Review of Mulberry Holiday 2023 Accessories Campaign by Photographer Esther Theaker with models Okay Kaya and Bibi Abdulkadir
Mulberry looks forward to the season of giving with a new campaign celebrating the launch of two new statement handbag silhouettes. The campaign was shot in the British countryside by photographer Esther Theaker.
The campaign introduces two new bag styles that carry forward Mulberry’s signature craft approach and aesthetic: the Lana, a sleek and structured silhouette that comes in tophandle, clutch, and crossbody iterations, and the Pimlico, which takes inspiration from the quintessential British satchel. Both are made with certified carbon-neutral leather.
Theaker’s campaign imagery finds next-generation musician Okay Kaya and model Bibi Abdulkadir communing with nature in the British countryside. Long grass, ivy-colored trees, and tranquil streams provide a lush and textural counterpoint to the sculptural character of the star pieces. Meanwhile, the styling by Eliza Conlon makes intriguing use of material and color to both lean into and juxtapose with the natural setting.
A straightforward yet lush showcase of Mulberry’s new classics, the campaign is another strong example of the brand’s deft ability to balance whimsicality with down-to-earth style.
