The wonderful thing about a Mimi Berry handbag is their versatility. And their style. Because you’ll recognise a work by marvellous Mimi when you see one. Known for their sleek, clean aesthetic and utilitarian shapes, they’re meticulously crafted to meet modern needs; for work, for the shops, for the kids’ bits and bobs… they’re functional yet fabulous at the same time, with new shapes introduced each season in a stunning array of vibrant colours and sumptuous, soft leathers. But the hallmark of Mimi Berry bags lies in their exceptional craftsmanship. Using only the finest materials, each piece is proudly made right here in little old England. With Mimi’s close relationships developed with factories in London and the Midlands, these pieces are as thoughtfully made as they are designed, and you feel that in every stitch.
Every Mimi Berry bag lovingly handcrafted in those factories uses the finest naturally vegetable-tanned leather. “What is vegetable-tanned leather?!” we hear you cry. Well, this traditional, environmentally friendly dying process allows Mimi Berry to showcase the leather in its most natural and beautiful state, retaining the unique flaws and markings of the animal skin. The vegetable tanning process, a craft passed down through generations, takes about 5-12 weeks to complete, but trust us, it’s worth the wait.
Because the quality of vegetable-tanned leather improves with age, the bags develop a unique patina over time. That means no two Mimi Berry bags will ever look or feel the same, each one growing and evolving with its owner… with you. Everywhere you take your bag, memories are etched into the bag’s DNA, making it all the more special with each outing. The slight variations in thickness, colour, and texture of the leather are where the magic lies and are a testament to the authenticity, craftsmanship and personality infused into every piece.
From bright, bold accessories to timeless handbags you’ll tote about time and time again, we promise a Mimi Berry piece of unparalleled quality and style. Trust us; we’ve been fans for a while now.
