Named after the singer Lana Del Rey, the Mulberry Del Rey leather tote bag is inspired by the singer’s signature retro look. Like many other Mulberry handbags, such as the Bayswater tote which we love to review, the Del Rey tote is simple in design and available in a variety of colours. Plus add in the practicality of the bag then it will quickly become your new best friend. It has become this for many celebrities and style icons across the globe and is the piece of arm candy that you want to be seen with.
What Are They Made Of?
The Del Rey totes are made in a variety of materials. This season the leather totes are made of either glossy goat skin, shiny goat skin or grainy calf skin. Each three of these leathers give off different effects. The glossy goat leather is a smooth and soft leather that gives a natural, relaxed finish to the bag. The shiny goat skin gives a more luxurious feel to the bag as it has the shiny finish added on top of the leather. The Calf skin is soft and supple which has a printer shrunken grain effect on the bag.
How Big Are They?
Like most other Mulberry tote bags, the Del Rey is roomy. It is a structured bag but it is not as organised inside as other Mulberry bags such as the Bayswater Double Zip tote. There is only one main compartment to the Del Rey and it contains one zipped pocket and one slip pocket. Dimension wise the standard Del Rey leather tote measures in at 24cm x 34 cm x 16.5cm. Though Mulberry have recently released a miniature version of the Del Rey to be on trend for AW13 which comes with a handy detachable strap.
What Colours Are Available?
The Most popular colour of the Del Rey has to be the ‘classic’ Mulberry colour, deer brown. Other colours available include grey, black, blue, red and emerald. This range of colours make it versatile as each colour can be matched for a different occasion.
Perfect For & Style Tips
With the structure of this bag it is a must for any Boardroom Perfectionist. It is simple in design and structured just like an office bag needs to be. Opt for a classic colour such a black or deer brown to compliment you twin suit and heels for the boardroom. And perhaps add in a coat now that summer is coming to an end. As there is a wide variety of colours available pick of more striking colour, such as red or emerald, and make this arm candy the centre of attention as you shop and tote around the city. Or to truly be on trend add the mini Del Rey as an alternative to evening clutches.
BagServant Thoughts
We love the Del Rey, the leather handbag as well as the singer herself. Mulberry have found a way to chic and luxe up a doctor’s style bag due the many different textures and colours available. We love that this versatility in style clashes but also compliments the simplicity of the design and structure to the bag. We can see this becoming another Mulberry ‘it’ bag just like the iconic Bayswater tote and Alexa cross-body bag. It has already become a hit with the stars since being launched last year and will continue to be a lusted bag for years to come.
