Bag Review: Mulberry’s new big hit the Evelina

A couple of months ago I bought myself the new Mulberry hit - The Evelina.   

Since the first day I have been carrying it nearly every day.  Now I am ready to share with you my first few months with my new friend Evelina.

Handbag Experience ….

Although the Evelina is defined as a satchel shape, the bag looks more like a messenger. The bag has a little top handle, it allows you to carry it in different ways. In this way it changes its look. By carrying under your arm you create a hobo shape. Although I would not advise you to have it in the winter times with a heavy coat. It would not be too comfortable.

The flap is made from very nice soft leather.  When you open the bag the flap underside is suede and it has another smaller plaque to lock the bag and give a little more security. 

Wear It When….

It is a great accessory to take with you to the office and it will make you look very sophisticated at your lunch with your most important client. This oversized satchel is the bag where you can fit in all you essentials when you pop out to do a quick shop after work.

Perfect for ….

Perfect for all corporate chic women who like to be trendy but also stylish. The great news is that Evelina Satchel large is also a great modern bag for new mothers. It is big enough to fit all your baby essentials, some space will even be left for your personal belongings as well.

You can fit in ….

Its very spacious, with dimensions of H 30cm, W 36cm, D 13cm, you will certainly fit A4 papers or a laptop.  You don’t want to overload the bag otherwise it becomes too heavy and might lose its shape.

Best colour to choose ….

I love green, as I have a dark green winter coat and I don’t have any other green bags. Worth considering your wardrobe colours, style and your current bag selection. 

Wear & Tear & Care experience ….

Made from a very nice soft leather - just one of these bags which you want to have a feel of. You must not forget to take care of the bag with a water repellent spray before you take it out. But apart from that,  maintenance should be low.

Handbag Interior ….

There are only 2 little inside pockets. One for your mobile phone, travel card or business cards at front and a bigger zipped pocket at the back.  If you like to be organised and find everything in your bag, this bag may not be the best choice, however, on other hand you can fit in lots of other things as well.

Bag Servant thoughts …

We love the bag. It is a great functional bag. I strongly believe that this bag could become the new mother bag with all the space inside, easy to carry and looking great. Being part of the Evelina family gives me a great sense of belonging. Check it out for the look.
