You'd have to take it to a licenced Mulberry distributor.

They do knock up very good quality fakes throughout the Far East and Asia, usually with authentic dust bags and serial numbers so I'd certainly get it checked and verified if you intend to sell it on.

Well the car boot I went to yesterday was packed!! So packed it was hard to look at the stalls so only managed to get a couple of bits, mainly disney cars for my son!
But this morning I popped in a charity shop and they had a 1980's fisher price Hob for 50p! was going to give it to my son but then looked on ebay and thought better of it lol!!

Whooo Hooo! I went in to a local charity shop today (I am new to all of this charity shop buying) and found a brand new pair of 3/4 length jeans (dorothy perkins) for £2.99 BUT they were in a size 12, since having my son 19 months ago I have fluctuated between a 16 and 14. Well I thought I would try them on as I had lost a bit of weight recently and they fit perfectly! I am so chuffed!! :j:j

I actually found a bargain in a charity shop! Rare round here as they are so expensive!
NWOT pair of Next Jeans in my size!! Was too hot to try them on so bought them cos Next size 8 petite fit me really well and they are fine. AND only £1.99 and came with a belt too!

What a great haul Goanmad

It was a bit hot on Sunday and I had to rush because we had to go to church to have our banns read. All I got were 6 packs of 10 wedding reception invites £3 (exactly what I needed and the nicest ones I've seen in the shops are £4.99 for 10).

I also bought a lovely pair of Next wooden 70s style wedges which are perfect to go with my new jumpsuit.

3 very recently released DVDs, all 3 for £5.

Looking forward to this sunday

A bit late to add this but went to our usual CB on sunday and managed to get a fabulous 70's maxi dress that fit's me perfectly. I now need the occasion to wear it and go all "Margot Ledbetter"!! Also got a black lace trim shift dress from the 70's too but it is way too big so will possibly be ebaying that.
