Handbag experience

From work to play, it can be so hard to find the right handbag that can accompany you to both. However the Mulberry Blossom Cross-body Bag’s detachable and adjustable leather strap means it can be a shoulder, clutch or cross-body bag so it can do just that. It is just the right size to fit after-work essentials and the cheerful colours make it an absolute delight to carry on your arm this winter.

How big is the bag and what can fit in it? 

The bag is fairly compact at just 11cm in height, width of 18cm and depth 6.5cm, but as it is not too rigid you can really make use of the space it does have. Furthermore, there are two interior credit card slips and plenty of room for keys, hairbrush and phone – what more do you need?

Where and when is it perfect for? 

Its cross-body style makes this handbag the ideal bag for an evening out or to take on holiday as by having it across your body, you can ensure you keep your belongings safe. With just enough room for those everyday essentials, it is also the perfect handbag for those who like to travel light to work as it is sure to brighten up even the dullest suit. The detachable strap also makes it a cute clutch.

Handbag material 

All #mulberry handbags are made in England from the finest materials and this one is no exception. The Mulberry Blossom Cross-body Bag is made from 100% calf nappa leather and is detailed with soft gold toned hardware. To protect this special material, Mulberry recommend you regularly treat your bag with Collonil Leather Gel which will improve the water resistance of the leather and help maintain its resistance to dirt and moisture.

What colours are available? 

Currently available in black, sea blue, hibiscus, jungle green and mandarin, there is a colour for every personality. The mandarin and jungle green truly stand out and make a refreshing change from the blacks and greys.

BagServant’s thoughts

Every Mulberry bag is a classic and accessorising with one of these is a sure-fire way to complement your wardrobe. However, what particularly caught our eye about the Mulberry Blossom Multi-functional Cross-body bag was its vibrant colours, compact shape and adjustable and detachable strap. We are confident this is the only bag you would need to take on a trip as it can double up as a day bag and evening bag by simply whipping off the strap. What’s more, at just £250 this is a steel for a Mulberry – lets hope this a sign Mulberry will be bringing us more affordable fashion in the future.

Unlike many other impulse purchases such as shoes, dresses and the such like, handbags are an accessory that you can use again and again. If you make the right choice, your designer handbag will be an investment that just keeps on giving and will last you a lifetime.

Another classic is the #lulu guinness designs such as the Lulu Guinness Lip Clutch for example, these retro handbags have been making waves since the late 1980s/early 90s and show no signs of slowing down. You know if you purchase one of these gorgeous bags, it will live to see the inside of so many parties!

Here at BagServant we love the classic, timeless, designer handbags, inspired by fashion icons around the world. The type of handbags that will be a true bag for life. So why fork out on a boring high street handbag which will barely last you a season when you can make a long term investment in a designer number?

Unlike the classic Mulberry Bayswater or Mulberry Del Rey, which are fashion icons and recognisable all over the world, the Mulberry Blossom Leather Tote has a more simplistic and subtle style and features the funky new Mulberry logo.  Available in black, sea blue and hibiscus, there is a Blossom Tote for everyone . Every girl loves a Mulberry signature bag and this is the one for this season.

What it is made of? 

Calf Nappa Leather of course! Mulberry always use the finest materials and this bag is no exception. The bag features rounded handles, inspired by the vintage Mulberry Tetbury tote and its raw edge construction gives the bag a sleek, modern look.

How big is it? 

The Mulberry Blossom Leather Tote is big enough for work, college or play. With enough room to fit an ipad, notebook, umbrella, make up bag and much more this is the ideal handbag for all occasions. Dimensions are: H36 x W43 x D12 cm.

Best colours to choose 

To brighten up this dull day, we just love the hibiscus colour. Pair with jeans and a jumper to give yourself an instant lift on the inside and the out. For a smarter, more office style opt for the sea blue or black for effortless chic.

BagServant’s Thoughts

Mulberry handbags are classically British, understated yet stylish and will last you a lifetime. And, since when could you pick up a Mulberry handbag for just £495? It’s an absolute steal! We think we should all invest in this gorgeous tote bag now before they run out!

Handbag Experience 

The Mulberry Bayswater is arguably Mulberry’s most iconic and recognisable bag. Just parading this bag on your arm makes you feel like a style goddess. The bag reflects the luxurious craftsmanship Mulberry is renowned for and features the quintessential Mulberry Postman’s lock and is available in a variety of styles. Originally created as an everyday handbag,  it’s super practical, durable, goes with ANYTHING and fits all your office essentials. So, the Mulberry Bayswater really ticks all the boxes – it’s functional and fashionable.

When and where is it perfect for?

The obvious answer to this question is that the Mulberry Bayswater is the ideal office and everyday bag. But don’t be fooled into think that’s all it’s good for. Fashionistas and celebrities everywhere are often spotted carrying this bag to dinner, on the plane and even to wine bars. It really is that versatile. The Mulberry Bayswater isn’t just a handbag – it’s a real statement bag that wouldn’t look out of place ANYWHERE. Big Bag Lovers, Vintage Queens, Confident Classiques and Miss Practicals will all have a Mulberry Bayswater in their wardrobes to turn to when they are at a loose end.

Interior

Most Mulberry Bayswater handbags are lined with Mulberry logo lining, have a large internal zip pocket and can fit an iPad. However, different styles of the bag have different linings, such as soft suede (below). Whichever style and interior you choose, you can rest assured that Mulberry’s superb quality extends to the interior of all it’s bags  – so you know it will stand the test of the time.

Material 

Every season the Mulberry Bayswater comes in a variety of finishes and colours. The bags comes in various leathers, the original being called Darwin. Darwin leather is a natural, vegetable tanned leather which was Mulberry’s original material. Other materials include a shiny patent leather, Ostrich leather, printed leather, Pony Print Haircalf, metallic snake suede and many more.

Best colour to pick

Again, there are so many colours to choose from it is impossible to pick a favourite. Black, oak, grey and petrol are all great colours if you want the Mulberry Bayswater to be your everyday office bag. But if you are looking for more of a statement, bold handbag then the flame orange, metallic espresso and the hot fuchsia are fab alternatives.

BagServant’s thoughts

We firmly believe that any woman who likes to have a varied selection of designer handbags to pick from, needs a Mulberry Bayswater in her collection. The handbag really will last forever and it’s a faithful favourite you can always turn to if you want to look smart and sophisticated. Prices range from around £600 and go up to £4000+. The price reflects their durability and timelessness and as the styles and features change with each season you can either bag last year’s bargain or splurge on the hottest, latest Mulberry Bayswater.

Handbag Experience

A classic over-sized men’s messenger bag, the Mulberry Ted is the sophisticated man’s must-have. However, the best bit about the bag is that it is incredibly versatile and be carried as either a briefcase, messenger, shoulder bag or backpack – something that can’t be said for the Mulberry Brynmore.

The bag displays the traditional Mulberry symbol, a stand-out triple Postman’s Lock closure and has an adjustable canvas strap so the bag can be carried across the body or on the shoulder – making it perfect for any height. The bag also offers extra belt straps for added security.

Where and when is it perfect for?

Ultimately, this is the perfect office bag. It can easily fit a laptop and all those other work essentials. However, it is also spacious enough to be used as a travel bag if you are a bit of a Jetsetter! The great thing about this bag is that for a man, this may be the only bag you’ll ever need! Take it to work, to dinner, on holiday or even to the gym if you are a Gym Junkie, it really is that versatile.

Interior

As mentioned, inside there really is plenty of room for those office necessities, including a laptop. There is also a large zip compartment, slip pocket and pen holder – so your keys needn’t end up at the bottom of the bag! Additionally, the bag is lined with logo lining giving it an extra special finished look.

Material 

Finished in soft brushed leather, the Mulberry Ted is  the fashionable man’s version of the original briefcase. A Mulberry favourite, this type of leather is tanned using a natural vegetable tanning technique. This means, the soft leather retains the individual grain pattern of the skin, making each product unique.

Best Colour to Pick

The Mulberry Ted is available in Natural Oak Leather, Black or Chocolate colour. We chose the black as black will never go out of fashion, looks smart and clean and goes with absolutely everything!

BagServant’s Thoughts

Guys, if you want to get ahead of your game, dress to impress with the Mulberry Ted. The bag is quite expensive at £795 but remember you are paying for quality. Mulberry bags are renowned for their exquisite quality and durability and this bag will be a life long investment. And in conclusion, we definitely feel it ranks above the Mulberry Brynmore and is worth paying a little bit more for the extra quality, versatility and back pack feature!
