Update – Fall-Winter 2010 Womens Mulberry
It was a big hit for S/S10, and it looks set to be a big hit for F/W10 as well. What am I talking about? The Mulberry Alexa of course, which comes back with new colours that are guaranteed to make any girl drool. First, let’s start with the regular Alexa, which will come in buffalo leather, sparkle tweed and mixed haircalf.
The 3 shown above are the ones in soft buffalo (from top to bottom) in Plum, Grape and Black respectively. Oak is also making a comeback for F/W10, so there will be 4 colours in all for soft buffalo. Measuring 38 cm by 23 cm, they are expected to retail for GBP695 each.
The same 4 colours will also be represented in the Mulberry Oversized Alexa, slightly larger (42 cm by 32 cm) and priced at GBP795 a pop.
Next up, the Alexa in Sparkle Tweed, which is basically ‘sparkled’ leather that resembles tweed. I’m sure this one will look even better in real life, and is priced at GBP795 each. Besides Powder (shown above), it will also be available in Gunmetal.
And last but by no means least, the Alexa in Mixed Haircalf, a favourite of Alexa Chung herself these few months as she was seen toting this gorgeous satchel to various fashion events. Available in Camel, it is priced at GBP1650 a pop.

This complicates matters. I was totally going for another Balenciaga next. Now my Alexa lust has been rekindled in a big way. I can’t wait to look at Plum and Grape in the flesh…
As if the ones in Oak and Blue weren’t enough! These colours are delicious. If Mulberry keeps going, I’d say they could beat Loewe for fantastic colour selections.
Absolutely stunning. Any idea when these will hit our shores? thanks loads!
I was going to get the ink blue until I saw these. Emailed Mulberry immediately to ask them about the availability. They said July/ August. Oh gawd… that’s quite a long wait…
Better late than never! Sure beats getting it now and then regretting it later right?
BB, i saw a black python version of it in Hilton…
NOW we are talking….no spy pic?
GBP795 for tweed? crazy.
Great. One more bag added to my wishlist. It’s so hard to decide whether to get the Celine tote, Alexa or the made-to-order Fendi Peekaboo!
The sparkle tweed is beautiful in IRL, the black is nice but I prefer the powder one it has a lovely golden shimmer…
oh god, now shld i take ink blue/plum/grape… or sparkle? r they even gonna bring it into sg?
Where is the Mulberry boutique located in Singapore? Is the oversized Alexa available there? in which color? Thanks
Mulberry is located at Hilton Shopping Gallery and Takashimaya Department Store and their numbers are 6887-5100 and 6304-1372 respectively.
I can’t believe that the prices are so reasonable! I just had an euphoric rush….
Just ordered my Mulberry Oak Alexa in regular size to be delivered in a week!! Uber excited!
fantastic color!!! this is so crazy! I am falling in love with Mulberry Alexa… i am so tempted to buy one!!!
Every piece is yummy… I really want to see the sparkle tweed in real life. Would be a kick-ass neutral I must say.
BB, these are too tempting!
Indeed! Aren’t the new colours just lovely?
BB, do u think the oversized Alexa is big enough for a guy to carry?
Hi, I am thinking of getting the powder sparkle tweed. It is gorgeous. However, am not sure if it is leather and how it will wear, e.g. will the sparkle rub off or be too rough on clothes? Advice appreciated!
Hey Lara, the leather is actually pretty tough, so besides the usual care you’ll take when caring for a regular leather bag, you should have no other worries.
