Something Old, Something New

You might have seen one of my Mulberry Roxanne reviews. And maybe also my Roxette unboxing  - though I just realised, I haven't done a proper review yet, so need to do that asap! Anyway, back to the here and now: the Roxette is often described as the modern take on the Roxanne, so I thought I'd do a quick comparison video.

I need to state here that I am comparing the Small Roxette with the Roxanne, so you could argue that I should compare the Roxanne with the Regular Roxette but I don't have one of those and the Rosemary is a fair bit smaller that the Small Roxette.

Fancy having a look? Measurements for your info at the bottom!

Which one is your favourite?

Roxanne measures ca width 34 cm, depth 18 cm, height 19 cm. Handledrop is ca 22cm.

Roxette measures ca width 30 cm, depth 14 cm, height 21 cm. Handledrop is ca 10cm - but you do get a long adjustable strap.

Mulberry Roxanne - No Red Light Required

Don't tell my Alexa but I think Mulberry's most Rock'n'Roll bag is the Roxanne. The leather biker leather jacket of all bags. If she had a drink it would be a Jack Daniels & Coke. And you definitely wouldn't want to mess with her. Anyway, I digress slightly but I do have a point. 

Chunky, solid, no unnecessary frilly bits, her style is unapologetically rustic, yet she possesses that certain kind of je ne sais quoi that exudes confidence and elegance, all with a bit of comfort thrown in.

If you're after a bag that is robust and versatile, she could just be the girl for you. A real investment piece, whose leather will only get more beautiful with use and age - especially if you manage to find one in Darwin.

The only downside I could find is the weight, but with a wide strap or if you carry her in your hand, not really an issue. And because I don't want to finish on a downer - guess whose Samorga fits perfectly? ;)
