Hi! I have the black/nickel bays and just love it but my Alexa is my favorite Mulberry. What's your favorite Mulberry? The one in your avatar is a beauty! Totally agree with you about Kate Spade. I think part of the reason I like Mulberry bags is because they are rare where I live. What is the most popular handbag where you live? It is so funny how we get into different handbag brands
Hi Designerhbgirl! Sadly, I had to return my black/nickel Bays when she arrived, faulty, from mytheresa.com. The grainy leather was gorgeous, but they'd rammed her into a tiny box, folding the handles right down, and the padlock and inking on the handles had gouged deep grooves into the leather of the bag ...
As regards a favourite Mulberry, my avatar Womble is special because she was a gift from my late godmother and a totally gorgeous bag! Unfortunately, I rarely get the chance to use her as the sheepskin isn't exactly practical in our Autumn weather - but the interior is sooo cuddly! I love the (now discontinued) Mabel style, with her zipped central section and two slide pockets either side, and am currently using my Small Bayswater Satchel (particularly my oak lady) a lot. I don't carry my Lexy girls as often as I should - and Teddy hasn't even had her first outing yet, despite my buying her at the end of May!
Around here, I see a lot of ladies carrying Radley bags, LK Bennett or Kipling. You do see the occasional Mulberry, Burberry or LV, and sometimes a Coach, but it's pretty rural and you'd need to venture into a city to find the more "high end" range being worn. When I went to London last summer, I was in Mulberry-spotting Heaven - I think my DH was worried at how adept our DDs were at identifying them, too!
