I have been so disappointed with bag designs recently. Every season for the past 18 months I've been holding my breath... waiting for something that totally blows me away, a bag that I have to own or I will surely cease to exist..... and nothing .
So it got to the point where for Christmas I asked for a Vuitton Papillon 30 in monogram to add to my Vuitton collection. For my birthday earlier this month, a Mulberry Bayswater in black and the new Mulberry Bayswater pouch in black, not the new huge Bayswater Clutch (I had been looking forward to that but it was a big disappointment, didn't like the colours). And I bought myself another Chloe Paddington (medium black, grey stitching, brass hardware) last month.
In all honesty, nothing recently has ever moved heaven and earth for me like the Paddington did in 2005, and the Roxanne before that.
The only thing on my wishlist for Mother's Day is the Mulberry Bayswater in Straw with shiny gold hardware - which is thus far proving fairly difficult to source even though I'm on a couple of waiting lists.
