Mulberry Limited Edition Cara Medium with Lion & Heart Rivets in Oxblood Silky Classic Calf Leather

This is a 100% authentic Mulberry Cara Delevingne (Medium Sized) Backpack with Lion & Heart Rivets in Oxblood Silky Classic Calf Leather with Shiny Gold Hardware.

A heart feature, multi pocket, Felt Liner is also included in the sale.

A three-in-one style, uniting Mulberrys English attitude to beautiful practicality and the inimitable personality of British model Cara Delevingne, this limited realease, multi-way backpack is adorned with fabulous little lion heads & heart rivets.

Crafted from a very thick, smooth calfskin, it's strong, supple and bag you won't feel you need to baby.

From the highly celebrated 2014 capsule collection, this is how Mulberry described the Cara - "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.” Mulberry.com.

Details -

An inherently supple design, it's gently softened from use with a curvy silhouette, rounded 'hips', charcterful creasing and a slight forward lean when empty. The inclusion of the felt liner provides the more upright look and provides additional organisation to the interior.

The top handles will naturally fall downwards if not held or the buckled 'stay' is in place and there is a small catch, (from a claw set ring,) to the top of the rear handle.

A number of very light, fingernail scuffs to the surface of the hide throughout, all shown, there's very little actual wear whatosever.

Minor rubbing to the black inking, (edge sealant) at the base's rear, RH corner curve, (the remainder of the inking is excellent,) and a couple of very light colouration scuffs to the hide on the front, LH sides corner curve.

The main reason for the Condition Rating is due to the surface impressions to the hide where the bag has rested on the shoulder straps in storage. Two diagonal ones to the base, one to the rear, upper RH side, one to the rear, upper middle of the flaps curve and a cluster to the LH side of the top flaps curve. The rear top handle has also rested on the straps and there are two shallow impressions to the inking on the inner side, (locations circled.)

The two, wide leather shoulder straps display waviness from storage, (will even quickly with use,) sit impressions where the movable buckles have been set and there is a light fingernail scratch to one end.

The front Postmans Lock Plate is bright, shiny and without visible surface scratches, The underside plates display contact scratches to their perimeters from resting together and there is friction scratching to the turnlock sides, though this is invisible to the naked eye. Similarly, the surface scratches to the rivets are only identifiable under magnification.

Base feet and D rings are excellent and the Mulberry disc retains its original plastic film to both sides.

The interior is self lined in entirely clean suede with a linen textile lined zip pocket and two slip pockets.
