can anyone advise me as to how i find out how much a bag is worth? i found a bag at a resell store and its a collaboration...from Bottletop/Mulberry. I believe it to be authentic and of the original releases from 2002, at least thats what the pictures i have found online lead me to believe. But beyond that i really cant find much more information.

:) Thanks!

Its worth what someone will pay..there have been a lot of these on ebay and a lot of fakes..an acquired taste..unlikely to fetch much imo

Welcome to the Mulberry forum :smile1:

The bottle top bag (and charity) was the brainchild of Roger Saul's (founder of Mulberry company) son, and was an idea to help create employment in Uganda. The link below gives you more detail:

As Elvis says, a bag is what the buyer is willing to pay. There were some of these auctioned by celebs a few years back, but a sad fact of our times is they were copied and the original altruistic intention was subsequently lost.

Hope that helps?

Yes - ive seen the knock offs of the newer versions...and all the articles. But i havent really seen any of the original bags like i have found. I was curious if there was an auction site specifically for these types of collectibles. it looks like the picture might not have posted? could you see it? thats the exact type of bag. its numbered. you can smell the quality of the leather. its not like the pull top bags at all. ill keep scouring ebay i guess. thanks for your input! :)

Yes, your attachment is visible and as Elvis advised, this has been widely copied.
As far as I'm aware, the only specific collectible auctions are at Christies and are for Hermés and occasional Chanels:

otherwise local auction houses or the inevitable fleabay. I really don't think this is as desirable as you might consider, but wish you the best of luck with it.

The bottle top bags were in the outlets a few years after they were made, and they weren't expensive to purchase as I believe they were quite subjective. I have rarely seen them sell in the public domain however so establishing a resale price would be difficult, and would largely be down to guesstimation.

Thanks! Makes me upset :-(.
Is there are some manual or list of signs to identify Mulberry fakes.

Best to go to the authentication section to check them out before you buy. Sadly I'm a geek and can spot certain fakes through design, finishing etc. But then I've been collecting and using Mulberrys for a long while now. I also own a real Roxanne so it's easily to tell a fake when you have a real one in front of you. NPN have some Roxys at the moment if you want to find a real one.

I hope you didn't she'll out a fortune on this one though. Sorry.
