I am a big fan of the Mulberry period that came just after the Mulberry Roxy (as it was known then, before Roxy Quiksilver disputed the name). The leather and the styles were the best they ever made, in my opinion. This period would be probably from about 2003 about five years forward. I really miss Darwin leather and those iconic styles.
My favourites are the Mulberry Luella Giselle (designed by Stuart Vevers and Luella Bartley in 2002), closely followed by the Bayswater (designed by Nicholas Knightly in 2003). I also love the Roxanne but I am not sure if it was designed by Knightly or Vevers, and it was too early for Emma Hill I think (she designed the Alexa).
Other ones I love are the Jacquetta, Annie, Phoebe, Emmy and Elgin. I loved the colour ‘Ginger’ but my favourite is still the Oak.
