My Birthday Weekend Celebration & Present to Myself - Mulberry Amberley Bag

 

It's my birthday! Celebrated with yummy food all weekend long. But before we get to that, I'd like to introduce to you all my new Mulberry bag. Mulberry is considered a premier designer but without the price tag sticker shock. Nowadays, most bags at this level will run you $2000 and up. Mulberry kind of  bridges the pricing between Coach and other premier designers. Mulberry bags start at $650 and up. 

For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall.

This is the Amberley bag in size small. It's a very petite friendly size that fits all of my essentials with some room to spare. I love the minimalist design. The color is the perfect golden brown. The leather is thick and sturdy. This style comes in many different colors, leathers, and sizes. I'm pretty sure there is a perfect combination out there for everyone. I also went for the pebbled leather to minimize scratches and scuffs. This will help keep this bag looking like new.

The shoulder strap is adjustable and I have it on the second shortest length. The strap itself is thin but very sturdy. I've worn this out today and love the feel of it. The hardware is gold but works very well with the brown color. The turnmlock closure works very smoothly. I am really impressed with it. 

This bag reminds me of Celine's Small Besace but without breaking your bank account. Let's take a look at some of the details of the bag.

It does have the word Mulberry printed on at the very top of the bag in small golden letters. So small, I actually don't even notice it's there. The bag does taper at the top so from the side has a triangle shape. 

The craftsman ship and quality is amazing. The stitching is perfect. The pebbled leather is to die for. There is nothing about this bag that I do not like. The price tag is $795 via Nordstrom and I felt it is worth the money.

Even the edge coating is perfect!

Here are some close up photos of the turn lock closure. The metal ring acts as the 'key' and turns to keep the bag closed. When you turn you do feel a click so you know it's closed. It works so smooth it has that feel of luxury. 

The inside is lined with suede. I was actually kind of surprised that this bag didn't have the new leather smell. You all know I love the leather smell. 😆 It fits everything that I need to carry on a daily basis. iPhone 12 Pro, keys, card case, small pouch and my mints. 

Comes with a Mulberry dust bag. I think I'm going to get a lot of use out of this bag for many years to come! I give this bag 5/5 stars.

Here are some photos of my birthday weekend! I got to see a lion dance in-between while getting a mani/pedi and massage. I love lion dances, they are just so cute with the big eyes that bat at you. Plus the way they wiggle around, they just remind me of my cute kitties. And of course, they bring good luck and fortune. 

My office sent me these cute little Bundt mini cakes. So good! My sister sent me Cronuts and my mom sent me macaroons. Seriously, after this weekend I need to go on a fast. I am on a sugar high. 

Saturday night, my husband took me out to my favorite sushi restaurant, MF Sushi. We usually do omakase, but this time we just picked our favorites from the menu. 

Sunday night, I went to my favorite ramen spot. Jinya has the best creamy vegan ramen but they were unfortunately out of it tonight which made me sad, but I improvised and customized my own ramen.

Tofu, Bamboo Shoots, Mushrooms, Spinach, Scallions with an Egg and thick noodles! 

If I look like I put on some weight in my up coming fit reviews, you'll know why! Between Lunar New Year and my birthday, it's been a couple of weeks of heavy eating. 😂 That's it for me! Hope you all have a great start to a new week!
