Today, Mulberry is one of the most popular Handbag and Accessories brands in the UK and at Handbag Clinic the Bayswater is one of our most requested bags.

Although compared to likes of Chanel and Louis Vuitton, Mulberry is fairly new to the luxury market but counterfeit handbags are frequently produced with the Bayswater, Alexa and the now discontinued Roxanne being the most counterfeited styles. In all of the below images the authentic Mulberry is pictured on the right hand side.

At Handbag Clinic each Mulberry is carefully assessed by our team of experts, this is what our team look for in each Mulberry bag:- Leather and Lining Although Mulberry make a wide range of bags many Mulberry bags are made from grained, thick calf leather that makes them sturdy, durable, and structured. Not all Mulberry bags are lined and the lining can vary between the styles of bags. For example, the classic Bayswater regularly doesn’t feature a lining simply shows the raw suede inside the bag. Some bags such as the Alexa will have a plain canvas lining, while others may have a fabric lining that is printed with the mulberry tree logo. The important thing to look for with Mulberry is the quality of the material used even though this varies from style to style. Stitching and Edging As with all bags stitching can also be an indicator of authenticity.

Counterfeit handbags will often have thick, uneven and messy stitching. The stitching on an authentic Mulberry will be straight and each stitch is the same size throughout. The edging around handles and the edges of the leather will also be neat and consistent, many counterfeit bags have messy edging which varies in width throughout the bag.

Many counterfeit bags feature a font that is thinner and slightly askew. An authentic Mulberry handbag will have a branding stamp that is thick, straight and even. The back of the front plate which is regularly used on a Mulberry Bayswater will also be secures with flat head screws. Many counterfeits use a different, probably cheaper screw to secure the plate.

Made In Although Mulberry used to produce all of its leather goods in England this is no longer the case. As the Mulberry Factory in England is running at full capacity in recent years the brand has started outsourcing some of its production to places like China and Turkey. Today, only about 30% of Mulberry bags are actually produced in England so it is common to see a “made in China” or “made in Turkey” tag inside a newer Mulberry bag. Heat Stamping and Brass Disc All Mulberry bags comes with a leather tab heat-stamped with its logo as well as an attached metal disc engraved with the iconic Mulberry tree.
