What is the Mulberry brand?
Mulberry is a British luxury leather‑goods brand founded in Somerset in 1971 by Roger Saul. Its tree logo and quietly functional designs represent “modern heritage.” Renowned for craftsmanship, Mulberry is the largest luxury leather‑goods manufacturer in the UK and still produces over 50% of its bags at its two Somerset factories: The Rookery and The Willows.
British bag craftsmanship and modern us Mulberry blends traditional, in‑house leather craftsmanship with everyday practicality. That ethos—heritage techniques meeting modern needs—shows up in the brand’s icons, workshops, apprenticeship programs, and after‑sales service, and it’s especially clear in the Bayswater family’s updated capacities and carry options tailored to today’s routines.
The importance of the Bayswater series Launched in 2003, the Bayswater quickly became a Mulberry signature and one of Britain’s most recognizable “It Bags.” Thanks to its simple design and signature Postman’s Lock, it has endured far beyond trend cycles. Recent coverage continues to treat the Bayswater as a defining British icon.
What is the Bayswater series? Core identity. At its core, the Bayswater is a simple, top‑handle silhouette closed with a Postman’s Lock. Over time, the series—now including small/mini, strap, and zippered versions—expanded to enhance everyday usability. The evolution prioritized function without compromising the iconic look.
The new models you’ll see today
Bayswater 9 to 5 (Length x Height x Width). 31.75–43.18 x 24.77 x 15.24 cm / 12.5–17 x 9.75 x 6 inches. Close to the classic Bayswater in spirit, this version differs in shape, with a more angular, rugged character.
Mini Bayswater Tote (Length x Height x Width). 22.23–31.12 x 17.78 x 10.16 cm / 8.75–12.25 x 7 x 4 inches. A much‑needed mini take on the Bayswater tote; the strap increases day‑to‑day ease, and the Postman’s Lock remains part of the story.
Mini Bayswater Backpack (Length x Height x Width). 20.96 x 20.96 x 9.53 cm / 8.25 x 8.25 x 3.75 inches. Designed for comfort, it preserves the classic feel with thin straps. It may be even more appealing in a slightly larger size—an addition many would welcome.
You can find the perfect Bayswater for every moment in life. Available in both classic and sportier interpretations, it’s ready to accompany you any time.
For example. The Soft Bayswater series delivers a sportier attitude with its strings, while the classic Bayswater maintains a weightier, more formal presence despite its soft cut. For a tougher, sharper look, the new Bayswater 9 to 5 has made an incredible difference. The totes and new backpacks are tuned to the pace of daily life. Perhaps a smaller clutch and an overnight bag series would have impressed us, too.
The most common problems with these bags
- Clutter
- Items scattered throughout the bag
- Risk of interior stains and deformation
Large bags often experience clutter. A bag organizer is recommended: it restores order while protecting the lining from spills, making everyday use easier and more convenient.
Why is an organizer necessary? An organizer helps a bag maintain its shape and structure during use. Pockets and optional accessories make space work harder. The inner‑lining and structural protection extend the life of the bag. When not in use, a bag storage pad protects form and fabric so you can store your bags for many years without wear and tear.
Key benefits
- Structural protection (shape retention, less sagging)
- More efficient use (special pockets, optional add‑ons)
- Extended bag life (liner protection, storage support)
