The Bayswater
A truly timeless, versatile icon
First introduced in 2003, the Bayswater has become one of our most beloved icons. Designed by Nicholas Knightly, its quiet elegance and effortless practicality reflect our leather craft expertise. Its structured silhouette and signature Postman’s Lock are inspired by our earliest designs from the 1975 Hunting, Shooting, Fishing collection — a timeless thread running through Mulberry’s story.
The Bayswater soon became an icon of early-2000s style, carried by Kate Moss, Jennifer Lopez, and Rihanna, amongst others. Waiting lists soon followed. Two decades on, the very same bag Moss famously carried appeared in the V&A’s Bags: Inside Out exhibition.
The Bayswater family has grown over the years to include styles like the utilitarian Bayswater Tote and the Soft Bayswater. Each one has its own design process, but they’re all united by the same philosophy of creating inherently wearable bags.
In 2023, to mark twenty years of the Bayswater, we asked photographer and filmmaker Ronan McKenzie and friends of the brand – including models Alva Claire and Lily McMenamy – to show us what love looks like, each photographed with a Bayswater and asked, “How do you say I love you?”
In 2025, the Bayswater had its silver screen moment when a pre-loved Chocolate version was heavily featured in the film Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, sported by the titular heroine.
