Bayswater Rio bag

[miffy257]

Do all Bayswater bags have brass feet on the bottom to protect from wear? Also what is the difference between a Bayswater and a Bayswater Rio. Thanks

I know not all bayswaters have 'feet' - some of the special editions don't. can't really help with the rio bayswater question. Sorry!!!!

Rio is the name of the leather. It crops up in various styles of bags - I've recently seen Antonys and Bayswaters made from rio.

sarajane I think has got most of her mulberries from shepoton mallet. there are also outlets at York, bicester and cheshire oaks. They often have bayswaters at the outlets but it's more difficult to find the regular natural leather black, oak and chocolate bayswaters there. It's often the more unusual colours or last seasons bags. They are normally £346 at the outlet but some of the special editions are £416 ( like my choco ivy bayswater)

The bayswaters in rio leather are generally retail specials; poppy is the most commonly made colour for a special in rio, and wouldn't have feet or the padlock and keys.
