mulberry-somerset-hobo-white.jpgThe Somerset hobo is one of Mulberry's most elegant, simple designs, and I love how they keep re-inventing it in seasonal colours. Last year we had the stunning cerise version, and to keep in line with the summer's bleached out look, they've now released it in white, with a subtle red trim at the edges. This makes accentuates the bag's features somewhat, and the signature plaited zip-pull look even more jolly and fun.

It's odd to see this style, which I associate with darker colours, getting a summer peroxide job, but I have to say I rather like the results. It's the same classic, take-everywhere look, but easier to match with your warm weather wardrobe. Embrace the change!
