I realize this handbag is merely made of fabric, but the illustration brings an entire new dimension to the plate. The Mulberry Quilted Fabric Shopper showcases an illustrated appliqué from a Julie Verhoeven design on both the front and the back. The design on the front lures me in, showing a chic female face with half her face hidden by a red scarf.

Many of the handbag enthusiasts are raving about two things this season; patent leather and purple. I am part of the raving crowd, finding these two trends edgy and fun. Some purple hues are a deep plum, that tantalize the eyes and others are playful purples that entice your fun side. Either way, the trend is hot. Another handbag that fits the trend is the Mulberry Mable Patent Leather Bag which sports purple patent leather with chunky buckle fastening and gold hardware.

The beauty behind certain handbags is undeniable. Sassy and sultry, the Mulberry Ostrich Bayswater Bag brings together the beauty of exotic ostrich in a stunning purple hue. This specific combination is exclusive to Net A Porter, offering any customer with a radiating and stunning piece. The gold hardware gleams on the purple ostrich. The Bayswater design is not new, and has received its share of naysayers, claiming that this design is remarkably close to a Hermes Birkin.

Adding a bright color to a dark fall outfit will be the perfect boost to an otherwise dark ensemble. Be bold and add purple, blue, red, green, or yellow. Scarlet grained leather with gold hardware makes the Mulberry Large Mabel Bag a luscious handbag. My only major peeve with this handbag is the over sized luggage tag. If I were to buy this handbag I would immediately take over the luggage tag and place it on my Samsonite luggage, to give it a feminine touch and help it be set apart from all of the other luggage.

Well-made, sturdy, practical, and simple, the Mulberry Knightsbridge Leather Bag holds your goods without all the additional hoopla. Sure, tassels, tags, extra pockets everywhere, and a plethora of materials give a bag a fun appeal, but sometimes people just want to find a good sturdy bag. No whistles, no chains, just a simple bag. Mulberry is known for their impeccably sturdy designs on gorgeous toned down handbags.

The studinator is in da house. You think you are cool, WRONG. You are not cool unless you rock out the studs. It is totally ‘in’ to be totally punk rocker. We have been seeing studs thrown about here and there, but only one other time like this. Upon first glance, I ‘knew’ who the designer of this bag was. But I was totally wrong.

There is something about an earthy understated bag that is so practical and perfect for so many. Many times we are all so caught up with the newest trends, that we forget many people manifest their handbag desires in a great everyday bag. Mulberry deserves much credit for their sturdy simple designs that get the job done and do not add too many additions to make the bag detract from its intent.

The Desperate Housewife does have hair that puts mine to shame. After leaving Ken Paves Hair Salon (yep the Jessica Simpson BFF Ken Paves), Eva Longoria was photographed sporting long wavy locks and a chic new handbag. At first I could not ID the new shoulder bag, but something kept ringing a bell. And the bell was the Mulberry bell.

I hope all of you had a weekend enjoying some spring time sunshine. I spent many days relaxing and shopping and the evenings winding down in the jacuzzi! Got to love Florida! And now as it is just warming up, when you head to swipe some plastic, you realize that fall/winter lines are out already. It is 80 degrees and I was looking at velvet hats.

Recognize her? No? Look a little closer. Isn’t there something just a teeny bit familiar? That boxy shape, those front pockets…ah, you get it now. Yes, our girl Roxanne has gone punk. I almost said goth, but those studs are definitely punk rock. What happened to her, you ask? Well, Ms. Mulberry here has been hanging out with Giles Deacon, who decided to give her a little makeover.
