Well, it took long enough.

I’ve been thrilled about the introduction of the Mulberry Willow carry ever because it debuted on the brand’s spring 2013 runway back in September 2012, as well as finally, the item of my affection has ended up being offered for mass consumption. Thankfully, it’s just as lovely as I had kept in mind it being, if somewhat much more expensive than I had hoped.

In situation you’re not familiar with the Willow, its many salient function is that the front flap pocket completely zips off to ended up being an independent clutch, as well as a rather appealing one at that. Zip-off pockets are typically gimmicky as well as a bit awkward, however in this case, the integration of the grasp onto the front of the carry is performed in such a method that the carry doesn’t feel like there’s an additional part hanging off the front as well as the grasp doesn’t look like it was certainly taken from one more bag. Combing two separate pieces into one aesthetically pleasing style is no little task, as well as Mulberry’s done a incredibly great task of making it happen.

Of course, it definitely doesn’t hurt that both the grasp as well as carry in shape in rather well with look that’s happening in the purse world best now – streamlined shape, flared gussets as well as all that. If you remind yourself that you’re getting two bags, the $2,600 cost label doesn’t seem all that bad. Still, I was expecting something much more like $1,895. purchase with Net-a-Porter in both black as well as tan for $2,600.
