First Mulberry - taken the plunge!

[tinalem11]

So, I’ve taken a first tentative step into the world of Mulberry. I’ve bought a very old black small Bayswater (2005) and authenticated it here first. It’s gorgeous! I’ll keep it for best.
I look at the new price tags and it frightens me. I am tempted to buy another bigger one second hand…

Thank you. Me too… it’s actually a big birthday soon and my hubby went to John Lewis, so I’m wondering if I dropped enough hints!

Fingers crossed! What have you hinted for?

I have been very non-specific, but he knows I bought a very old Bayswater…. I just keep going on about the beauty and craftsmanship of Mulberry bags

Send him a link to the Mulberry sales. Lots of ‘cheap’ Bayswaters that must have been returned.

Enjoy your new bag. Definitely consider buying second hand. I often see beautiful, well cared for and almost unused mulbs for sale online. If someone fancies a change they’ll often sell their mulbs to a loving 🥰 new home and offer at great prices.

Totally agree! I've been collecting Mulberry bags for over 25 years and only 3 have been brand new out of 55+ I've owned!
I like to rehome my bags if they're no longer serving their purpose due to change of lifestyle, ill health etc but they've always been lovingly cared for and I've kept a record of them all too!!
There are always several online sites and sellers who sell very good quality Mulberry bags at fair prices, although some are better than others!!
Good to rehome something that someone else can enjoy without being too precious about it!!
Enjoy looking!

Congratulations! I only ever buy secondhand now. The older Mulberry bags are better in quality if we're being honest!
