Best idea of the week: Luxe British bag brand Mulberry has teamed up with Apple on a line of bags. The totes pair favorite Mulberry styles with Apple best-sellers like the MacBook, the iPod, and the iPhone, and they come with useful details like extra padding and headphone holes. Mulberry's creative director explains the appeal of the collaboration to Grazia by saying "Apple products are too beautiful to reside in drab bags!" but we're mostly just relieved that there will soon be a practical way for an adult woman to carry around a laptop without looking like a doofus. The bags debut online and in-store in Europe on November 1st; we don't have a U.S. release date yet, but it will follow soon after.
