OK, coming rather late to the party. Here is my sale purchase - the ink patent leather Bayswater clutch. The cat's name is Pummie.
This bag and I have a slightly rocky relationship. The way its flap sits when it's not sufficiently full is a bit funny. The dark leather is very smart-looking, but I fear it's a bit too conservative for someone my age. I prefer it to the coral leopard print which I have rehomed, but it looks as office-appropriate as a pair of sensible flats. Also, the degree to which the patent leather picks up fingerprints and smudges is a pain. That doesn't seem to be the case with my purple patent Bays.
That said, it is beautiful, classic, useful and the silver hardware is a bonus. I tried tying on a scarf to make it look a bit more funky and that has helped.
Thoughts, Mulberry ladies?
