"Glamour.com girl crush and all around It girl Alexa Chung joins the lucky and exclusive ranks of women who have handbags named after them--Jane Birkin, Jessica Stam, Grace Kelly--when the new Mulberry Alexa goes on sale today. Find out why we&amp;#x27;re crushing on it, after the jump. Remember when Alexa first moved across the pond and I introduced you dolls to her as having &amp;quot;the kind of style I&amp;#x27;m crazy about--let&amp;#x27;s call it &amp;#x27;ragamuffin chic&amp;#x27;--and her outfit always looks like it tells a story, from the vintage pieces picked up in her travels to the T-shirts stolen from old boyfriends and shiny new designer items she seamlessly integrates into the mix&amp;quot;? The Alexa bag is a genius example of that quirky, completely original sense of style: She&amp;#x27;d been carrying around an old Mulberry men&amp;#x27;s briefcase called the Elkington (above), and when Mulberry creative director Emma Hill spotted her with it, she was inspired to put a new spin on the classic bag. She femmed up some of the details, gave it a softer, more streamlined shape, and named it after its inspiration, Alexa (that&amp;#x27;s her carrying it, above). Supposedly the namesake is totally smitten with the results, and I am, too! It comes in a slew of chic materials and colors, but my favorite is the black lambskin with snake trim--practical, luxurious, versatile, gorgeous.
