Mulberry

It represents a classic English subculture that prioritizes functional elegance and durability. The brand’s ethos centers on traditional artisanal techniques applied to contemporary, understated silhouettes.
Fashion History
Roger Saul founded Mulberry in 1971 in Somerset, England, using a small initial investment and his family kitchen as a workshop. The brand gained international prominence for its leather handbags, particularly the Bayswater and Alexa models, which became central to the early 2000s 'It Bag' phenomenon. Historically, Mulberry bridged the gap between traditional British saddlery and modern high fashion, solidifying its role as a significant contributor to the global luxury leather goods market.
