Hehe. We clearly think alike.
I disagree with your friend though as I think Hermes deliberately wants to be a stuck up brand!! Haha, definitely with respect to the birkins and Kelly bags.


What they don't realise is that Hermes is carried so much better by lovely ladies here like ratrat and designerdiva than ANY KARDASHIAN!!!! So for better brand image they should make it easy for 'normal' people with cash to access instead of the Z listers!!
Hahahaha.

In the mean time I will grow old with my Bayswaters, used by 15 year olds and 50 year olds!

oh wow, i didn't know she was unhappy with the direction prices were going. Very interesting.

I think mulberry found an excellent market during her time with the brand, although i do understand why long-time mulberry lovers might dislike her designs compared to what came before her. But she did manage to appeal to a large demographic of women and about 4-5 years ago i think the brand had found a price range that was exactly right. Because you could absolutely afford to save up for a high quality bag, even on an average salary. And yet, they were on their way to get the coveted "luxury" stamp of approval. The balance was just right. Why not ride that wave for a few years and establish yourself in other markets? Why freak out like this?
My question is, will they have to find a completely different target market now that their prices are exploding and a new designer comes in? And what happens if guillon's calculations are wrong? They can't very well slash prices. So many issues. It will be really interesting.

I loved the blog post. I really loved the range of colours too. Although I was sensible and bought the classic colours first, the first mulberry that made my heart race was eggplant bays. Wow I just loved it. Then on to electric blue which I love and Black Forest.... The colours were amazing. Even my latest babies are beautiful, the grainy print leather just looks and feels like class :-)

Maloneyxo like you I loved the gimmicks as I have quite a playful personality. Hehe.

Thank you CPrincessUK - it's great to know you liked my blog post. Yeah, I think classics are classic, but colour makes my heart sing. That's why I think oak Lily and I will have a long relationship, but, say, the raspberry mini Alexa that I just ordered from the sale will have a more fun relationship :D
