Recently we reported that Business Week has heralded Mulberry as the best performing fashion house after the success of their much-loved bag, The Alexa, but the question on our mind was what next for the brand and now we know.

Have a look at the Carter - the new bag that we will all be coveted for the next few seasons. The bag has already been spotted on Kate Bosworth and comes with double lock detailing in styles like embossed snake, suede, patent leather and nappa in an assortment of styles and colours all featuring a classic chain handle. "I'm so thrilled with Carter," Emma Hill told Vogue.com. "It's a new family and it's very much Mulberry-girl-grows-up. The autumn/winter 2011 season is a twist on the classically English countryside, and Carter is just the kind of bag that you can take from town to a country-house weekend."

In the interview Hill seemed confident that the Carter could reach the cult-like status of the Alexa. "What we've ended up with is a new must-have bag, and one that fits perfectly with our quintessentially British sense of quirky style," she explained. "We really hope you love it too!"
