Mulberry Mini Cara Delevingne Backpack in Oxblood Coloured Vegetable Tanned Leather

This is an unused 100% authentic Mulberry Mini Cara Delevingne Backpack in Oxblood Coloured Vegetable Tanned Leather with Shiny Gold Hardware.

So hard to now find unused, this divine mini Cara has been stored since purchase.

Crafted in England from Mulberrys finest, coloured NVT hide in a rich, deep, Morello Cherry / Berry Burgundy shade, its a leather that just gets better and better with age and use. 

This is how Mulberry describe the Cara - "The Cara Delevingne Bag is a three-in-one style, uniting Mulberry’s English attitude to beautiful practicality and the inimitable personality of British model Cara Delevingne. Designed to take you anywhere, it can be worn on the back, shoulder or carried hand-held. The bags are made in England at Mulberry’s factories in Somerset and this is proudly stamped on the bottom of each bag, inspired by Cara’s own made in England tattoo on the sole of the foot. Cara wanted each bag to be like opening a letter with a lovely surprising touch. Inside you can find a small lion rivet and a heart shaped patch based on Cara’s own heart tattoo. Cara said: “I want there to be hidden gems inside, based on things that are personal to me, which my tattoos definitely are.”

Details -

Absolutely stunning, this fabulous piece has never been carried......only lovingly cared-for and admired.

A particularly attractive example of Mulberry's original Natural Vegetable Hide. Thick and robust, its strong and holds its shape well, only relaxing and softening with use and time. Oodles of character and the promise of that glorious gloss developing, that only the older pieces acquired.

Protective film in place on all lockplates, Collonil Waterstop Spray has been used to protect the piece from UV fade, so these appear a little cloudy, (the metalware beneath is perfect).

Collonil Leather Cream has also been used to nourish the hide on the top handles only However, this has left a white residue* which has produced a slightly lighter appearance. I have not attempted to remove or restore, however this has been reflected in the price.

Cardboard storage protectors for handles are present, though not employed for display purposes so there are the commonly seen surface impressions to the top flap from the handle base inserts, with a surface colour rub to the rear, LH side's, as shown. A light surface colour rub to the front RH sides handle front, just above the hanging cloche's loop.

A few small surface impressions and very light fingernail scuffs to the hide on curve of the top flap, as shown. These form an entirely normal feature of this hide, (and anticipate acquiring many more with use!). With use, care and time they all blend to form the utterly amazing character of a classic NVT finish.

Self lined suede interior, the top flap displays minor natural horizontal flattening to the nap where it rests over the top aperture. There is light, diagonal scratch to the interior's leather trim on the inner, front RH side.
