Mulberry's Loopy Leopard

It’s so often such a fine line between good tacky and bad tacky, and Mulberry’s latest Loopy Leopard collection is veering dangerously towards the latter.

Plum Loopy Leopard Patent Leather Bayswater, £850

If you asked a bunch of little girls to design a handbag, I'm sure the majority would include reds, pinks and purples in a pretty, splodgy pattern.  In spite of this, I still like it.

Its garish, in-your-face print could feasibly be all over chavvy markets up and down the country, but with Mulberry’s patent gloss and hefty pricetag - ta-dah! - the new Bayswater is a designer must-have.
