Mulberry
There is something reassuring about a Mulberry bag. Made by a house with deep roots in the Somerset countryside, it is designed to be carried hard and loved for years, softening and darkening as it goes. Our Mulberry edit favours pieces with exactly that easy, lived-with character.
Every Mulberry piece passes through our studio before it joins the shop. Our specialists look at the leather and how it has aged, the stitching and edges, the weight and finish of the buckles, zips and postman's locks, and the tree logo and interior markings, confirming that each fits the model and era. Wear to corners, handles and straps is described honestly and photographed.

Caring for Soft Buffalo
Soft Buffalo is meant to relax. Keep it out of heavy rain, store it lightly filled so the flap keeps its line, and let the patina develop naturally.
A British classic
Mulberry has made many of its bags in Somerset, and they carry a certain countryside ease. Our Mulberry pieces suit days that start with a commute and end somewhere quite different.
If you are choosing between the two, the Alexa is the everyday bag and the pouch the companion for lighter days.
Encore Luxe is an independent retailer of authenticated pre-loved luxury and is not affiliated with Mulberry.
