If you go down to the woods today....

Oh we can only dream to have been at the Mulberry Show, London Fashion Week 2011! It looks and sounded a magic beauty. Mulberyy Autumn/Winter 2011 offered a woodland inspired wonderland, full of furry creatures and clothes to match.

Opening with An English Country Garden and a reading from Road Dahl’s Fantastic Mr Fox, Mulberry transformed Claridges’ Ballroom once again into a magical wild wonderland, this time smothered in pretty moss foliage, birds on branches, furry animals and overhead tweeting.
Every fine detail was themed from the invitation to morning tea, cakes which resembled oversized toadstools  and country juices.

Mulberry is one of Robinsons best selling brands so such a fascinating show has left much inspiration for new window displays and merchandising encorporated in store, creating Robinsons own enchanted woodland.
As the Mulberry handbag is Robinson best seller, reports from the Mulberry show on their bags show the Bayswater has been given poacher-style straps and stud closures to form the Heritage Bayswater satchel. Fox locks have been added to the Alexa (look out for fox face rivets instead of traditional screws) who now has a sister, the Buckle Bag, which takes Alexa’s style and shape but features statement gold hardware. Tillie’s been given a quilted update, and two new families, Taylor and Carter, see the Mulberry girl grow up with easy sophisticated shapes.

London Fashion week saw a show that was firmly embedded in Mulberry’s unashamedly English heritage, with a magical twist reminiscent of nostalgic childhood references. True inspiration!
