Hey Mulberry, nothing like copying Proenza Schouler’s Satchel (on the right) which I think is much more streamline, sophisticated and cool. The Mulberry version (on the left) is clumsy looking and the silver buckles are too big for the bag. I’m not thrilled with the feel of the large bumpy leather. Mulberry has such great bags, not sure why they needed to duplicate a version of an already fabulous bag by someone else. They also used the same buckles that are featured on Hermes’ latest flat link silver bracelet and it looks so much better on the bracelet! Not so much originality here… My feelings are if you make your own great bags…why not continue to do so rather than make a so-so copy.
Mulberry’s Eggplant Satchel features two tone lambskin leather, a detachable and adjustable leather strap, one plaited top handle and belt strap/buckle detailing. If this is a must-have then click the green link to indulge. Designer handbags for her at harrods.com Personally, I’d rather buy the Alexa Mulberry or the Proenza Schouler Medium Leather Satchel. Nothing ever looks as good as the real thing!
