Hello fashionistas,
I recently purchased my first love Mulberry, a Butter Alexa, and have been scrolling through the forums for a while looking for feedback on the Alexa and in particular, reactions to the colour. I haven't found too much, and having been searching for awhile now. I was first struck by the elegance and the graciousness of the Butter, and discovered Mulberry with this handbag alone.
I love the Alexa design and have always felt that the Alexa looks better in lighter colours. I also love the nude leather plonge Alexa, while the Oak is a classic and IMO the darkest I would go (though even still I find that the Oak can look a little intimidating and serious for the type of bag it really is).
I am absolutely in love with my Butter Alexa, and have never received as many stares and loud compliments as when I wear her. She seems to dress me up and complement whatever I wear.
This thread may be a little retro now as Mulberry have informed me that Butter is finished now as a summer 2010 colour, but here are my questions:
- how has your Butter Alexa aged? (leather grain, colour transfer, patina)
- how do you accessorise the Butter? (what colour wallet, purse, style)
- has the quality of the Butter Alexa been consistent with that of other Alexa colours?
- any colour transfer issues? Has she been prone to scratches or dirt?
- does the Butter dress you up or do you need to accessorise and match your wardrobe well? and
- what contrasting or complementary colours do you wear the Butter Alexa with (blue jeans, etc)
I'll post some photos when I work out how to do it properly. Hoping to hear from you!
