Ok so FASHION GENIUS is the collection designed by Mulberry made for Apple, not just for me. But there are a few pieces I feel were taken from my imagination when I first held my MacBook Pro in my hands.
I was given my first piece of Mulberry at 16, a delivery to the door with a note from a cousin saying this is for your car keys. She didn't know the driving age had gone to 17, (there are quite a few years between us), so for a year I had with my house keys a lovely red leather heart key chain until I transferred it onto my first set of car keys, and I have been a lover of the label ever since.
Mulberry have created the collection based on their favourite Mulberry bags, for Apple's best sellers – the MacBook, MacBook Pro, iPhone, iPod, and iPod Nano. Laptop bags, laptop sleeves and mini cross-body bags for the iPhone make up the nine piece collection. Mulberry icons like the Bayswater for women and the Brynmore for men, retain their coveted exteriors; but inside, the bags have been enhanced with features like padded laptop sections, phone and music player pockets and eyelet holes for headphone access.
My favourites:
Ink Blue 'Bayswater' mini messenger for iPhone £150
Neon Pink Patent 'Daria' Laptop Sleeve for Sabina (13 inch MacBook) £350
White patent 'Bayswater' sleeve (13 inch MacBook) £350
Black 'Daria' Laptop Tote £595
Deciding to do the collaboration was a no-brainer for Mac fanatic Emma Hill, Mulberry's Creative Director. "Apple products are too beautiful to reside in drab bags! Apple and Mulberry share a legacy of craftsmanship and I'm thrilled that we were asked to be Apple's first luxury collaboration," says Hill.
Prices range from £150 - £750.
My Apple products are so important to my work and they deserve to be wrapped in the best, which is Mulberry. And when I leave them in the office, I will still have a fab bag for whatever I chose.
The bags will be available on Apple's European website http://www.apple.com/euro/store/ and Mulberry stores on November 1st and on www.mulberry.com from December 1st.
