Mulberry-Famous Model’s Love

The fashion for mulberry shop draped over arms in a display of “look at me, look at my arm candy” wealth has waned in the last few years. With new terminology sprouting from the inner sanctums of fashions fickle mill, such as frugalista, bargainista, make do and mend, reuse and recycle. Designer handbags are not getting the revere they once enjoyed and are almost seen as ostentatious.So, it’s wonderful to see the young and beautiful Alexa Chung carrying her Mulberry Alexa bag around with her everywhere.

By age 25 supermodel Agyness Deyn had a bag from the top designer house Mulberry named after her. Her accomplishments by age 25 make most cower. This ambitious model was the face of Burberry and Giorgio Armani campaign, though she was recently dropped from Mulberry bagswater handbags. On top of these two campaigns Deyn was the face of the S/S 2007 Mulberry campaign.


The Mulberry handbags sold out as soon as the handbag hit the shops back in January 2010. It’s no wonder as it was based on a battered old classic Mulberry man’s bag that Alexa had been carrying around and with it’s satchel shape, classic tan hue, versatile long strap and short handles, it is a design classic for sure.

This launched her into having a Mulberry Factory Shop named after her, the Mulberry Agyness Bag. This bag is simply chic, just as Agyness is. The supple putty leather covers this spacious shoulder bag with a signature Mulberry plate clasp on the front strap. There are double top handles and the bag provides the perfect slouch to be thrown over your arm. This sleek and chic bag was perfectly named after one of the biggest up and coming supermodels (of 2008 at least).
