Last night the infamous Chateau Marmont in LA played host to a little star studded soiree; with Alexa Chung as DJ, giant glittering leopards and a plethora of fabulous bags present – it was of course in honour of Mulberry. This English Heritage brand has come a long way since its mid nineties slump, and thanks to the invention of the ‘it bag’, they are one of the favourite names to be seen adorning the shoulders and elbows of fashion’s elite. Here Alexa wears the classic ‘Roxanne’ in oak, but for something from their more recent collections look no further than the Fashion Editors obsession – the consistently sold out ‘Alexa’, which also comes in at £595. It may be a hefty price tag but with only the finest leathers (that actually look better as they age), these bags are mighty clever investments; and far more attractive than stocks and shares surely?
