Which British luxury brand makes the 'Mulberry' bags?

The story behind the answer

Mulberry is the British luxury brand that makes Mulberry bags.

The company was founded in Somerset, England, in 1971 by Roger Saul and his mother, Joan. Its early identity was built around leather goods and a distinctly British lifestyle aesthetic. In 1973, Mulberry opened a factory in Chilcompton, Somerset, helping establish a manufacturing connection that remains central to the brand’s heritage.

Mulberry became especially known for handbags such as the Bayswater, Roxanne and Alexa. The Alexa was named after broadcaster and model Alexa Chung, while the Bayswater became one of the label’s signature structured designs. The company also produces accessories, footwear, menswear and womenswear.

The main mix-up is treating Mulberry as a bag style rather than a brand. Vivienne Westwood, Alexander McQueen and Burberry are also British fashion names, but none is the company identified by the Mulberry label. Mulberry Group remains headquartered in Somerset and is best known internationally for luxury leather handbags.
