If you were tuned into the Y2K It-bags, this name will spark instant fashion memory: Roxanne. Worn by Kate Moss, Alexa Chung, and Mary-Kate Olsen back when low-rise jeans ruled and eyeliner went unapologetically bold, this Mulberry leather shoulder bag was pure obsession. It was loved, hunted, and treasured. This Fall, Roxanne is back, reclaiming its spot as the ultimate It-bag.
The OG Roxanne carried that rebellious slouch and hidden architecture: 44 individual pattern pieces, sewn together by expert hands. Buckles, straps, and attitude—punk without shouting, luxury without trying. The perfect balance of craftsmanship and style, it captured the essence of the 2000s. With the Y2K revival in full swing, its comeback feels inevitable.
For 2025, Mulberry isn’t just hitting repeat—it’s reworking the script. On one side, The Roxanne and Small Roxanne hold onto their 2004 DNA: iconic proportions, signature hardware, that tension between structure and ease. Both can be worn on the shoulder or crossbody, because in today’s world, functionality is part of luxury.
But there are fresh twists built for a faster agenda. The Roxanne Shoulder Bag and the Mini Roxanne Shoulder Bag slim things down: lighter, more compact, perfect for those who want the look without the weight. They keep Mulberry’s codes—noble textures, refined finishes, statement hardware—while pushing them into hyper-wearable formats that transition seamlessly from morning coffee to evening plans.
The color palette is fully Fall-ready: think deep browns, sleek blacks, perhaps a bottle green or a burgundy glowing under afternoon light. Shades that anchor wardrobes and pair with wool, leather, denim, or that jacket you pull out every September.
Why does this return matter? Because Roxanne embodies an idea of honest luxury: visible craftsmanship (those 44 pieces don’t hide), design with a clear voice, and an attitude that ages gracefully. It’s fashion with memory, yes—but also with presence. It works with bodycon tees and pencil skirts, with sharp blazers and tall boots, with wide-leg jeans and a borrowed men’s shirt. It works because it has personality.
If you’re looking for an investment piece with history that won’t just sit on a shelf, this is your sign. Roxanne is back to remind us that a bag can be a statement, a style map, and a manifesto for how we want to dress now: unhurried, intentional, with pieces that speak for us.
The full lineup—The Roxanne, Small Roxanne, Roxanne Shoulder Bag, and Mini Roxanne Shoulder Bag—is now available in seasonal colorways. Head over to Mulberry’s website and see how the most iconic It-bag of the 2000s is rewriting its story in 2025.
