Hi all,

You may remember I asked you in a poll last week to help me decide which oak Bays to get - NVT, Printed, or Union Jack. Well I collected her from Stratford on Saturday, but which one was it...!

I'm guessing Union Jack??

Ahh!! Show us!!

Union Jack?

A bit of back ground first. Some of you may remember that I had a bit of nightmare when I sent off my Mabel for an inking repair. She had a couple of trips to the repairs department and when she returned for the second time, there was a huge mark on the back of the bag.

I sent her back and was told that she was damaged beyond repair As they had no replacement for me as Mabel is discontinued, I was allowed vouchers to choose a replacement, hence my new Bays!

Love the story....now let's see the bag!!.....

Nice swanky new packaging

Getting her undressed!

Ta Da!

I know that some of you really dislike the Union Jack, but I really couldn't resist it, especially as in my head I have this down as a "freebie"! I also absolutely adore the grain of the leather on this one. I did have a look at all 3 options in store and this was definitely the best of all of them in terms of leather quality

Apparently only around 300 were made and they have very few left across the company (I actually couldn't get this from .com, as they had none in the Warehouse due to them being shipped out to the stores).

I was initially a bit put off by the plate not having the Mulberry logo above the postman's lock, but on inspection, the logo is actually on the pins holding the plate in place, so that made me pretty happy!

I guess many will have this down as a bag for tourists, but I just think it will always remind me of a pretty great time in Britain!

couple of mod pics, to finish off. Thanks for your help with the poll ladies! The Union Jack did actually come out on top!

Fabulous and congrats! Glad we helped you decide.

Lovely UJ Bays in all her glory....congrats!!

Beautiful Bays, great choice and I love the union jack twist! Enjoy :)

Thank you!! I hope I made the right choice :-)
