About Mulberry
Designer handbags are a beautiful thing to see in your closet or hanging from your arm. The quality. The iconic status. You know a handbag has definitely reached a certain level when you see celebrities such as Emma Roberts, Dua Lipa, Emilia Clarke, and Phoebe Waller-Bridge carrying it.
With a striking social media presence, the brand has a whopping 707k followers on Instagram. They’ve also been featured in Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue, Marie Claire, and Glamour UK.
But as with any iconic bag, does the allure match the actual product? Well, this Mulberry review will explore the brand’s best-selling products, highlights, and see what customers have to say about the brand to help you decide whether to invest in these bags.
Overview of Mulberry
Founded in 1971 by Roger Saul from the small town of Somerset, England, the brand was inspired by his environment—essentially, the trees he passed every day while walking to school.
From its start, it was a bit of a family affair as Saul used the £500 from his mom and had his sister design the signature tree logo.
Built to last, Saul first started designing leather belts before expanding his collection to include handbags and womenswear. Mulberry’s mission celebrates the contradiction of British identity: “[…] between Somerset serenity and London energy, Mulberry combines authentic, age-honored craft with an innovative edge.”

Mulberry handbags are versatile and chic—the perfect accessory for day or night. This Mulberry review will examine some of the details of their best-selling women’s handbags.
Mulberry Bayswater Review
You don’t have to be a runway model to sport a designer handbag. Finding a bag that you genuinely adore and will carry with you forever is a worthy endeavor.
This Mulberry Bayswater shoulder bag is a cult classic and could be your signature. The signature lock adds a delicate touch to this bag and keeps your very important items secure. The exterior of the bag is made out of soft cow leather, while the inside has a super soft microfiber lining.
This bag comes in 9 different colors and fabrics, ranging from modest black high shine calf leather to multicolor scotch grain. Although the silhouette is all the same, you can choose a color or texture that best reflects your personality. The price of each selection varies, going from $1,250 to $1,475.
Mulberry Alexa Review
Have you ever wanted to look put together but also casual at the same time? Like you’re trying, but not too hard and achieving the effortless chic of other influencers. If you’ve always admired the uncomplicated looks of these trendsetters, you’ll want to pay attention to this next bag.
The Mulberry Alexa is a collaboration with Alexa Chung, a well-known British designer and host of Netflix’s Next in Fashion. This bag combines elegance with effortlessness with its slouchy silhouette, but look closer and you’ll see it’s made of the finest material. Still, it’s the details that make this bag so special. The braided top handle adds a bit of flirtatiousness and femininity.
This bag ages like fine wine, the heavy bovine leather getting better and softer as time goes on. You can also wear this bag in several ways, if you’re an over-the-shoulder gal or prefer a crossbody fit, this bag comes with an adjustable leather strap for both styles.
You can choose between 11 different color options ranging from neutrals to neons, and even corduroy. The price of the Mulberry Alexa starts at $1,400 to $1,825.
Mulberry Mulberry x Nicholas Daley Small Antony Review
“Oh baby, baby, it’s a wild world. I’ll always remember you like a child, girl.” Cat Stevens embodied what it meant to have a bag like this by your side. So, put on your bell bottoms, let your hair down, and buckle up. If you’re nostalgic for the 70s, the 50th anniversary Mulberry x Nicholas Daley Small Antony collab will certainly catch your eye.
This little messenger bag comes in a royal blue and sapphire leather suede which is neutral enough to go with any outfit. The cotton canvas combined with the small-printed grain leather and luxe suede gives the bag a casual look while also being quite classy.
It’s about 8”x 7”x 2.5”, making it a small crossbody you can take with you on any adventure, festival, or outing. Your keys and cards will be secured with the reversed postman’s lock.
This bag retails for $1,425.

Mulberry Performance Tote Backpack Review
Whether you are trekking across the country or walking around the city, a backpack may be a more viable option than a tote or handbag. Those who have active lifestyles may gravitate towards something more practical like this next bag.
The Mulberry Performance Tote Backpack is functional for any outdoor activity you may have in mind. You can count on this backpack to keep all of your necessities (and snacks) safe with its numerous compartments.
The padded straps offer comfort so you can keep moving forward on your journey. You can evenly distribute the weight of your items in your bag which may give your shoulders some relief. This backpack also comes with handles which gives you the option of carrying it by hand, if you prefer.
Not only is the material used for this back durable, lightweight, and multifunctional, but it’s also recycled making it a sustainable product! This backpack comes in a dark green padded nylon and retails for $1,100.
Mulberry Small Bryn Tote Review
They said secure the bag and Mulberry understood the assignment. The Mulberry Small Bryn Tote bag comes with a triple-lock feature. Those who carry very important files can take solace knowing that their items are secure.
You may have heard that leather can be made out of vegan materials such as pineapple and mushrooms. But, did you know that the waste from biomass materials such as cereal can also be used as a material to make bags? Surprise! This tote is made from a combination of scotch grain and bioplastic materials.
This bag comes in 3 different colors including black and sunflower printed eco scotch grain and flat calf, black heavy grain, and summer khaki heavy grain. A little bit more affordable than the other bags offered by the brand, this Mulberry Small Bryn Tote ranges from $900–$1,025.
Who is Mulberry For?
This Mulberry review thinks this brand is a good option for those who value high-quality and timeless handbags and accessories over trendy items. Since their designs are quintessentially British, people who favor UK fashion over other European fashion will enjoy the products that Mulberry has to offer.
This brand is not for people who are on a tight budget as many of their products range in the thousands of dollars. But if you have the funds available and are in the market for a designer bag then you are the perfect candidate for this brand.

Since the website does not provide any reviews we had to investigate third-party websites such as Trustpilot, Purse Forum, and Review Centre. Generally, people were impressed with the quality of products and service.
Let’s start with the good stuff. Out of 161 reviews on TrustPilot, a 5-star reviewer says, “I have purchased several items from Mulberry both in store and online and have always been thoroughly happy. […] The quality of the leather is unbelievably high and wears well with time. I wouldn’t hesitate to purchase from them in the future.”
Another happy customer from Trustpilot gave the brand 5 stars when it came to customer service: “Purchased some items in store, when paying they had some technical difficulties resulting in my card being charged twice.

Finally, when it comes to the classic Mulberry Bayswater, out of 5 reviews on Review Centre, one 5-star reviewer says, “Mulberry Bayswater is a great everyday bag.

A few complaints include high cost, poor customer service on repair items, and damaged or missing products from online orders. Fortunately, this Mulberry review noticed that the brand has many dedicated purchasers who have never had any issues with their items.
Is Mulberry Worth It?
Overall, this Mulberry review thinks that the brand offers timeless accessories that can be used for various occasions. It’s definitely worth it for people who can afford to purchase a luxury handbag or accessory.
Compared to other designer accessory brands on the market, Mulberry is a bit more affordable while offering quality to match. Many people who have bought products from the brand have kept and adored them for many years.
On top of that, Mulberry understands the harmful effects consumerism has had on the planet. So, they aim to make products that will last for over 50 years. The brand encourages people to buy fewer products less often and we love them for it.
Mulberry also encourages its customers to repair their existing handbags instead of constantly updating their collections. Best part? They offer free repair and replacement services for the first 12 months of your purchase.
