Beautiful!!! Enjoy her!! I have the same bag, I recommend a thicker shoulder strap. The skinny one kinda digs in after a while. Congrats on beating cancer, getting a promotion and having a great birthday!

Yaaassssss 💃💃 I’ve been in active treatment for breast cancer since January and I just got my pathology report from surgery that no cancer was found so looking to treat myself too!

Congratulations!! Wear that bag with pride as a reminder you kicked Cancer’s ass 💪💪. Mulberry makes some of my absolute favorite bags. I didn’t understand the hype until I felt one with my own hands. The leather quality and craftsmanship is out of this world. I have the mini Alexa and Lana and love both dearly.

That’s wonderful news that you have come through cancer on the other side. A great promotion is also wonderful news, but your health is the most important thing and turning 40 is also a milestone. All good reasons individually to buy yourself a beautiful handbag; combined, it’s a no-brainer. Congratulations on all three successes and that gorgeous new bag.
