Sadly my naive hopes that the lovely Mulberry press team would psychically determine it was my birthday (and therefore throw me an Alexa satchel) were in total vain as I left their autumn/winter 2010/2011 press day empty handed… Nevertheless it was an utter treat to check out the forthcoming collection including updates on favourite lines and a few new bag families thrown in for good measure.

All apparently inspired by a curious mish-mash of The Valley Of The Dolls, naughty English royalty, Hollywood theatricals and OTT animal prints, it perhaps comes as little surprise that the collection was playful, eclectic and hella’ irreverent.

The classic Bayswater bag has a totally new remix in gold python and newcomer, the aforementioned Alexa has been reincarnated in multiple sizes. I loved the new Edna and Margaret (after, Princess, natch) lines, regally influenced and resplendent with charms, chains and the adorably kitsch bulldog and cupcake crest. Particularly yum (and fortunately, prolific throughout the collection) was the pink and purple Loopy Leopard print which has managed to splatter its way over R-T-W and accessories.
