What is the obsession with eating banana peel lately?

So funny they're getting up in Jack's niche. Wonder what Dr Rupy made of her when she guested on his podcast?

I imagine most who have worked with Jack make the same of her. Nice, extremely try-hard, awkward, promising the world but producing the bare minimum. Genuinely like when your child creates a big brown tit show on a plate from mixing all the bright coloured paints together and you tell them it looks wonderful because they're two

I don’t think that is the mulberry bag. I can’t think of a style like that with flat sides and a detachable strap. The Alexa has the front buckles but also has pleated sides so it can open up wider. There is no postman’s lock on the front or oak tree plate. The messenger bags have no front buckles. I don’t know all the discontinued bags but also we know she lies.
Either way, it looks rank like it has sat in a puddle of slop.

I agree! I was a Mulberry aficionado for a few years and that bag doesn’t look like any style I know.

Could be a men’s bag I suppose.

I was gonna say 'an investment that she's subsequently ruined?' and then realised that is absolutely on-brand for Jack.

She's such a terrible bleeping spokesperson, could imagine the social media sorts at the companies she buys this stuff from have to steel themselves when they see she's tagged them. She reminds me of Mrs Hinch, with her incredibly cack-handed attempts at cleaning hacks that wind up being potentially dangerous or ruin people's kitchen fittings, although in fairness Jack does have a personality, even if it is one she's curated herself from Enid Blyton books and episodes of Steptoe and Son.

Remember Danniella Wotsit, head to toe in Burberry, baby and buggy included? It took them a long time to recover from that. Seriously.

I wonder how much of a hit LMcC took from Jack?

Not a vegan but now boycott Linda McCartney for that partnership! It’s bad, but forgivable as it’s now just the way of the world, that every purchase pays towards a grifter’s fee but the way the CMO (Graham?) stood by the decision after all those vegans went IN with receipts and passion for their cause shows they’re dangerously delusional / absolute pricks. It’s no longer 1998 there’s tons of choice in the market & an awful lot of it is better 🤷🏻‍♀️ Soz sweeties but you did it to urself
 
Defending their partnership with Jack, Linda McCartney said they were 'working with someone who's a meat reducer and has been a champion of affordable home cooked recipes. 'Meat reducer' my (100% vegan) arse! She's a continual user of cheap, low welfare meat products, making no attempt to reduce her consumption of animal products. Not forgetting her treatment of the kitten or her poor bunny. She doesn't care about animals. And there are plenty of vegan cooks who develop amazing, non-slop recipes for people on a budget.

I used to be a loyal LM consumer but have since tried competitors' ranges, which I've found are just as good, if not better.

Mulberry don't 'gift', they don't need to (but nice try).

I bought a Mulberry Bayswater years ago (pre kids) and instantly regretted it. I loved the bag but it was too heavy and believe me I am no smol pixie. It is a beautiful bag and I saved for ages to buy it and still have it now over 10 years later.

As for calling it 'structurally unsound' what does that even mean? You apply that phrase to buildings and structures. STOP GETTING WORDS WRONG.
