this is MY mulberry tree, a mulberry bayswater (yes, the design house is called mulberry. it is particularly popular in europe, england to be specific, but i think this design house has been infiltrating the american market pretty effectively. it's definitely not as popular as many of the other brands that i usually talk about, but it's getting notice). i won't be eating it and then shoot silk threads out of my ass, but i would be so super excited to get one of their bags for my bagdrobe. the bayswater pictured below is the iconic mulberry shape (though i think it's a bit like a hermes kelly shape):
another very iconic detail about mulberry is the hardware. i LOVE it! i think it's the cutest detail ever and i think the lock is called a "mailman lock." don't quote me on the name of the lock style though. do you see a little mulberry tree engraving on top? so cute!
i've been jocking this brand for a LONG time too, though i haven't made a peep about it because i was chanel, balenciaga, and bottega veneta derailed for such a long time. i recently saw someone toting a FABULOUS mulberry (not the bayswater) and it reminded me how much i dig it too. i should have asked her what style bag it was so at least i can hunt for it even though i can't purchase one anytime soon...but i did not. *sigh*
i was really close to getting this antony messenger bag though. seriously, i just want to own that hardware! hahhaha. but hardware aside, it's made of super thick, heavy leather. really sturdy bags in my opinion. but alas, i DID NOT purchase this messenger bag and i'm glad i didn't because i saw a lady at the cabazon outlet wearing one and she was tall and thin...and british possibly and it looked super yuppie and j.crew on her. that messenger bag would have done me no good...it hangs at an odd angle in my opinion and visually looks heavy.

i want that bag. it's cute!
which one? the tan bayswater or the black antony messenger?
mulberry is pretty fabulous.
(calamari) never been drawn to the mulberry brand. i picked up their roxanne big and thought the leather was stiff and hard. on the other hand, it does seem durable. it looks like a nice professional tote.
how about taking a personal pic instead of using a stock picture?
it's hard enough to push out a post or two when it's busy, let alone sneak in photo shots with my adopted camera. anyways, i can't take personal pics of things i don't own. i don't own a mulberry YET.
(calamari) geez it sounded like you had one.
you and potsticker weren't reading the post carefully. it TOTALLY sounded like i was coveting and not actually an owner of one.
