- Hello Everyone!
As promised here is my year on review of my Mulberry Bayswater. I bought this bag in November 2013 and only began using it after Christmas day 2013 (it was a Christmas present from me to me) I have used the bag everyday since I bought it and love love love it still!
A few people have asked how it has worn so here it is, a review and what's in my bag.
My first review of the bag in March 2014: • Mulberry Bayswater Rev...

You go girl!!! You worked hard for that purchase, and you deserve it. Don't need to justify such a good quality bag!
I love your review. It's nice to see and hear someone really love and use their bags. Bags should be loved and used as a bag, not a museum piece. I'm glad to find your review today. :)
You don't need to justify your purchase Alice! It's a beautiful bag and if you wanted it and got your hard worked money for it that's your choice on what you spend it on, and it's no ones business but your's anyway. Loved this video, great bag and really helpful actually ;) Xx
Love how you love and use your bag. I got a pre-loved one yesterday and can't wait to use it.Thank you for the video!
Babe, anyone that tells you that, you tell them that no one "cured" world hunger with $1,000 bucks. People only say things because they are jealous, and are trying to make you feel guilty/bad. People need to grow the hell up. You work for your money, I don't hear them telling you that you should be ashamed because you buy food and there are people dying of hunger. No, because they do it too, so they don't feel the need to be jealous. This is a lifestyle piece, and it is exquisite. Thank you for sharing your Mulberry pieces, I am planning on making some purchases soon myself, and your reviews are so very helpful. Also, you are beautiful!!
GREYLILY thank you so much! What do you think you’ll treat yourself to mulbs wise? I agree with you on the world hunger front, you can only do what you can do but to someone what you can do will never be enough.
Thank you for watching xx
@@AliceChidgey That is exactly right. I am definitely getting the A6 postman's lock agenda ( I am a planner :) and also the Darley cosmetic pouch, the 12 card zip wallet (purse) or the French purse (I can't decide between the 2). And a BIG wishlist item is the Heritage Bayswater. I cannot wait!!!
Mulberry is addictive isn't it! Such beautiful bags. Have you tried Colonil on your lovely Bays? They do a Waterstop spray which protects the oak nvt from watermarks, and a gel to nourish the leather. Woly leather cream in Tan will restore the drier areas of your bag such as the corners - it's brilliant for restorating colour and nourishing the leather. Also rubbing scratches gently with your bag's dustbag will polish them out easily. Finally, Lord Sheraton leather cream will remove colour transfer.
Love your video! 💕
I’m really glad found your videos. Love how detailed your reviews are. Thank you.
I'm in love with that bag!!
You're just the cutest person ever. Loved the review. Very down to earth and honest.
Thanks for the review. Your Bayswater looks gorgeous! I really like how you enjoy using the bag and let it develop its own characteristics. I also got my black NVT Bayswater a year ago and I also carry lunch and sometimes groceries in it :P
I gave in and bought this exact bag in NVT leather, in the colour Oak. Brand new one. I just couldn’t resist! It’s beautiful! I love it so much! ❤
That bag is gorgeous and so worth it!
I loved your video :) thank you for sharing! I just got my own Bayswater a couple of days ago, and I can't wait to see how it will look as time goes by! :D
I’ve just got a pre loved bay water mulberry bag in brown I’ve been watching your videos before I got it you made my mind up to get one and I’m loving it so thank you for helping me love you videos 👍❤️
Thank you so much for doing this video as I really would love to buy this bag. I want a bag that is leather and shows wear and tear as I think it is beautiful. Not everyone will agree but leather tells a story to me.
Agreed!
Excellent review--I love the detail! It's very helpful!
Oh, and it's also so nice to see someone who is actually using the bag -- really USING it -- like every single day. It also says to me that the weight must be bearable if you haven't given up yet ;)
I'm planning on buying the oxblood version at the end of the year. Does it bother you that the bag isn't lined? And do you treat it with leather polish or something?
I know exactly what you mean when you talk about cost per wear. I think it's nice to buy investment pieces if you know you're going to be using it a lot. I just bought the small Bayswater satchel and I'm absolutely smitten with it, haha 👜❤️
Have u tried leather cleaners and conditioners to help keep the leather in good shape? Also, fyi, I did a baby powder trick to pull up an oil stain on a leather bag a few years ago and although it took a while it pulled the oil stain from my pale grey leather bag.
Thanks Alice, that was really informative and I love how your bag has aged gracefully rather than just appearing worn like cheaper bags do. I finally bought my Lily which I'm thrilled with! A lovely everyday bag for when I'm not carrying much x
Thank you! :) Ahh a Lily! What colour did you go for? I would love to add one to my collection but unsure whether to go for sensible black or a bright pink or orange for a little fun... :| Do you find the chain is painful on your shoulder if you use the back without a coat/jumper? xx
Alice Chidgey I went for the black as I thought it would go best with most of my clothes and I wanted something I'd get the use out of (plus less colour transfer hopefully!) That saying, the bright ones are really great for adding a pop of colour! Chain on the regular is really comfortable, especially if you don't overstuff it. I think the medium would be quite painful on the shoulder simply because there's more bag to fill!! xx
Sorry, crashing in on your conversation :P I have the small lily too in oak, it my was my first mulberry purchase and now I'm seriously considering saving up for the bayswater for work. I love my lily but it's just so small! I don't find the straps painful at all though and it's so classy :)
It’s feels like you are talking about your friend 😁 I’m going to get mine one this year. Thx for sharing.
Great video, I'm so tempted to invest in a bayswater. Pleased to see my planner would fit in with no issues 😄
Love this video, gorgeous bag so tempted to purchase one now but also dying to know where your filofax is from I desperately need one !! :)
Hi Alice, you show your heritage keyring, is it worth the money? Considering getting one as a present for someone but not sure. Faye x
Loved this Alice! I think the bag has aged beautifully and the patina on it is gorgeous. I have the Alexa which I adore and used nearly everyday last year after I bought her but have cut down on using it recently because the corners are getting so scuffed from my locker in work and I don't want further damage, so you're a lot braver tham I am in that regard lol x
Thank you very much! Ohh I love Alexas! HAHA I wouldn't say brave, I find myself wrapping the corners of my coat around my locker as I put my bag in... Horrible things lockers... I'm thinking of trying a leather polish as a moisturiser on my bags corners, see if that might help them out a little, I shall let you know if it helps :D xx
I love designer bags! Well, I would never spend more than 2,000 on a bag. The most expensive bag that I have was 1,300€. With shipping and taxes I think I spend 1,700€ on it. It’s the Givenchy Pandora (brand new one) I got it without tags on eBay. It came with the original dust bag and everything and I love it so much 🥰 I also have the Givenchy Nightingale (preloved) and I recently purchased one that I’ve been wanting for so long! And it’s the Rockstud tote bag from Valentino. I paid 1,133€ for it. I love it!!!❤❤❤❤
And I just ordered a preloved Bayswater off eBay for 300€ - such a bargain! I say that these kind of bags will last forever.
Great in depth video. Do you remember what lipstick you were wearing here? It's lovely x
updaaaaaate❤️😁
I have just got mine for my 18th B-day and I'm really worried because I feel like I never use it! I find it really heavy and now I never take it out. DO you have any advice or recommendations for me?! ps love video xoxox
I think it is sad you have to justify your purchase
Thank you for saying that! I hate doing it really, as everyone works hard for money and has a choice of what to do with it, it's just a shame that some people don't see it that way... Thank you for watching, I hope you enjoyed. :) xx
+Alice Chidgey is the department store John Lewis by any chance? Are you on the graduate scheme?
Thank you for sharing your thoughts about this beautiful💕 💼. I am considering buying bayswater, same as yours but I have read that this bag is too heavy to carry….is this true? What’s your thought on this? Would you recommend this bag, though you said in the video that you are still very happy this about your bag. Can you tell how much this bag weigh when empty. Pls. reply. It will be a huge help🙏🏻
I remember the video you did when you got your bag . Love the way the bag looks now . By the way you had jam in the first video of this bag...
I saw you were at 1999 and I had to subscribe! The review was very detailed to!
Great video! I have a black bayswater and am contemplating an oak too so this is a good insight! :) I use a bag organiser inside mine to maintain structure plus they come with lots of little pockets so you wont have to rely on that one little pocket!
Ohh I did catch myself trying on a Black Bayswater the other day! It's such a classic! I can definitely recommend the Tan, goes with absolutely everything, not oo light for winter use and great in summer where black might be a little heavy. (let me know if you purchase!) :D xx
Fab review! I've had an Alexa for about 4 years and always loved the Bays but couldn't warm to just carrying it by the shoulder straps. I recently bought a (gorgeous blue & rose gold) Large Heritage Bays, which has the shoulder strap and offers the perfect solution. Quick question: do you know if the regular Bays is bigger than the Heritage? Your bag looks much more cavernous than mine..?
Stephanie Ensinger I agree! Or is it just the leather of the bag stretches over time? Mine looks small compared to her.
Love the video alice! Beautiful bag for a beautiful girl ☺️
Is your bag lined or unlined? Coz I dont find it so heavy. Maybe Im just so used to heavy bags lol
Love the bag, great video too! Your voice is so soothing to listen to haha cx Honestly, there's no need to justify why you want to spend so much money on a bag. If other people can't accept this then that's their problem. And I don't find it selfish at all! :)
Hi Alice! I just bought my first Mulberry! Did you use any of the water proof spray prior to use?
Kristina J Maloney Ahhh how exciting! what did you get?? I did use a protector spray when I first got my Bayswater but only once. 3 years (I think) on and it doesn't have any water marks! Love it! :) xxx
whats the point of money if not buy stuff that makes us happy :) nice bag
Yes please update your French purse :) I'm still trying to save for a Bayswater must be four years :( can't get there.. Sob! Great video ...thought I saw you at lakeside but would not be so rude to ask if it was you Lol take care xx
I bought this bag based on your original review. I want to thank you it's the best piece I've ever invested in.
Wow what a compliment! Thank you so much, I'm so glad I helped you to "take the plunge"! What colour did you go for? I'm so glad you love your bag as much as I do mine :D xx
Alice Chidgey mines is the oak with brass hardware like yours. It's pretty perfect but I do have a few scratches on the hardware and I got it last Easter.
hi how much the bag price can please tell me
I'm now thinking about getting a Mulberry purse too.
I can definitely recommend them! I think I got mine 3/4 years ago? And it's still in such good condition! xx
Great review. Love the bag but I found it too heavy for everyday use and wasn't keen on how it slouched. Although mine was much worse than yours is. Are you tempted by any other Mulberry's, bags or purses or any other designers? Would love to know. x
Thank you very much! :) I can definitely agree it's a heavy bag, but that might just be all the things I pack into mine... Ohh tempted is the word! I have fallen for the Kennsington (small) by Mulberry in the black leather... and have always lusted over a Lily as an evening bag, I might need to add one to the collection this year but we shall see... At the moment I am loving Fendi and Saint Laurent bags but they are a whole new price point, so I think those thoughts shall stay as thoughts for now! :) xx
I love it hopefully I can buy in Dubai the owner resale it ❤️👏🏼
Do you not find the bag too heavy?
I've seen two reviews where girls have said it's really heavy. The new ones apparently are very light but not as cute in my opinion.
You shouldn't have to justify yourself or your purchase to anyone! It's up to you what you spend your money on. I hope the people who said you could've "cleared world hunger" are regularly donating to worldwide charities *SMH*!! I have this bag and it's just gorgeous, I would never be without it. Shame they have decided to "modernise" it, it looks terrible, have you seen it? Anyways, continue to enjoy your lovely bag :) xx
LV bags aren't leather, they're coated canvas....
the purse looks cheap and ugly.
Irene Hernandez thats what you call character lol
