Mulberry Islington – the bucket bag with Postman’s Lock
Mulberry Islington has a soft bucket shape, a distinctive belt detail and Mulberry’s signature Postman’s Lock at the front. It is a bag for those who love the classic Mulberry lock, but want a softer shape for everyday use.
At Viclara you will find Islington Bucket and Mini Islington in the variants you see on the page. Oak, black, Oxblood and suede give the same bag shape very different expressions. We are happy to help with both the size and the leather when you choose online.
A soft shape with structure
On Islington Bucket, a belt runs across the bag’s opening and fastens with the well-known Postman’s Lock. This gives the bag structure without making the silhouette boxy. The soft shape makes it well suited to everyday use, where the bag should feel spacious without resembling a traditional work bag.
The regular Islington Bucket has top handles and a removable, adjustable shoulder strap. You can therefore carry it by hand or crossbody, depending on the day and your outfit. If you prefer a more structured and rectangular shape, you can also see Mulberry Bayswater.
Islington Bucket or Mini Islington?
Mini Islington Bucket brings the same design into a smaller format. It may be relevant if you mainly need to carry your phone, wallet, keys and a few small essentials. The larger model gives more room around the contents and may be better for an ordinary workday or longer days in the city.
In our Oak Two-Tone variant, Mini Islington measures 17 × 18 × 11 cm. It is therefore a compact choice, while the regular Islington Bucket offers more space for everyday essentials. Check the measurements of each variant when comparing. Consider how the bag will be used before choosing. If you would like help comparing size and contents, you are welcome to contact us.
Oak, black and other colours
Small Classic Grain has a fine, grained leather surface. Vintage Oak Suede gives the style a softer expression with the matte finish of suede. It is worth considering whether you want a bag with a distinct leather texture or the special feel of suede.
A Islington in Oak gives the bag a warm and classic expression, while black makes it more understated and easy to pair with the rest of your wardrobe. A coloured version can add more personality to a neutral wardrobe. Also see our brown Mulberry bags and black Mulberry bags if you want to choose by colour.
The material also matters. Small Classic Grain has a textured surface, while other variants may have a different sheen, texture or hand-feel. Always check the product description for the specific bag rather than assuming that all Islington models feel the same.
For the city and the days in between
A bucket bag is practical if you want an open and easy-to-overview space. On the other hand, small items may need a separate pouch so keys and cards do not end up at the bottom of the bag. If you also need room for a laptop, the dimensions and laptop protection are crucial. If you carry a laptop every day, Mulberry laptop bags may be a more targeted place to start.
