eyes drawn to it as soon as I walked into the store.

Straight away I tried it on and LOVED it. I never buy light coloured bags but I found myself thinking how wearable this bag would be with almost any colour.

Now I need to decide:

Do I buy it instead of a navy leopard Bays?

And do I wait for the sale or buy now?

I hope the price doesn't go up tomorrow!

Buy it instead of the navy, it will be more versatile right? Do you think you could hang on and wait for the sale? You would be taking the risk that they are still available..

I really like the putty one, you have to "own" the outfit if you're carrying a statement bag like that.

I was gonna suggest can you wait until the sale - I bet it'll be in the sale.

Tiree, how often does it happen that is it love at first sight with a bag and you?
Go for it girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Run!!!!!

I am with bagcrazy here - if it was love at 1st sight tiree, then its meant to be...

get it today and then keep it pristine unitl you are sure (can always return it if not)

IMHO I like this the best of the leopards cos it is less overt, and can go with abs anything, summer or winter alike. Also it is not wrinkled patent so is mroe waterproof and long lasting.

You are right BC, the last bag I felt was love at first sight with was my RN Bays, then I spent the next 3 weeks beating myself up for spending £650 on a bag!!!!

Tiree, we both know the indecision that usually goes with a Mulberry purchase so for you to have fallen hook, link and sinker is pretty unusual. Sod the price, go for it and enjoy it!

I think I need to think about this one and build up to it for a few days. I've found from experience that although buying all Mulberries is a delight buying brand new ones comes with a special 'high' iykwim.

Am totally loving the one I am about to reveal later

and it will be a fab bag for my work however there is something about this putty Bays which I can't quite put my finger on, not sure if I am attracted to it more because it's one I never thought was for me....does that make sense or am I babbling.

Thanks Poppy, I was wearing jeans and a black cardi today and it looked TDF. I just wish the Bays handles were a touch longer so it would fit better over a winter coat.

I also tried on a gorgeous Green coat, not sure what shade you call the Green which seems to be in all the shops. Anyway, I thought this Bays would look Fab with the Green, or would it look a bit pale?

Have 20 mins to decide whether to bid on the Navy Leopard.
