The era of the all-encompassing It Bag has mostly come and gone, and with the breadth of designer possibilities available, more individualized trends usually rule the day. That is, of course, unless we’re talking about the Mulberry Alexa Satchel. If It Bags still exist, it absolutely deserves the moniker.
Named after It Girl Alexa Chung, this little number has been on the minds of fashionistas both in the US and across the pond since we initially saw Chung wearing it months and months ago. And really, is there a better way to attract attention for your new bag than by naming it after a rising star and then giving her one to carry everywhere? I think not.
The blue version that we have here is the larger “oversized” version, which I chose mainly because of its gorgeous color. Getting a good, medium blue or red is really hard with most leather, particularly if the look is also distressed, and Mulberry manages to totally pull it off with this bag. It’s a functional shape in a beautiful color, and the leather looks smooshy and luxurious. The book straps remind me a bit of the Proenza Schouler PS1 Satchel, but I think I actually like the slouchy, vintage look of this satchel better. Plus, it’s less expensive. Buy through Luisa Via Roma for $1731.
nice bag, wonderful color!
is this Oversize alexa?
i bought a oak alexa from Fashion925(.)com
i love my alexa bag!!!
i think it is a classic style as bayswater.
gorgeous!!
Beautiful color, but are the buckles functional? I think it would be cumbersome to get in and out of a bag with buckles. I’m too much of a control freak to allow the buckles to be undone all the time, LOL.
The buckles just snap close. It’s a functional bag.
I love this bag!! I’ve been wanting/saving to buy a Balenciaga bag, but now I don’t know! I need to see this Mulberry Alexa bag in person.
Loving the color!!! Very pretty!
This is perfection. If any bag deserves It Bag status it’s this one. Wonderful colour, great shape.
Love! I can’t wait to see the bag in person!
I held this bag recently (I am a huge Mulberry fan). I didn’t like the leather or the gold detailing. It’s got a hefty pricetag, but looks and feels a lot cheaper – a pity because it has a nice style.
I like it soooo much but the price in my country (Thailand) is not reasonable enough for me to pay. It around $300 extra for tax and other things so the bag costs almost $2000 just too much
It is beautiful! I am more of a black handbag girl lol! I love this one however!
This bag looks cheap like it may have come from Aldo. It’s too much hanging off of it.
Love this bag in brown. A little obsessed even.
Love it! I won’t one, too!
Love it! The color is gorgeous!

There is nothing I do not like about this handbag. Love it, love it, love it!!!
