LONDON — Cynthia Erivo took time out of her busy schedule this week to cohost a cocktail party and unveil a series of Mulberry Bayswater bags that have even more personalities than her characters in “Dracula,” her one-woman show on the West End. 

Mulberry is marking 55 years in business with a limited-edition series of the Bayswater, which was first released in 2003, and Erivo was on hand to promote the bags during a cocktail party at The Dorchester. 

The limited-edition collection features 55 unique styles and colors sourced from surplus and sample leathers in Mulberry’s archives. Mulberry is a B Corp-certified company, and the project aligns with its Made to Last sustainability manifesto.

The bags come in colors including vibrant gold, silver, pink and green patterns. Textures include crocodile and suede, while trims are made from glossy leather.

The bags are priced at 1,855 euros, and the first drop will be available on the Mulberry site starting Friday.

“The kid in me was very excited when the opportunity came, because when I first started looking at luxury bags, Mulberry was one of the first brands I looked at. I had an old agent who had a tan Bayswater, and I remember eyeing the bag and going, ‘What’s that?’ She was Mulberry,” Erivo said in an interview.

Erivo said she couldn’t afford Mulberry at the time, so she’s particularly eager to work with them now. “It felt like a full-circle moment — and I also love the bags. They are endlessly classic, go with everything and are just nice to carry. Mulberry has something for everyone. I’m very, very edgy and can always find pieces that work.”

During Sunday’s event, she was carrying a dark brown suede Bayswater bag decorated with the brand’s name written in a jumble of colorful, mismatched letters. Erivo said the bag’s size allows her to carry a thermos, phone, a protein bar, and extra pieces of jewelry if she’s in need of a quick wardrobe change. 

Erivo, a London native, is currently starring in “Dracula,” which is based on the 1897 novel by Bram Stoker, and adapted by Kip Williams. It’s an ambitious production and she plays all 23 characters. 

“It’s just a new adventure that I haven’t really been on before. I’ve done shows, I’ve done concerts, but I’ve never done a play where I’ve had to play all the characters on my own,” she said, adding that she’s never even done a solo, one-woman show before. 

“It is a mountain that I am currently climbing and has challenged me in a way that nothing else has challenged me before. And I think that’s the thing that drew me to it, the fact that it scared me s–tless. And I was like, ‘Well, if that’s what it’s doing, I know that I’ll have to learn from it.’ I think that’s the thing that drew me toward it, it forced me to learn a new thing about who I am creatively and what I want to do,” she said.
