Glad you have found and are enjoying mulberry. I have coach and mulberry too. I can see what you mean about the leather. Mulberry leather is thicker and the hard wear runs smoother. However, I do love Coach too. I tend to get my fun coloured or shaped pieces from Coach in their sales and stick to more classic styles from Mulberry to ensure I use them sufficiently for the price.

I like some of the newer designs. Although most of my bags are preJC and I love the original tree postman’s lock. It’s just much more substantial. I have a Seaton and mini Amberley with the new Ryder’s lock and I do like them.
I’d love to see the tree back more and hope they appoint a great designer when all this craziness is over. Perhaps people will be tempted back if they see new but classic designs with that great Mulberry DNA and quality.
Same! Classic oaks, the SBS, Ledbury, Bayswater, Piccadilly and Lily will never fall out of style for me. But no new ones are entering the building. I keep my classics and then I have some fun with Kate Spade ( the bright red Secret Admirer cross body is beautiful).
Ordered a black Bayswater. Waiting for it to arrive! It will be my first mulberry.
Is Mulberry in financial trouble? The two stores they had in Canada have closed. I'm a late comer to Mulbery and I've really impressed by their bags. Great value for the design and quality. LV and Gucci have gotten so expensive these last few years, I just don't think most of their bags are worth it.
I am searching and searching for this answer too, just bought a Bayswater from 2007 that looks, smells and feels great but the disc is attached to the other side of the bag, at the buckles. Is tehre anybody who seen this before? Hoping that it´s authentic.
Hi SweedieBelle and Welcome!
remainsilly's advice holds true: if you're concerned, best to post it to the authentication thread on here. Quite simple to do and then they can take a look for you. Aspects of Mulberry's design have evolved, so it's best to leave it to the experts if you would like reassurance. Here's the link you need and good luck!

I’m not sure if it’s the best place to post this, but although I’ve owned a couple of Bayswaters, I’ve wanted an Alexa for years! Managed to snap one up for a bargain price as it wasn’t in the best state, so I decided to work on it as a project. It’s not perfect, but I’m really happy with the results and love using it! It just seems like such a classic to me even now.
I’ve got a before and after pic here, and the effect the Brasso had on the hardware - so satisfying!

You’ve done a great job! How are you finding her to carry? I’ve got the nubuck fox lock oversized Alexa and I need to use a liner to stop everything ending up in a puddle in the middle!
Thank you! Just wanted to check since other brands date stamps usually mean week/year of production.
I hope so but I think they will wait until Black Friday rather than other shops.
