Mulberry

One day last summer while walking down Oxford Street, I saw a beautiful girl moving past me, wearing fitted jeans and light blazer, with a Baywater (Oak Darwin) slung over her shoulder. It looked perfect and made me wish I had one too. But I decided to spend my money on a new MacBook rather than another handbag!

The Tyler bag looks cute, and I love the ruggedness of the Elgin, pictured. Wouldn't it make the best bookbag ever?

Other than that, my reactions to the brand are pretty mixed. The girl-name bags leave me cold, and my tastes are too conservative to opt for tooling or two-tone. What's up with the Picadilly? That thing is massive!
