MULBERRY x REJINA PYO BLENHEIM HANDBAG

Korea’s influence permeates every aspect of life in the western world, including fashion. British heritage brand Mulberry has launched a limited-edition collection designed with Seoul-born, London-based Rejina Pyo. Its ready-to-wear, bags and other luxury accessories fuse Mulberry’s signature material-first luxury with Pyo’s clean-cut yet playful sensibility. A particular highlight is this pared-back take on the iconic Blenheim handbag, which incorporates Pyo’s recognisable knotted closure. This line has K-Brit style well and truly in the bag. £995 from MULBERRY.
