First there was the Alexa, inspired by Alexa Chung, and now there’s the Del Rey. Mulberry has honored Britain’s latest fashion muse, “Video Games” singer Lana Del Rey, with a handbag named in her honor.
Mulberry says it loves the way “Lana has mastered the style of Old Hollywood, mixing it with an edgy sense of fun.” The signature Del Rey handbag looks to replicate those same quirky contrasts with its casual and practical design.
The handbag made its debut at Mulberry’s recent catwalk show for London Fashion Week. Lana Del Rey was in prime front row position for the purse’s first appearance alongside Michael Williams, Elizabeth Olsen, Pixie Geldof, and Downtown Abbey beauties Laura Carmichael and Michelle Dockery.
Del Rey carried a pristine white ostrich version of the bag which bears her name to the runway show. She paired the exotic bespoke beauty with a casual pair of jeans, a complementary white sports jacket, and a classic white blouse.
At $1000 a piece, we may have to start saving now if we hope to indulge in a Del Rey handbag when they hit stores in May.
Personally I prefer the Alexa, but the Del Rey may just grow on me in the coming months. What do you think about Mulberry’s latest creation?
