hey guys welcome to planning with crystal so today's unboxing is the mulberry small dali in the
gun metal colourway with gunmetal hardware so i ordered it in the selfridge's sail it came
in a little selfridge's dust bag so i'm going to take it out for you i'm going to show you
the inside and i'm going to see what we can kind of fit into it and give you
my thoughts so it also came in a mulberry dust bag as well so this is what it looks like it's still
got the protectors and stuff on so i've not really unpacked it properly
but it has got like i said that gorgeous gum metal hardware and it's got the kind of postman's lock
so you can kind of twist it to undo it and i'm going to take out all these packing materials
so we can look at it a little bit better so it's got a little mulberry kind of care instructions
and it's got a little tag that says margaret england and on the back it says small darling
metallic small grain in gunmetal so this is like the small kind of textured
leather like i said it's in this sort of gum metal so it's a little different from um some
of the other mulberry fabrics in that it's got a real kind of metallicy sheen to it you can kind of
see that on the camera really well it's pretty indicative of its kind of color in real life
so like i said it's got that postman's lock on the inside this almost seems like a pvc or something
i'm not sure if it's leather or pvc lining you can just see the kind of dots there which obviously
hold on the metallic thing to fasten your little postman's lock into so it says mulberry england
there there's a little slip pocket here at the front there is a little zip pocket here
then there's this kind of bigger section here and i will put all the measurements under the video if
you want to see exactly what the measurements are but like i said i am going to put all my things
in that i would normally put in the bag when i go out so we can kind of see together what
fits so it's got eight of these card slots here which is really handy because actually
it's a little bit of a kind of almost wallet on a chain a little bigger than a wallet but
it allows you to just put your cards in there instead of having to take a wallet if you don't
want to it's then got this little pocket there which is a slip pocket on the back of the bag
we've actually got a little zip pocket here which could put keys
or what have you in or if you were using it instead of a purse you could actually put
some coins in there um instead of having a coin purse or something
and all of the zips are done in this kind of split um leather design
the chain is also in this gun metal i just love this color it just kind of goes with
a lot of stuff i wear as well i would think i like that they've put this kind of strip of leather
to go over the shoulder because i had heard with some other people who've used the small dolly
that the original smalls dahlias just had the chain over the shoulder and that the chain would
kind of cut into the shoulder a little bit and become uncomfortable so hopefully having
this little leather bit here will prevent that from happening it's still got the tags on so i
haven't actually used it yet this one is just a selfish tag basically saying if you take it off
you can't return it so i like to make sure i'm definitely keeping it before i um take that off
but originally this bag retailed at 650 pounds but i managed to pick it up in the sale for 440
which i thought was a little bit more reasonable so we're going to see what fits in here so i've
got my phone this is the iphone 11 pro i'm just going to see if that would fit in the front pocket
probably would with the case off but it isn't going to fit in with the case on
i think it'd actually be a struggle even with the case on um
so we're not going to do that it might go into this zip up pocket
it would but it would be a really kind of tight squeeze it doesn't want to go in there
again with the case off it probably would so i think i'm gonna have to put my phone in the big
kind of center compartment there i will say even though the bag is kind of quite structured you can
sort of almost expand it a little bit like accordion style fit a lot more in and still
close it so let's keep putting things in so i've got my air pods i need to get different case for
them i've had to put on the clip on because the original clip broke so my airpods tend to take
those with me um i also have a mulberry card holder it's obviously not the same color and
it's an elk one but i've had it for ages and it's still in perfect condition and i
actually don't mind the fact that my accessories don't necessarily match
because it makes it easier to spot them in the bag anyway so i'll just pop that in there
i mean i might end up not using the card holder because i might just put the cards in these slots
at the back because actually the card slots will hold more than this little card holder anyway
i also have a coin purse which i recently purchased and did an unboxing of as well
i can put a few cards and stuff in here so it might be that i use this
instead of um the card holder but they will both go in if necessary so i've actually filled all
of the card slots now although it wasn't easy they were kind of super tight and didn't want to let me
put the cards in but it's done now just so i can kind of show you so that's what it looks like with
all the card slots full and then if i was carrying cash you can obviously easily put your notes down
there with room to spare and like i said you could totally use it then as a purse you could even have
this to put your coins in or use that little zip pocket on the back totally up to you so i would
usually also put my hand sanitizer in here but i think this one's going to be too big and i
also have a mask obviously that i take everywhere with me i say everywhere very rarely do i go out
but if i do go out i obviously make sure i have everything i need to so yeah my hand sanitizer
is too big this is not gonna fit um in here so i'll take a smaller one i'd also have a little
lip balm that should go in there no problem so i think realistically i may take this little purse
um obviously gonna take my phone like most people i wouldn't want to go anywhere without my phone
my earpods are gonna kind of slide in there and i could actually just kind of squish
my face mask on top and my lip balm there and then i'll fasten it okay so moment of truth that is
not going to fasten so i am going to have to take out i don't think it's those that are causing the
issue so much but i'll just take out my airpods for a second and see if we can get it to close
yeah it must have been that that was kind of doing it so i could definitely put i think the mask and
lip balm back in but in order to close it i've had to take out my air pods but then i guess um i have
to find another way of carrying them maybe if i take the purse out and use the airpods instead
then i would probably be okay and still have room for my mask and my lip balm
and a smaller hand sanitizer probably because i do tend to take hand sanitizer everywhere as well
especially at the moment so it will fit with all that in i mean i think it would make a great
nighttime bag because you can't put as much in but at the same time i want to use it as a daytime bag
because i find if i have a large bag i just fill it full of stuff so by having
a smaller bag this will prevent me from taking things i don't need and carrying heavy weight
around hurting my shoulder and stuff so hopefully this will do the trick i do really like the bag
i just have to be more kind of careful about what i fill it with another great thing about this bag
is you can see these little circle rings here and then that's where the chain starts you can
actually push through you can completely remove its strap and then have it as a kind of clutch
so again it's kind of perfect for that night time when you don't want
to have a kind of crossbody bag so this is where it hits on me i am
about five two and a half i feel like that half is pretty important when you're that kind of
height so this is kind of where it sits if i put it over it would kind of sit about there
and obviously you can tuck the chain away and this is what it looks like if we take the straps
off the back of the top the holes are still there um this is kind of what it looks like as a clutch
the bag itself is actually really quite light which is a huge plus for me because
i actually have a base water that i don't use because of how heavy it is without anything in so
i'm definitely more conscious about how much bags and things weigh now before making the purchase
because there's no point if the bag is too heavy i'm not going to reach for it i'm not going to
carry it i'm not going to use it and the point of me buying a bag like this is that i'll get lots
and lots of use out of it so i'm very happy with it i particularly enjoy the fact of it
being a little bit different from a lot of the other bags out there in that it's got this nice
metallic finish i like that it's got this kind of finish the leather as well because i think it will
wear well so yeah i think this is a bag i'm going to hopefully love
for years to come i think it'll go with everything as well i like to wear a lot of
leather jackets i tend to wear darker jewelry or like silver jewelry not gold so i think this
will go better with that as well so yeah all in all i'm pretty damn happy with this back
