this is gorgeous!!! I looooove Mulberry. Is it more oxblood or wine-colored?

Ohmigosh! I’ve never seen anything like that! Wow!

Gorgeous color!

Hahaha! Yes, the Drag is Box, Rouge H. :heart:
After much deliberation, I decided to bring the BBK and the Coach Dinky.
The K because it can be both dressy and casual - I have both a leather and wide black canvas strap so I can carry it crossbody, and by the handle to dinners. The Dinky because i like having another option, and it will be great for the Louvre tour because it’s small and light And if it’s not too cold, we’ll walk back to the hotel - a long walk with a lightweight purse!
I’m also bringing 2 140 moussies (Tourbillon and Della Cavalleria), my new Jungle Love, and a Sabina Savage 135 cashmere shawl.

Thank goodness! :heart:

Oh - the chunky heel ankle strap shoe are the ones I’m taking.
Talking to Mr Cookie last night, he asked “Will you catch the heel in the cracks between cobblestones?” :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:... Oy - the chunky heel wins!
(I have done that so many times!)

oh phew! Have a great trip! (The suspense was killing me!)

All excellent choices. (The cobblestones win every time.) Looking forward to PICTURES!! As yet I don't have any Sabina Savage, but her stuff is so pretty and tempting!

I've been away for a bit, in terms of participation. What's the current monthly challenge?

Also finally took the effort to put a bag up for sale. I've been deflecting a bunch of lowball offers. Who in their right mind thinks somebody's going to sell a $600 bag (in absolutely perfect condition) to them for $70? I actually laughed when I saw the offer. I have it priced for half off now, but if it doesn't sell for a while, will start to go down in price. Soon will post a few more of my bags gathering dust. I want to cull my collection a bit, so I can enjoy more the bags I use and not have to worry about the ones I have sitting in their dustbags.

I think you and I have traded notes in a Mulberry thread some years ago about the lovely Double Zip. I consigned mine a year or two ago due to its weight and strain on my wrists (goatskin leather) but I really missed it. I just lucked out into a secondhand one in NVT leather. Mulberry makes great bags.

That Pheasant Green color is beautiful!

Yes, I remember that conversation! Was your double zip the full size, or the small one? I’m so glad you found a replacement.
I adore the color of the Alexa... such a perfect shade of dark green... but the bag itself is heavy if I’m carrying it for long periods of time. I’m considering getting a replacement strap for it; that may help distribute the weight better. I had good luck with an Etsy seller, so I may see if she has something to match it.

I have a few Mulberrys. I have found the brand reasonably priced RELATIVE to some other premier brands for the same look and feel.

Small Zipped Bayswater in Oxblood. A favorite!

Camden in Dune color. Leather is so ‘fragrant’! The bag is easy to carry.

Leighton in Black. I normally carry her by the shoulder using a Massaccesi strap I ordered specifically for her. But in this photo the bag has the original straps.

I love Mulberry! I have a wallet (just retired), leather bracelet and wool scarves.

No Miu Miu for me. I have Tory Burch shoes (my go to brand for shoes nowadays) but no bags.

This super low balling happens to me fairly often . Sometimes I counter at a higher then I would counter somebody with a fair offer other times I simply decline it. I have had a super low baller comeback and offer a reasonable amount and it went. She then gave me a great rating so you just never know. I am still fairly new to this type of thing though.
