Mulberry gave us a preview of their Spring 2009 collection yesterday. This is the first collection by new creative director Emma Hill who took over from Stuart Vevers (now at Loewe).

As it's a fresh start (and spring) she opted for plenty of bright, fresh colours including yellow, blue and fuschia. She also used a range of lightweight fabrics including a gorgeous light cracked leather for a purple jacket which is sure to become a must-have.

Whilst most of the handbags were variations on existing iconic bag styles (including a smaller version of the Mabel) there were new additions including the Jenah (d-clasp) and the Mitzy (slouchy with gold button detail).

Most of the talk on leaving the presentation was about the footwear which has definitely become a new focus for the brand. There were cute brightly coloured ankle boots, stacked heel loafers and boots with buckle detail.
