My love affair with Mulberry has been a tempestuous one. Only for the issue that I find myself falling for a bag only to find myself cheating on the previous love with a second, third, fourth and fifth moments later.
Mulberry's Autumn/Winter 2011 has left me with a horrible dilemma, 'which one?'
I'm going to share with you a shortlist of my favourites in the hope that this cleansing process will help me come to some kind of decision.
The Lily in the 'Feathered Friends' print is just lovely. Lovely may be a word some may find hard to sit with this on the shoulder accessory or feel its not enough of a word, but for me its perfect. The Lily is just lovely; so classic, simple and timeless and so with the added aesthetic of feathers... perfectly lovely.
The Tillie is a statement bag that I would love to have hit my arm with its full force, and in 'Foxglove Pink Nappa Leather' its sure to leave an imprint on me. A satchel that whispers some military inspiration is sure to never go out of style but the colour keeps it young and current. Oversized, over-coloured and just over-fabulous. Fabulous is the word for this bag.
Finally the last is by no means the least, but in fact the bag I just don't want to live without. The 'Peace and Love Bayswater' has been carefully sprinkled with their new season motifs that seem to sit snugly on the Midnight calf hair. The iconic Bayswater seems to enjoy the seasonal update, leaving its classic leathers in the shadows. The design is just magical.
So it seems I have to choose between something lovely, fabulous or magical. In an ideal world I would aspire to be all three of these adjectives. For now I will have to dance with the Mulberry tree a little longer, it seems to be throwing me some hard decisions to make.
