In my recent online adventures, I came across the NOVICA handbags site, and I was pleasantly surprised by what I found there.

Ahhh, Mulberry. Classic and classy accessories with roots in Somerset, England – one of the most beautiful places on earth. I’ve written before about the lovely Bayswater, but Mabel definitely deserves a mention too.

This bag is another rockin’ design from Belen Echandia. I wrote about my love for the Love Me style a few months ago, and BE has done it again with Hug Me.
