This Iconic '00s Bag Is Destined to Reach It Status Again This Autumn
Mulberry's Roxanne bag launched in 2004 and instantly joined the roster of '00s It bags. Now it's back in a new streamlined design.


It's clear by now that 2025 is the year of the revived It bag. From the lightweight Puzzle bag to the Fendi Spy, this year, fashion houses are taking a nostalgic approach to new releases, and now another icon is set to return. After spotting a few original '00s versions at Copenhagen Fashion Week, it feels serendipitous that Mulberry's Roxanne bag has just been relaunched.
First introduced back in 2004, the Roxanne quickly became an iconic bag for the brand, going on to nestle itself between the Bayswater and Alexa in Mulberry's It bag lineup. The Roxanne was a bold style, featuring thick straps, a belted centre and large patch pockets on the outside, finished with embellished buckles and studs. It was completely fitting for the time, balancing style and practicality with a punky British edge and was spotted on the arms of style icons such as Kate Moss, Alexa Chung and Mary-Kate Olsen. Now, for 2025, the Roxanne returns with the same charm it held before, but in a new, grown-up form.
Through the fantastical lens of Tim Walker, Cynthia Erivo brings the London girl edge to the relaunch of the Roxanne bag. For 2025, the bag returns in four distinct iterations. Closest to the original shape are the small and mini Roxanne, offering leather handles to carry in hand, as well as a longer strap for shoulder and crossbody wear. This silhouette is joined by a new shape, which completes the set: the Roxanne shoulder bag and mini shoulder bag. The new form has a single strap for shoulder wear, with gold hardware to complement the design of the bag. The bags come in an array of classic shades from reliable black to autumnal brown suede, crafted from leather sourced from environmentally accredited tanneries.
The same centre belting can be found alongside the front buckled pockets of the bag, whilst the added embellishments have been softened for a more streamlined silhouette. Still, the bag retains its iconic look, though with an updated refinement. It's a handbag that brings together practicality and style, and no doubt will follow the original in becoming a firm feature on stylish people throughout the new season, and for many years to come.
