The Del Rey

It's not every day that when a girl says "my handbag", it does quite literally mean her handbag. Lana Del Rey has now entered that elite club of which the likes of Grace Kelly, Jane Birkin, Jessica Stam and Alexa Chung are already members. It was only three years ago that Mulberry announced that the would make their first bag dedication - following in the footsteps of Hermès and Marc Jacobs - and Alexa Chung was the object of their affection.
After seeing the video of Del Rey's first major hit Video Games, Mulberry's Creative Director Emma Hill apparently proclaimed that she had to meet the girl behind the music. Lana obviously made a good impression.
The bag comes in a range of colours and will be available from May. The lucky Miss Lana is however the only one who will get her paws on the white ostrich skin edition (pictured bottom left) as it was made especially - and exclusively - for her.
Lana was photographed (about five million times I'd say) yesterday sitting front row at Mulberry's A/W 2012 show in London with the bag tucked neatly onto her lap and even at one stage being shown off in all its glory on the floor by her feet. There is absolutely no doubt about the fact that this bag is a reference to the bygone Hollywood glamour that influences Lana's style. It is definitely something that you could imagine Nancy Sinatra carrying in the crook of her elbow: gangster or not.
