Hmmm I'm not much wiser, sorry. It looks more like calf to me, doesn't look grainy enough to be goatskin, but I'm not sure, I hope someone else chimes in! I do love the colour, it's beautiful
Thank you, Pessie! I´ll wait, then, to be sure what leather it´s made of before I do anything to her. It was the colour which got me first - perfect for dreary nippy winter days!
Hello Pimpernel, congrats for you beautiful bag. I'm sure it's not antique glacé because of the structure. It reminds me of burnt peach soft matte leather as shown in this bag here:Oops, right you are, here they are! I don´t even remember the proper colour name, whether it´s plain orange, burnt orange, coral, or pumpkin...:

But I'm not sure. ..
Hi Pimpernel - your Mabel is called orange, and the leather is refined grain.
Thank you very much, MiniMabel! Now I can find out how to treat her properly. This is such a practical, sturdy, light and fun handbag, and I wish Mulberry hadn´t discontinued it!Hi Pimpernel - your Mabel is called orange, and the leather is refined grain.
It really is spacious. It fits more than one would think. I sold mine on, so I cannot post photos, but it' s the perfect medium sized bag and also quite light. If it's your unicorn bag, go for it! You won't regret it.

Some of my slouchier Mulberry bags drive me nuts as things jumble about when I walk, so that's why I have pouches for most things now
