New Bayswater Tote

I too would love to see modeling shots. I like the oak.

Thanks to everyone for your kind comments. So happy some of you like the tote. NY, the leather is quality leather and the ocean green translated well with this leather. It has a total leather look to it with no shiny plastic like look to it. I understand there is some concern about this with the small Bayswater but based on what I am seeing that doesn't apply to this bag. The edge painting is done in the aubergine or I should say purple color the same as the lining. The handles are flat so they are easy to wear on the shoulder. The bag can be carried close to the body. I am not certain when I will carry it because I am still thinking over the color. The color is beautiful but I have never carried bags with a great deal of color with the exception of red so I suppose I need to break my mold and enjoy this color.

Does anyone have any thoughts on what colors this bag can be carried with?

I think the ocean green is gorgeous and would go with many colours. I sense you're not 100% sure though - I feel you need to be really happy with the bag - it's a big investment so I guess you need to be certain. I love the colour though!

This bag would look great with navy or dark wash denims. Love the color, Izzy!

That's good to hear. I think it will go with loads of colours. It would be good with grey, oxblood/purple, black, neutrals, I think it will be more versatile than you think. If you changed for another colour which one would you swap for?

You are certainly correct about what the color will go with. I talked to my SA today and this is the first of the fall group but like him I think the color goes beautifully with summer colors as well. I have decided to keep the ocean green. Someone I know purchased the oxblood and she said it is beautiful in that color. Thanks for your help!

Omg I love that style. It is a must have. Based on the information on this bag, it seems to be in the middle of the Neverfull mm and gm. That's perfect ❤️ Was planning buying the Neverfull azur, but now I'm unsure. Maybe I should have this one in oak? Would love to see some modelling photos.

Based on my old Neverfull which has been passed on to my niece, your comparison thoughts are correct. One thing I failed to mention is the inside pocket. Perfect for iPhone 7 plus due to its size and another item or so. It snaps out for convenience which is a real positive for me. Next week when I have time I will put work items in it to see how well it holds everything.

This is a lovely bag-it reminds me a bit in style of the Dorset tote, but much sturdier. May I ask where this is made?

I look forward to seeing future colors in this style!

So glad you are keeping the bag, it's really gorgeous!

I purchased the new tote in ocean green and it arrived today. Here are some pictures. I posted these same pictures on another thread with some comments. It is light weight, easy to carry and I think just a very successful design of a great tote. I like the suede lining and the color is unusual but good with the ocean green. For me, the bag is a winner. Most importantly, the leather of my bag is nice quality.

Great review, the last year not much Mulberry that I liked. But I like your tote. The colour looks lovely on your pictures, better then on the website.

For those of you in the US, the pre-sale is going on now and the sale is public on Wednesday.

FYI, some modelling shots of the Bays tote have just been added on Mulberry.com - looks so nice!

Izzy48, how do you think the weight of your new tote compares to the original Bays?

I will try to do the at for you later on today if I feel better. Our family has had a stomach virus which has lasted for several days but today I am some better. If I don't get to it I will try to do one tomorrow. If anyone else has purchased on please do a modeling shot since several people have asked for one.

There is no comparison to the weight of a Bayswater and this tote. I cannot carry heavy bags so I have sold or given away all of my larger bags. Since I still need a tote, my SA told me this would work perfectly for me and he is spot on correct. It probably weighs about a pound and a half. I loaded it last night to see what it would hold and I took pictures this morning. In addition, I put several things on top of it to test its strength to see if it would keep its shape and it did. The leather is as thick as my Chloe Hudson and the Gucci bags I have so I am happy with the quality. It is also completely different from the Bayswater tote most of us like and it is much lighter weight than that bag as well. The inside pocket holds my keys, iPhone 6 and iPod and there is still additional space so it easily holds an iPhone 7 plus. The last pics show what all I am carrying and with all of this it will hold a 13" Mac but that would be heavy contents.

I hope you and your family are feeling better - thank you so much for your great photos and reviews of the tote Izzy48. It's really helpful and i'm keen to purchase one very soon. I think it's a great everyday bag and it's reassuring to know that the leather is nice and thick and that it seems to hold quite a lot! My next dilemma is what colour, oxblood or oak??

I think they all are nice colors so it is a hard decision. Thanks!

Here are two pics with the tote on my shoulder. Just remember that you all are a lot younger, slimmer and prettier so it will look better on you! Sorry about the quality of the pictures.
