I think the unwritten rule is that if you see more than three hot Tinseltown “it girls photographed carrying the same purse, it automatically becomes the next “it bag. So when the likes of Kate Bosworth, Lindsay Lohan, Kate Moss and Sienna Miller were all seen out and about toting a version of the Mulberry’s Mabel satchel since it was debuted last year, lightbulbs went off in fashionistas’ heads everywhere, and the hunt for a Mabel of their own quickly ensued.

Available in all different shades , including this season’s brights , and materials like snakeskin and patent leather, the Mulberry Mabel fits the mold of Spring/Summer’s hot trends. Known for high quality and luxurious handbags for some time now, the London-based line has had loyal fans for sometime, but is just now hitting the mainstream.

I love the sturdy, constructed look of the bag and the dual wide arm straps, and the fact that the shape is timeless and classic, but the vibrant colors and hardware details make it modern and stylish at the same time. Starting from £595 available at Mulberry.com
