The bag itself is an antique gold - a rich and warm shade of gold. I'm trying to post a pic but here is a link to the Spencer bag on the Mulberry website.

Ooo,Tara has an antique Mabel,she can give you some advice on the color for wear etc,I'm sure she'll be by before too long,I'm not sure if they do it on the bay tho?xxxxxxxxxx I'm sure Sarajane or Jo may know,or Kroquet have you seen this on the bay in your travels??xxxx Or if any other of the ladies has been in a Mulberry store recently??xx
I think the antique gold is new for 2008 as I've not seen it. Have seen the metallic bronze which I loved but it is not particularly durable so you do have to be careful with these bags. I sling mine around too much.
Ditab has the bronze Emmy or Alana I think and I know she said it is a great colour. Would love to see the antique gold IRL.
Stefy - I've got a choc/oak Soho and it's a brilliant style. Love the new red, just wish it wasn't ostrich!
Sarajane, thanks for the info on the metallic bronze. I noticed that the leather for these bags is "soft tumbled" leather so I'm hoping it will be more durable.
On an informative note,I did find a Collonil spray especially for metallics,it was in Jones the Bootmakers,as I dont have any metallic bags it does'nt really apply to me,so I did'nt really give it much thought. I'm not sure how it protects metallics,maybe puts a light coating over it so it does'nt get excessivly worn?
Sorry Tara,I sould have mentioned this two weeks ago when I found it,might be good for your mabel?
