What to know about Mulberry
Part of production stays in Somerset
Founded in 1971 by Roger Saul, the brand still makes some of its leather goods at two factories in Somerset rather than outsourcing everything abroad.
Named handbags anchor the catalogue
The Bayswater, Lily and Alexa are the styles it is known for; beyond bags the range runs to belts and small leather goods and accessories.
Fewer markdowns is deliberate policy
CEO Andrea Baldo, appointed in 2024, is cutting discounts and closing weak stores, so expect full-price positioning at the top of the tier.
