Mulberry England

We are pleased to announce that our near-term Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions reduction targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).  This validation confirms that our targets are based on the latest climate science and meet the urgent need of the Paris Agreement to keep warming to 1.5°C. In recognition of the significant role leather plays in Mulberry's product offering and our commitment to supporting regenerative agricultural practices, we also set a specific Scope 3 target using the SBTi’s Forest, Land and Agriculture (FLAG) Sector Guidance. This SBTi validation builds on our progress towards our Made to Last Manifesto, which was a commitment made in 2021 to transform our business to a regenerative and circular model, with a view to achieving Net Zero GHG emissions by 2035.

This Volunteers' Week, we’re celebrating the wonderful and wide-ranging support our team provides to our charity partners, and how this work impacts these communities. All Mulberry employees are entitled to two days worth of volunteering each year – at any charity or organisation of their choice. In addition to our ongoing support of The Felix Project, Mulberry employees have recently been volunteering with a myriad of charities and initiatives, including Marie Curie, the Somerset Wildlife Trust, the North Somerset Birds of Prey Centre, and the Quantock Landscape Partnership Scheme. #MulberryEngland

We're proud to announce our brand new Chinese flagship store in Plaza66, Shanghai, which opened at the end of last month to the public for the first time. The store interiors, designed by Studio Toogood, features sumptuous and tactile furnishings inspired by the English countryside – from bespoke wallpaper based on British landscapes to decorative Mulberry Green ceramic tiles, which also extend to the store’s exterior. Visitors to the store will be able to shop the full range of Mulberry products across both men’s and women’s collections, as well as select styles from our pre-loved range, which last year launched in China for the first time. Plus, from the 17th to the 20th of May, customers can join us in-store to celebrate 520, by sending bespoke postcards – featuring artworks designed by illustrator Jiatong Liu – to their loved ones, via our Mulberry Pimlico postbox.

Our Head of Sustainability, Rosie Wollacott Phillips, recently appeared on two panel talks to discuss all things Made to Last and sustainability. The first discussion was at The Institute of Positive Fashion Forum, for a talk entitled "Scaling Circular Design and Circular Business Models", where Rosie talked about our Made to Last ethos and the Mulberry x Stefan Cooke collaboration, as well as the challenges and successes of launching The Mulberry Exchange in new markets. Then, last week, she appeared at Innovation Forum's Sustainable Apparel and Textiles Conference, speaking on a panel entitled "Food, Fuel, Fibre: How to Drive Regeneration Across Sourcing Landscapes", where she discussed Mulberry's commitment to a regenerative and circular business; the challenges, solutions, and learnings from our pilot schemes so far; and the role of technology in incentivising regenerative supply chains.

Today is World Leather Day and we're happy to celebrate this year's theme of "Repair, Reuse, Repurpose" as we honour the enduring legacy and versatility of leather.   Founded to raise awareness about the sustainability and positive attributes of leather, World Leather Day is an initiative created by the Leather Working Group and Leather Naturally, with the aim to foster a deeper understanding of the leather industry by showcasing its craftsmanship, innovation, and sustainability.   No one does leather like Mulberry; it's been at the heart of our business since our founder Roger Saul began making leather accessories at his kitchen table using offcuts and scraps in 1971. Today, we're the largest manufacturer of luxury leather goods in the United Kingdom, crafting objects that are made to last and be passed on to the next generation.   At Mulberry, sustainability underscores everything we do. Leather plays a pivotal role in our commitment to circularity, showcased through initiatives like our Repairs Service and The Mulberry Exchange, our circular exchange programme, which see our in-house artisans breathing new life into pre-loved pieces, ensuring every Mulberry bag can live many lives.

It Started With a Lock This May, we’re spotlighting the locks that have become as synonymous with Mulberry as our iconic bags themselves. In a series of stills shot by celebrated photographer Esther Theaker and styled by Isabelle Sayer, three models (Celina Ralph, Guinevere van Seenus, and Ajok Daing) are captured sporting modern classics – including our latest icons the Lana and the Pimlico – and juxtaposed with closely cropped images of each bags’ hardware. These locks act as symbols of Mulberry’s evolution: dynamic and bold, but with a quintessential and inimitable Britishness. Much like Britain, over the years our hardware has evolved – referenced, refreshed, reimagined – but the hallmarks have remained the same: secure, classic, and made to last.

We're proud to announce that the doors of our newly relocated flagship store in Ginza Six, Tokyo, have opened.    Debuting our new Studio TooGood store concept for the first time in Japan, the new space showcases our rich British heritage and craftsmanship through its design elements. From bespoke wallpaper to hand-tufted rugs and Mulberry Green ceramic tiles, each detail pays homage to the wild and rugged landscape of the British countryside.   The store is home to our complete offering and includes signature and seasonal pieces across both men's and women's collections, with a spotlight on some of the newest Mulberry families – the Lana, the Clovelly, and the Pimlico.   Find us at Ginza Six, Floor 3. #MulberryEngland

On Monday, our CEO, Thierry Andretta, led a discussion on sustainable development at Shanghai Fashion Week's M Space forum. Invited by the Shanghai Fashion Week Committee, Andretta tackled 'Decoding the Sustainability Mindset of Mulberry and Chinese Consumers', moderated by @Dan Cui, former Editor-in-Chief of GQ Style China, and founder of sustainable fashion platform CanU.   Andretta underscored our commitment to sustainability – ingrained in our DNA since day one – and emphasised our ethos of not passing on any extra costs to customers. He highlighted the importance of localised strategies in luxury brand development; China's progress in sustainability over the last five years; and the role of digitalisation in achieving industry sustainability, noting our proactive adoption of digital advancements.   Addressing evolving consumer attitudes in China, Andretta noted a shift towards mindful consumption and a preference for quality, craft, and timeless luxury items. Stressing transparency, he emphasised the need to further share our sustainability progress with Chinese consumers, especially in light of their heightened interest amidst the climate crisis.   Looking ahead, Andretta acknowledged the transformative potential of AI, which Mulberry aims to leverage to accelerate and enhance our sustainability efforts. #MulberryEngland
