Wednesday afternoon we found ourselves at the RAKAS showroom for an exclusive preview of the Mulberry SS2011 collection, inspired by Frances Hodgson Burnett's famous novel The Secret Garden.

First, a quick stop at the bar for some girlie pink cocktails, to get the conversation flowing.

And then, off to reporting duty!
I fell in love with the colour palette used for the collection. Basically, it was mostly about light tans, dirty pinks, warm beige, chocolate brown and some animal prints.
