Megs as well as I have had our eyes on the Mulberry Zigzag bag ever considering that it came down the runway in a number of sizes as well as colors back in February, as well as now that it’s offered at retail, we have some choosing to do. Namely, which version is the best? Are they all best? Does the meaning of the word “best” inherently preclude them from all being best? These are the concerns of our times.

For expediency’s sake, we’ve narrowed it down to just two versions of the Zigzag: the medium black one with multicolor studs as well as the big ivory one with tonal studs. At first, my instincts told me to opt for the black version. It’s extremely similar in color structure as well as feel to my cherished Proenza Schouler PS1, as well as I bring that bag quite much everyday – I don’t understand what might be a much better endorsement. On top of that, I like the utilize of multicolor studs; instead of a flat textile or painted leather, enameled studs on a contrasting leather color produce a three-dimensional pattern of sorts, especially when utilized in a repetitive way across a bag like these are. quite good, right?

But what of the bag’s lovely, somewhat larger, substantially paler sister? The tonal leather as well as enameled studs feel cleaner to me, a lot more modern. The bag feels even a tad futuristic, like it was made completely out of some type of space-age ceramic. I’d never, ever encourage using it with dark denim (the color transfer!), however if you’re prone to garments that won’t rub dye, I’d absolutely select the white version. Which one do you prefer?
