Now I don’t know about you, but I’m not the biggest fan of Valentine’s Day. Personally, I prefer to make a big fuss over Pancake Day. But in the spirit of love (and because I was never going to be inundated with flowers), I thought I’d treat the person I love the most. Me. To a little something just because I wanted to. So if you want to see what that is, here is the Valentine’s gift I got myself. The Mulberry V&A Coin Purse.
This is the limited edition Mulberry | V&A collection in celebration of their exhibition ‘Bags: Inside Out’. An exhibition that I was meant to attend in January but of course was cancelled. This capsule collection of leather goods and a bag scarf was inspired by a 20th-century floral fabric held in the museum’s archive. The end result is this gorgeous signature print which comes in rosewater or black.
As you can see I went for the rosewater option in this coin purse. Now I will admit, I was a little late to the party on this. The collection featured Alexa’s in this print, which sold out pretty much as soon as they launched. But if you’re looking to buy something from this limited edition collection, then do what I did and buy it from the V&A website. Not only do they have stock of the Darley, credit card slips, and the bag scarf. But if you sign up for their newsletter – you get a special code for 10% off their shop. Which can be used on the Mulberry collection!
My coin purse was originally £165 but I managed to save 10% and receive free shipping from using the code. It came in the Mulberry box, as you can see. And well worth doing, if you wanted to grab yourself the Darley. You could save a huge £97!
I have to admit I’ve never had a coin purse before. But since it’s arrived, I’ve used it non stop. It’s so much easier to take with me, rather than my YSL card holder. Not only can I fit so many cards in there (I was limited to 4 with the YSL card holder). But I can also add my car key and change if I want to as well.
So this was the Valentine’s gift I got myself. The Mulberry V&A Coin Purse. Did anyone else buy themselves a little treat for Valentine’s Day? Let me know in the comments. And also, what you think of this limited edition collection between Mulberry and the V&A?
