I've just been looking at other designer backpacks on NAP and I don't like any of them either, so Mulberry - it's not just you!
It is true that this season everyone starts to do backpacks...Starting from Chanel, then Stella McCartney...and maybe some more but I can't remember tho. Backpacks and sneakers.
Honestly, when I saw the Cara bags I was just disappointed at THIS collection. But after reading all your posts regarding the pr problem, that was when I ask myself if I should move on to some other brands.
