If there’s one thing in which the Mulberry brand excels, it’s simplicity. And we can always get behind simplicity.

If you’ve always admired the understated look of Mulberry’s womenswear, you can appreciate that they incorporate this sentiment into their handbag lines. The Alexa Bag is a perfect example. If you’re a fan of the chic professionalism of the brand’s Elkington briefcase and the classic minimalism of their Bayswater bag, you’re in luck. The Alexa bag combines elements of both those bags to create the perfect combination of a handbag and a briefcase.

The mix of these elements—the foldover buckles, plaited leather handle, and crossbody strap—create a satchel that is both professional and fashionable. In other words, you can take it to the office and bring it shopping on the way home. The crossbody strap makes it the perfect go-everywhere bag that’s great for travel, when you’re likely to be saddled with luggage and need free hands, not to mention a reliable carry-on that’s not a hassle to carry.

There’s a few sizes to choose from, but we’re in love with the oversized version with woven trim, which is sure to be a great travel companion. We have our eye on the medium-sized satchel for those long days at the office. It’s like a more feminine briefcase—because you may be a working girl, but you’re also a girl.

Lastly, if you’re looking for a color you’re not likely to find in other brands—go for the emerald. It’s the perfect combination of green and teal that still manages to be versatile.
