Every month I write a blog for Handbag Clinic and am their in house expert for authentication. Mulberry is a regularly counterfeited brand but luckily I know exactly what to look for. For my full guide on how to authenticate Mulberry please visit

Mulberry have certainly been doing some revamping recently, from bringing back their vintage stamping to renovating their classics and ditching styles such as the Del Rey to make room for some new pieces. Mulberry has grown from strength to strength over the years and always seem to bounce back with new styles that quickly become a must have item.
As I buy Handbag’s for Handbag Clinic everyday I see a huge mix of Mulberry but nothing beats the Bayswater. Bayswater’s that come into our stores fly out with in minutes of being posted online or being placed on the shelf. The one photographed below was placed into our Newcastle store and sold in just 10 minutes!!! I’m sure the new sleeker, Celine esque Bayswater will be a huge hit.
If you are looking for a great quality, authentic, pre owned Mulberry (for roughly 50% less than in Mulberry) then keep you eyes on Handbag Clinic’s Facebook and Instagram, @handbagclinic . Bags will soon be available to buy online also so look out for that at the end of June.
In honour of the Bayswater’s new look here are some cool facts about how it came to be Mulberry’s most iconic bag:

This week I met with an artist who is offering his services which allows you to make your bag as unique as you are. Rocky Mazzilli is the man behind these amazing pieces pictured below and soon you will be able to book an exclusive appointment with him in our store in Islington.
Rocky is certainly one of a kind and has been taking the fashion industry by storm with his brand Year Zero for many years. His clients include Pharrell Williams, Jason Derulo and even Queen B herself (that’s Beyoncé in case you don’t worship at the church of Yonce).
I sat down with Rocky and his super cool Mum Louise Michielsens in the Blue Bird, Chelsea to see what he had created with three Louis Vuitton bags I recently sent him. I was blown away!
I know there will be some Handbag lovers who may feel this is sacrilege as these are beautiful bags to begin with but I personally think if you want to make something completely yours, make your mark, express yourself then why not. I definitely love the results and cannot wait to create my own design!
These amazing designs and many,many more will be available from Handbag Clinic very soon with prices starting at £100.

Calling all Handbag Lovers,
This week I’ve planned a Social Media event for Handbag Clinic all about Chanel. Chanel will always be my absolute favourite. I dream of the day when I buy my first Chanel Double Flap Classic that’s actually for me.
I authenticate Chanel’s on a daily basis and it never gets boring. Call me dull but I love the fact I know which brand of press stud should be on a 1988 Chanel classic or how many stitches per inch that iconic quilted pattern should have. Each bag is made to the highest standard and every element of a modern day of the classic 2.55 relates back to Mademoiselle Privé’s original design from February 1955!
I’ve saved these little beauties for the event, which will be available to purchase from today in Handbag Clinic stores.
Contact details of the stores can be found at https://www.handbagclinic.co.uk/ or you can follow us on Facebook or Instagram, @handbagclinic .
If you love Chanel or any other brands and want more information leave a comment and I will happily write something up!
