The 2010 'it' bag

Within the first couple of days of January, it is clear that the year's 'it' bag has been established. Named after one of Britain's most remarkable style icons, the Mulberry 'Alexa' bag is a fusion of the school girl satchel but with a chic, grown up twist.
It is available in small, medium or large and prices start at £695. The 'Alexa' takes the classic Bayswater bag and gives it an idiosyncratic Alexa Cheung makeover.
“I like to look like a girl who borrowed her brother's school clothes via her grandmother" said Alexa.



The Alexa comes in a variety of different styles including smudged leopord print, tan and (my favourite) oak; yet the black patent model was designed and made uniquely for the bag's muse herself, Alexa Cheung.
Practicality and style are two crucial elements in any 'it' bag, and the Alexa delivers perfectly. The 'it' bag has recently become a dying breed, but the Alexa has managed to survive the plague, so it's no wonder that the waiting lists are filling up for when the bag becomes available on January 18th.
