Made to Last

Our Purpose

Born in Somerset in 1971, Mulberry is an iconic lifestyle brand with a playful and uniquely British blend of creativity, community, craft and culture. Since Roger Saul, our founder, first turned leather offcuts into belts at his kitchen table, Mulberry has become a globally recognised brand, and the largest manufacturer of leather goods in the UK. Our commitment to modern British craftsmanship has always underpinned both our creative and commercial strategies, and today our two Somerset factories are the manifestation of our purpose. We are a significant local employer firmly rooted in the community. We are building a climate-resilient supply chain, responsibly sourcing materials with a specific focus on lowering the impact of leather. We are exemplifying how circularity can be baked into business culture, with a dedicated repair and restoration team, a thriving resale proposition, The Mulberry Exchange. We are a bastion of craft and innovation with a well-established apprenticeship programme that ensures skills are honed and handed on. These we believe are the fundamentals of a business that is Made to Last.

The Three Cs

We believe that a sustainability strategy, just like a business strategy, is an ever-evolving work in progress. The following sections detail the Three Cs – the guiding principles of our sustainability journey – with each outlining Mulberry’s ambitions and progress made.
