Just saw this bag in a gorgeous color blue. I don’t own any Mulberry’s yet-this would be my first. Would love to hear what those of you who own this bag think.
Thanks
Thanks

I have the hobo version of the Iris and I really like it. The leather is substantial but not stiff - reminds me of Hermes clemence leather a bit. The design is nice, nothing annoying in the functionality. And it comes in some beautiful colors.
I can’t speak about functionality or durability of the Iris but i have a one in solid grey that occasionally comes out of its dust bag for a sniff (!!) I absolutely love the smell and feel of heavy grain leather. I’m not entirely sure it’s my style to be truthful as I am more of a cross body or shoulder bag girl but I really do love it. You can wear the Iris cross body but it’s a touch on the chunky side for me personally.
Is the Iris you found pale slate? If so, it’s such a beautiful colour. Or perhaps cornflower blue which is just as pretty!

I am also interested in the usability of Iris and the new Islington. Is single handle better or worse than two handles? Islington has a divider in the middle, so that may be more restrictive than Iris in terms of what fits in the bag. Please share your experience!
I have a small Iris in a coral (orangey) red. It’s amazing quality leather and I love how much I can squeeze into it. I get my phone, a medium purse/wallet, a small brolly and a make up bag inside easily. I would say due to its softer design it’s more of an everyday bag. The option to swap the handles is a nice feature but choose your colour combo carefully. I have coral and blue handle but ended up buying a coral and chalk colour which felt more neutral. If it’s your first mulberry maybe consider the medium Lily as well. It holds a lot but could work as a going out as well as an everyday bag. It’s got a gorgeous chain which to me seems a bit dressier.
I'm not sure if you purchased it eventually, but for reference, I have the small Iris and I used to have a few medium lilies. The medium lilies are dressier imo, when carried over the shoulder, but they are heavier bcuz of the metal chain.
I have the small iris in an LE colour and it's very bright, so I don't carry it often, but it's a nice little bag. The handles are interchangeable, I believe, which gives me less stress about just holding it cuz I know I can eventually swap it out

Please add photos and vital statistics of your bag in the appropriate Mulberry Clubhouse Thread so that we can continue to build up a really useful and informative reference resource.
There are also some bag threads in the Mulberry Reference library so if your bag is not in the Clubhouse, it may be there instead. Otherwise, a new specific thread can be started, preferably in the Clubhouse thread.
Thank you!
