Mulberry Alexa Quilted Denim Bag

Mulberry's line of Alexa bags has been traditionally somewhat conservative and utilitarian. This colorful new version is a major departure from the designer's usual style, and while it isn't particularly my taste, it is really beautifully done.

The fabric on this bag has such vibrant colors and such a soft sheen that it's hard to believe it's denim. It just looks so soft and touchable. But since it is denim, it's also rugged and durable. I'm not really sure what the treatment on the fabric is. I'm not sure that tie dye is completely accurate, but it does have a very dip-dyed look to it.

The shape of the bag is the same as the rest of the Alexa line, but in denim it looks transformed. This is definitely the hip younger sister to the rest of the Alexa clan. The black leather piping protects the edges from wear and also contrasts gorgeously, if subtly, with the colorful fabric.

At $1,250, this version of the Alexa is $100 more expensive than other bags in the line, even though it's not leather. But its larger size and unique stylishness makes it seem worth it.
