The Duchess of Cambridge, Catherine (also known as the former Kate Middleton), was seen in Canada a few days ago carrying this handbag…
What bag is this? It’s the Mulberry Polly Push Lock Small Leather Bag which is about £794.27 in Net-A-Porter, or roughly about US$1300.
This is how the bag looks up close:
It’s compact but spacious. It looks like a toned down version of a classic Kelly handbag from Hermes, but not so toned down that it also is kind of polished and sophisticated. The handbag is a mix of brown and orange, as this style is going for the retro feel. The leather, in fact, is textured, which is something of an issue for me, because I would have preferred this smoother. Nevertheless, it’s still a pretty bag.
This is made of Bovine leather, with gold feet and other gold hardware. Inside, the bag is lined in suede and black canvas. Gorgeous and so functional, very fitting for the young Duchess.
This model also comes in large, and in a slightly different color (brownish red) and it’s made of cow leather.
I think this is another great design from Mulberry. They’re really coming up with some awesome bags, aren’t they?

W Magazine picked this Proenza Schouler patent leather bag for it’s Editor’s Choice. The bag, in spite of its tough exterior, is actually soft but durable.
The style is actually very classic and there’s nothing extra-ordinary about it. It looks basic. However, if you’re looking for a handbag that can stand harsh winter season, W Magazine highly recommends this and says that it can “withstand the sloppiest of New York City winters.”
Proenza’s been doing really well and is slowly becoming a bag brand of choice for many bagaholics. This is pretty much a good place to be, for a brand that started in 2002.
Do you own a Proenza Schouler already? If not, are you planning to get one from this label?

Beautiful leather bags can dull out over time especially when it’s not maintained or stored well. You need to clean this so that it will still look new even after years of purchase. You also help extend the life of your precious bag with regular cleaning.
Firstly, most designer bags have enclosed tags with tips and suggestions to cleaning it. Always heed to this recommendation.
If there are none, you can do these following tips to clean your designer leather bags:
1. Remove all items in your bag and unzip and unbotton pockets and compartments. Make sure that they don’t contain anything and that lose dirt and debris are also removed. 2. Using a clean, dry and soft cloth, wipe your bag inside and outside. 3. Most bag hags recommend using body shampoos or soaps for sensitive skin such as Dove or Neutrogena. You only need a few drops of this mixed with pure water. 4. With another soft cloth, dip this into the shampoo solution, but make sure that this is not thoroughly wet. Wipe this on the outer surface of your leather bag. 5. Use a dry soft cloth afterwards and buff the surface to restore its luster.
Alcohol is a good agent for removing stain. You can also use tartar or lemon juice if it’s harder to remove. However, you must apply only on the area concerned using cotton buds. Avoid using baby oil to keep it shiny as this will alter the condition of the leather. Keep your bag in a clean and dry place at all times, when not in use.
