    I was going to talk you out of it until I saw it. It's gorgeous. If you have the spare cash buy it and look after it and make it last.

    Not worth going into debt for though.

    wow, it is lovely, but is it worth it? do you NEED it? can you really afford it, and by afford I mean not on credit.

    Are they genuine though? Looks too good to be true to me and there are very few details on the site about who they are and where they operate from or how to contact them. If you are going to buy, ring Mulberry's head office first and check, otherwise you're spending a lot of money for a fake.

    I'm also pretty sure it's a fake.... The outlets don't sell online and it doesn't look quite like my Alexa but maybe you know that already?

    HAHA AW MAN, you guys are meant to be talking me out of it.
    I do have the cash, i have £1200 of debt left at 0% which is being paid off at £180 to be paid off before the 0% period ends.

    Have paid off about £6k in the last year and have managed to save £2500 in cash too.
    Im still in the saving mindset though where its an obscene amount even if it is a bargain.

    it is a real bag, from the factory outlet in York.
    I bought a fake one in Turkey once and loved it to death, but it fell apart after 3 months or so.

    Please do not waste your money, this is not a genuine Mulberry bag or website!

    Please see Mulberry's website:
