There’s only one problem with the Mulberry Grape Margaret Mini Bag, as far as I can see: It’s not named after me. No, creative director Emma Hill, whose genius has made Mulberry one of the most sought-after labels in the world, chose Princess Margaret as the inspiration for this chic bag instead. It does make sense; she was a bawdy sort of gal whose risque behavior was at great odds with her more refined sister, Queen Elizabeth II, and the bag’s design is similarly spirited and playful.

At first glance, this is simply a luxurious, must-have bag bathed in delicious, touchable purple suede – and that would be more than enough, but Mulberry ensured that Margaret would forever stand out in the crowd with the addition of a striking gold medallion on the flap. It consists of a circular emblem, flanked on both sides by a small resting bulldog. One balances a teapot on his head; the other, a cupcake. At the very top of the emblem sits a crown, and just below that, this meaningful prose: “We believe in tea and cake.”

Margaret is available in several other variations, although this style is perfect if you prefer something demure and just spacious enough for your everyday basics. There’s also a shoulder bag and clutch, and all are available in a variety of colors, ranging from lilac to black. Luxurious, chic and timeless, the Mulberry Margaret lineup is destined to be a favorite for years to come. Find the Grape Margaret Mini Bag for $805 at StyleBop.
