With the new season almost upon us, here’s a quick look at the new Mulberry Travel Day Bag, which is 60% similar to all the other bags currently being offered at Mulberry. On one hand, I lament the fact that Mulberry keeps rehashing existing icons like the Alexa, while on the other, I’m happy since those who didn’t like the previous interpretations may be won over by this one. I know, I’m schizo like that.
Looking almost like the aforementioned Alexa, the only big difference as far as the exterior is concerned is the addition of a lot more hardware in the form of the plaque in front, along with all those embellishments on both sides of the bag.
Another big change is the addition of the 3rd strap that you can see in the middle of the bag, and if it is functional, it simply means you can now leave the other straps unbuckled while you’re out and about. Which is a good thing since those extra straps can be a hassle when you’re trying to retrieve something while on the go.
Besides the regular versions, there will also be an Oversized Travel Day Bag, in a variety of colours and finishes. And now we wait, to find out when they will be released for sale, and how much.

Love the photoshoot though, MELTED ICECREAM!
Haha I still like how Mulberry defined the look of satchels.
I know what you mean BB, and you know what, I actually like it. Always thought the Alexa was kinda plain so this works fine for me!
As much as i love Mulberry, there are just so many interpretations of the satchel a brand can do…
they are running out of ideas, yeah?
MEH!
Ditto.
Looks like the Mulberry designer fell out of bed and had a bad day at work. Not liking this one at all.
