Mulberry

Mulberry is a British lifestyle and fashion house whose roots are in Somerset, where Roger Saul founded the business in 1971. Its first products were leather belts, followed by bags and womenswear; leather craftsmanship and a dialogue between Somerset and London remain central to its identity. The house has since expanded into ready-to-wear, footwear and accessories, while its handbags—including the Bayswater—have become enduring signatures. Mulberry Group plc is the listed parent company, so group reporting should not be confused with results for a single collection or product line. In March 2026, the company appointed Christopher Kane Creative Director of Women’s Ready-to-Wear. His first Mulberry collection debuted at London Fashion Week in September 2026, with retail launch announced for January 2027. The appointment is a current, category-scoped design role, distinct from the company’s executive leadership and historic creative succession.
