In line with autumn’s animal print trend, the Mulberry Alexa has had a contemporary update, which is perfect for those of us who are looking for something traditional yet modern this season.

We love the simplicity of the print on patent leather, making it ideal if you feel uncomfortable investing in a loud leopard print piece this season – it softens the trend with a subtle, elegant simplicity without sacrificing the glamour.

The classic preppy satchel shape with the signature Mulberry postman lock makes it perfect for work and shopping – and the multiple straps will work with any look whether it’s casually slung across the body with jeans and a boyfriend cardi, or hand-held on a dinner date with a dress and heels.

Plus, the chocolate colour and black straps will blend with your seasonal wardrobe updates taking you right through the year – a true timeless piece.
