Sometimes when I pick a bag to write about, I know Im asking for trouble. I dont mind the disagreement, though - I possess that rare and endearing quality of always thinking Im right, no matter what (that IS endearing, right? No? Oh). So I present, without fear, the Mulberry Metallic Croc Print Bayswater. Super shiny? Yes, it is. Stamped with an exotic texture? Yes, that too. Too big to pull it off? Probably, but I really like it anyway, and you cant convince me otherwise.

Despite the fact that its texture is mirror-slick and not distressed like the metallics I usually prefer, the fact that they used a gunmetal silver instead of a bright, blue-based silver is really winning me over. The texture reminds me of a much less expensive, much more useful version of the Balenciaga Metallic Crocodile Wristlet weve talked about recently. Id choose the Bal in a second, but since I dont think my credit card limit is that high, the Mulberry version seems like a fun substitute that might actually hold some of my stuff.
