How pretty is this mini Mulberry Zipped Bayswater! This small satchel has been on my wish list for roughly a year, and I finally snapped one up! I love the neutral color, thick and luxurious leather, impeccable craftsmanship, and timeless style. Love!!

The Mulberry mini Zipped Bayswater is part of Mulberry’s Bayswater family which includes several styles and sizes of satchels and totes. The Bayswater style offers a more relaxed version of a structured handbag. It can drift easily between a formal office environment and weekend casual looks. I love the versatility!

This particular style is a mini satchel style which is more like a small handbag. It can fit much more than your average mini, making it easy to carry during any season. I can fit my wallet, phone, lipstick, and keys. In addition, I can add gloves, a thin scarf, and snacks. As you can see from the photos below, it is quite roomy for a mini bag!

what fits inside mulberry mini zipped bayswater

The Mulberry mini Zipped Bayswater offers one interior slip pocket which can be used for items such as receipts, a card holder, and more. I tend to just throw everything inside without using the interior pocket, but I should use it! haha

I love the luxurious feel, thick leather, and durability of the bag. It really is a workhorse! The larger size would be great for holding a laptop and larger items. I am adding it to my wish list! The hard part is choosing a color, Mulberry always has a vast array of colors to choose from!

The mini Zipped Bayswater comes with a detachable shoulder strap which can be used cross body or over the shoulder. This gives the bag more versatility as it can be carried cross body, as a shoulder bag, handheld, or on the forearm. Love that!

Handbag spotlight: Khaite Lotus Tote, pictured in mini size black /

How fabulous is the Khaite Lotus Tote! I am in love! This beautiful tote bag is made from luxurious, soft leather or suede. It is currently available in two sizes; mini and medium. They are both fabulous, and when it comes time for me to choose, I am not sure which size I will go with!

The mini Khaite Lotus Tote is soft and squishy. It is the perfect size to fit everyday purse essentials, and Khaite has created it in leather and suede. The color choices are neutral with a pale blue suede offered as well as a light navy blue in suede Ugh, they are gorgeous!

In addition, the medium sizes Lotus Tote by Khaite is equally fabulous. It too is available in neutrals and blues, leather or suede. The medium offers a larger tote capacity allowing you carry everything and the kitchen sink.

Both sizes offer that slouchy look and are made with high quality fabrications and craftsmanship. So, it is not surprising why the Khaite Lotus Tote is hot on the streets. This tote bag is popular among fashion insiders, and anyone who appreciates a well-made, investment handbag they can wear year after year. This is truly an heirloom item.

Khaite is an amazing designer brand founded in New York in 2016. It has quickly turned into a cult favorite among fashion insiders, the fashion industry, and anyone looking for high quality, investment items. Thier chic, timeless vibe can be felt beyond the handbag collection and throughout the entire collection. If you are not familiar with Kahite, I highly recommend checking out their entire collection. It is fabulous.

I love a striped sweater! I also love flare jeans. Together, they are the perfect go-to outfit for the fall and winter seasons. Love!

This fabulous sweater is made by Margaret O’Leary, a local San Francisco designer who designs and creates investment pieces to cherish forever. What I love about this sweater is that it is comfortable, extremely well-made, and fits perfectly. I cannot stop wearing it!

Of course, an investment sweater needs to be paired with an investment handbag. This black shoulder bag is another favorite of mine. I love that Mulberry works hard to keep their manufacturing process sustainable and their materials sourcing ethical. In addition, they use the highest quality leather on the market while keeping their price points at an affordable luxury level. Love that!
