Both Mulberry and Tanner Krolle, two classic English accessory houses, have undergone serious renovations in the past few years with new investors, creative directors and younger, hipper images. The result: celebrities and trendsetters like Julia Roberts, Scarlett Johansson and Victoria Beckham are snapping up their pretty pastel-colored totes, particularly the "Roxy" and "Queenie." Newer to the market is London-based designer Luella Bartley, whose eyelet- and buckle-festooned "Gisele" bag is a favorite of Kate Moss.
At an average price of $800, all three bags are as practical as they are glamorous: roomy enough for the beach and sophisticated enough for the boardroom.
