Meet The Mulberry Family

Being a part of a close-knit family encouraged Mulberry’s founder Roger Saul to replicate this sense of community in his business – something that is still vital to us today. Mulberry is a family of creatives and craftspeople, based between our headquarters in London’s Kensington and our factories in Somerset, England, where the brand was founded in 1971.

A 600-strong team of Somerset craftsmen and craftswomen make 50% of our bags. Working alongside Mulberry’s creative team, led by Creative Director Johnny Coca, our specialists produce accessories that combine traditional leather-making techniques with contemporary innovation.

The Somerset factories are the foundation on which our brand is built. We are committed to investing in British manufacturing and are 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.

"It's nice to see the end product and think well I've put some of my work into that. It's a nice feeling to think "that's what I've made."

"I have worked for Mulberry since June 1981. My eldest son has been here for 6 years, and his partner Sam also works here, and they've just had a baby 6 months ago. Sam's mum Viv works in development. It's nice that we are based in Somerset because the other factories were all closing so it's nice to think that hand crafting is still going on." Rachel
