Mulberry wurde 1971 von Roger Saul gegründet. Von seinem Vater, der für den renommierten Schuhmacher Clark’s arbeitete, erbte Roger seine Liebe und Leidenschaft für das britische Lederhandwerk.
Mulberry's early collections was famed for their interpretation of a particular strand of Britishness, namely, the English country lifestyle, which was soon adopted in town as well. Roger sourced saddlery leather, gathered sample of quilted fishing bags, leather-trimmed waistcoats and poacher jackets, and used these as inspiration.
At only 26 Roger was made the Chairman of the London Designer Collection. Shortly after, he met Monty, a house model for Dior. Once married they epitomised the cool English couple of the day, featuring in Mulberry advertising and editorial. Roger's attitude was to create not just a Mulberry lifestyle that everyone could be part of.
