BayswaterBag

Sometimes it's the little and unexpected things that make a difference - in life and design. And when it comes to designing a handbag, one change can either improve it or hurt it. Whether it's widening a shoulder strap in an effort to provide added comfort, adding "feet" on the bottom of a bag to prevent stains, or even changing the color of the interior lining to give an unexpected and colorful surprise, these small changes are noticed and felt.

I was pleasantly surprised to come across the Mulberry Bayswater Bag ($1150) and was instantly excited to see how they've managed to update their iconic Bayswater handbag. By adding an ink print of a tranquil scene of birds flying, Mulberry has put a modern twist on their iconic Bayswater Bag. Not only does the print compliment its sophistication and elegance, but the color choice is just as complimentary, providing a harmonious balance of timeless elegance and modern appeal. The structured Bayswater features double top handles, gold toned hardware, brown suede lining and hidden side buckles to expand the size.

In an effort to reach more of its loyal American fan base, British handbag designer Mulberry has launched a U.S.-dedicated website where devoted shoppers can snap up its iconic bags.

One such design, the popular Bayswater (above), will be available in four jewel-toned ostrich shades exclusively to American shoppers through the new site. Each bag is a limited edition piece and retails for $3,995.

If you can't justify the splurge, try using the site's wish list feature so someone else might.
