Mulberry celebrates 40th anniversary

Monday, 09 May 2011
Mulberry is celebrating its 40th anniversary with the launch of a special book. Founded in 1971, the quintessentially British accessories House as developed a reputation for producing some of the finest leather goods, with the Alexa and Bayswater bags gaining worldwide recognition.

Now under creative direction of Emma Hill, the house has returned to its London home for fashion week and launched a pre-fall ready-to-wear collection, establishing it as the go-to for English-countryside inspired outerwear.

In celebration of their milestone birthday, Mulberry has produced their own eponymously titled book. Providing a glimpse inside their world, the publication takes viewers on a fly-on-the-wall journey through the past two years of the brand’s life.

Photographed by Welsh artist Venetia Dearden, the book took nearly three years to make. “It was a real labour of love,” Hill told Another Magazine. From candid shots of the show's stylist Edward Enninful to images of the frizzy redheaded models who marched down the S/S11 catwalk, as well as behind-the-scenes photographs of the brand’s thriving Somerset Factory (special for being the last brand-owned luxury accessories factory in the UK); this luxurious book beautifully captures the heart and pulse of Mulberry.
