More details of emerged of the bags we can expect to see in Mulberry’s diffusion line for Target.
Eight different styles will be released, and while we won’t see real leather many will be available in materials which at least give the illusion of luxury, such as velvet and denim. While there will no doubt be some pleather purses, hopefully Mulberry will use the gorgeous jersey fabric we saw in the red Bayswater for Gap bag a couple of years ago.
The bags will reportedly be “inspired” by the British firm’s aesthetic. So while they’ll likely take their cues from famous purses such as the Alexa and Roxanne, we probably won’t find exact copies. I like that approach, as it makes the Target line appealing on its own merits, rather than simply an affordable alternative.
As reported earlier, we’ll see the Mulberry for Target handbags in stores and online from October 10. They will be sold until December 24, or until stocks last. With Christmas just around the corner, I’m predicting they might not last that long!
