Mulberry was founded in 1971 by Roger Saul, and the first Mulberry products, belts and chokers, were made around the family kitchen table. Once production outgrew their home, Roger’s parents oversaw the first team of outworkers and then the opening of a Mulberry factory in Somerset, The Rookery.
In 2014, Mulberry opened a second factory, The Willows, in Bridgwater, Somerset with the help of a government programme to create economic growth and lasting employment. Today, Mulberry is proud to be the largest manufacturer of luxury leather goods in the United Kingdom thanks to the expertise of its 600 craftsmen and craftswomen.

The Somerset factories are the foundation on which the brand is built. The company is committed to investing in British manufacturing and is dedicated to the continued nurturing of craftsmanship talent. In partnership with Bridgwater College, the Mulberry Apprenticeship Programme trains the next generation of craftspeople and manufacturing leaders.
The heart of Mulberry remains in Somerset, and with design headquarters in London, it is a true community of creatives and craftspeople, making collections with a distinctive sense of style and quality that is made to last.
