Beautiful and well-maintained
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
This classic Mulberry Tote is crafted in brown Congo leather and combines timeless design with the distinctive embossed texture for which the Congo range is renowned.
Dating from Mulberry’s classic era, the model reflects the understated and functional design philosophy that has made Mulberry a favourite among handbag enthusiasts for decades.
Congo leather is recognised for its distinctive croc-embossed texture, which gives the bag a refined and characterful appearance. Over time, the leather develops a beautiful patina, and this particular bag has acquired a rich depth of colour and warmth that is especially appreciated by collectors and long-time Mulberry enthusiasts.
For many years, Congo leather formed an important part of Mulberry’s collections and remains highly regarded for its distinctive texture, durability, and ability to develop a unique patina over time. Production of Congo leather ceased many years ago, making well-preserved examples increasingly difficult to find today.
The bag features long shoulder straps, making it comfortable to carry over the shoulder, even when wearing a coat or jacket.
It is fitted with an original Swiss-made Riri zip, a quality detail frequently found on Mulberry’s earlier premium models.
Inside, the bag is lined with Mulberry’s classic tartan lining and offers a spacious main compartment with ample room for everyday essentials.
The iconic Mulberry tartan lining is one of the details many enthusiasts particularly associate with the brand’s earlier production years.
Its simple and elegant design makes the bag equally suitable for everyday use and work, while maintaining the distinctive Mulberry character.
The bag retains its original details, including the original Riri zip, the classic Mulberry tartan lining, and the original hardware.
