Posted on Sep 30, 2025 By Winni Kuipers

Mulberry's Darley series is a modern classic — but many people mistakenly believe that the Small Darley and Small Darley Satchel differ in size.
The truth is that they are almost the same size; the difference lies in the shape, strap and look .
Here you will find the history, a detailed comparison and inspiration for which Darley is right for you.

The story behind Mulberry & Darley

Founded in 1971 in Somerset, England, Mulberry has been synonymous with British leather craftsmanship, timeless design and robust quality for decades. The Darley range is one of Mulberry's most iconic lines, characterised by the iconic Postman's Lock and clean, feminine lines. The range ranges from smaller crossbody bags to satchel models in several sizes.

Short explanation

Many people assume that the Small Darley Satchel is larger — but in reality, the dimensions are very close. The difference comes from the shape and the strap: the Small Darley has a slimmer, straight design with a chain strap, while the Small Darley Satchel has a rounder saddlebag look and a wide leather strap.
