This is a 100% authentic Mulberry Cara Delevingne Medium Sized Backpack in Khaki Green Camo Printed Goat Leather with Shiny Gold Hardware.
Made in England. This uber cool, three-in-one design unites Mulberry’s English attitude to beautiful practicality & the inimitable personality of British model Cara Delevingne.
Crafted from a beautifully matte and grainy, lightly waxed goatskin printed with the classic camouflage pattern, its supple but strong, soft but robust and a bag you'll never need to baby.
This is how Mulberry described the Cara Family - "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.”
A much lovelier bag in the flesh than a listing of her wear makes her sound.....and the extensive photos below make her look!
Condition - Well Used
Details -
This beautiful Cara has been left to languish for far too long! Stored without stuffing she'll lie completely flat when empty and will only just about stand when placed upright.
Surface impressions to her hide where she's rested on the snap hooks in storage, (as shown below), there's very little actual wear to the leather, just general softening and creasing so you'll need to add in a firm Felt Liner if you prefer a more structured look.
A rub to the rear of the bag, on the RH side of the Tree Embossed frame, corners are excellent and stitching is tight throughout.
The top handles are well shaped though they will naturally flop downwards when not held together by the buckled strap,
Inking, (edge sealant) displays flex cracks to the handle bases with wear to the flap inlets. There are flex cracks to the inking at the back of the flaps side, a little around the top aperture and to the sides of the loops that house the rears upper middle D ring and the Mulberry Tree embossed disc, though all are much less visible to the naked eye.
The Postmans Lock Plate is bright and shiny with a number of light surface scratches and some finish loss to the lower area. The underside plate displays contact scratches with dulling to the perimeter and there is similar contact scratching and finish loss loss to the base plate.
There is crazing to the RH sides D ring and all four of the domed base feet. Crazing is a surface deteriation to the metalware which appears like a shattered mirror. Barely visible to the naked eye, it does not affect use in any way.
The two, black, webbed straps display creasing with surface ruffling and bobbling. The end snap hooks are without wear.
Lined in clean, ruffled oxblood suede with areas of flattening to the pile and couple of small marks, next to the Cara's Heart patch and Lion Head Rivet. The inner zip pocket is lined in clean, thick, black cotton linen.
Made in England 2015.
