Here at the Bag Lady, we weren't too sure about Mulberry's new 'Neely' range when we first saw it photographed: there are two versions of it pictured above right - the Shoulder Bag (£650), top right and Tote, £784. The range is named after the lead character in Valley of the Dolls, and is being rolled out in a number of different fabrics and shades.
In isolation. I'd have to say that both styles are a little uninspiring, but carried with a chic outfit like this one worn by Gossip Girl's Blake Lively, they do begin to come into their own, showing the classic Mulberry simplicity of style that we've come to love over the years. I'm a Mulberry nut and it's unusual for me not to fall for one of their styles immediately, so I'm hoping this one will be a grower! What stands out most is the obvious quality and beautiful colouring of the leather, which looks like it's about to get a bit of a dowsing in this recent photo!
