...and nearly fainted!!
After my little whingefest on the Chat thread, I wanted to share this little tidbit with you. Having just visited my hometown in rural Germany, I went to a local shop (it's really three shops all by the same owner) who sells Mulberry. In the past I only ever had a wee look not really knowing my Mulberries and not really being able to comment on prices, desirability etc...
Well, imagine my surprise to see that they had a massive stock of old and new Mulberries, bags that you can only get second hand - if you're lucky - these days.
Apparently they cannot shift the older stock but had hardly anything reduced. One of the shops had chocolate Eustons reduced down to EUR 400 minus a further 30% which brought it down to EUR 280 - unbelieveable. Oak Kenya Jayde and other, smaller bags in kenya leather. One that looked like a smaller Martha. They also had Emmys, Alanas and Mollies in choc and oak, various Mabels (black and black metallic), Roxys and Bays in choc and oak - some of them darwin!!! A choc Ivy Bays - which I would have immediately bought if it hadn't been so pricey. And, the piece de resistance, an oak Effie! Brandnew! Only things was, the inking job on it was atrocious. They were asking EUR 580 for it and when I enquired about a discount she more or less immediately offered it for EUR 480. That wasn't even 20% and I'm glad I didn't buy it. However, I reckon it will still be knocking around at my next visit, hopefully at the end of October. Does anyone know how much these bags went for originally? I'll try and offer an amount for it and see whether they go for it. They must have had it knocking around the shop for years!
BTW, first time someone commented on one of my Mulberry bags. SA was smitten with my ticking Bays....
