The Limited Edition Julie Verhoeven for Mulberry Handbag
If you happened to check out the Mulberry site then you might have noticed there is a new collaboration project out and ready for the picking. Last season Mulberry worked with Giles Deacon for the
limited edition punk chic handbag line, now for the fall-winter 2007 season Mulberry has teamed up with the illustrious illustrator Julie Vernhoeven to create a vibrant collection that will make people re-think the term “Classic British”.
“The Brief was to be both vibrant and bold and a little cheeky.. We worked around the traditional English rose icon with the thorny surprises – surrealist and nonsense elements thrown into the mix. English eccentricities and traditions gone a little askew, but with fondness and femininity.” - Julie Verhoeven on the Mulberry Handbag Collaboration.
Pictured above is one of the bags available in the collaboration project. It’s the super lightweight canvas tote with the Julie Verhoeven print on each side – a girl with rose red colored hair with a rose leaf in mouth and on the other side a grey and white print of a spoon with a rose bud. This handbag also features leather straps and an interior painted in hot bright purple. Discover it at
mulberry where it retails for around $300.
