When it comes to big purchases I am not usually one to act on impulse. I like to think I am very considered and sensible and will contemplate a big splurge for weeks, months on end – seeking some sort of inner justification before handing over my credit card. However last Sunday, whilst idling shopping with Rob for some basics, I was drawn towards the Mulberry store (as we all are!) and left with this beautiful new bag – the small bayswater double zip tote. To my defence (and hear me out here…), I desperately needed a bag I could sling over my shoulder and just go rather than cradling it in the crook of my arm which is never that practical. I also had come to the realisation that I didn’t actually own a simple, black bag – something classic, smart and timeless that I could use for work, travelling and evening events.
When I saw the small bayswater sitting neatly in the store there was no question that it ticked all the boxes and I loved its elegant structure and the rose gold hardware. It is so practical and just the right size to house all the essentials, my phone, purse, filofax, a dozen or so lipsticks, but doesn’t feel too bulky or cumbersome. The zipped compartments are great for keeping everything safe and secure and I love the fact you have to option of using the shoulder strap when mooching around town all day or tucking it away and simply keeping it smart and simple as a tote for the night time. I always worry that an impulse purchase will lead to a wave of doubt and reconsideration the next day but I can safely say that there are no regrets here and it has settled in well next to my Willow Tote!

Oh wow that bag is just gorgeous; I would love to have a Mulberry bag like that. I love the fact it has a strap to; it annoys me having to hold a bag haha.

The traditional Bayswater doesn't appeal to me really ( but I wouldn't complain if I was bought one!) but I ADORE this smaller style – you're so lucky! x

This is so beautiful! I got another Mulberry at the beginning of this year and I thought it would satiate my need to get another for a long time, but I'm already about to head to Mulberry for a browse as yours is rather delightful! x

It is absolutely beautiful! I wish I had one – no regrets! You deserve a great bag 🙂
