Mulberry launches its lowest carbon handbag collection

Great news from our customer Mulberry who have launched a limited-edition capsule collection, described by the brand as its “lowest carbon” collection to date.

This collection has been created entirely in the UK in what Mulberry calls a “pioneering hyper-local, hyper-transparent ‘farm to finished product’ supply chain model,” as it commits to transparency and traceability.

All the rawhides for this collection were sourced from within the UK and Ireland, tanned, treated and finished by Muirhead at their leather production site 15 miles outside of Glasgow, Scotland, and each bag from the collection is made by craftspeople in Mulberry’s carbon-neutral Somerset factories.

It comes after Mulberry’s ‘Made to Last’ manifesto was announced earlier this year, which aims to transform the business into a regenerative and circular model, encompassing the entire supply chain, from field to wardrobe by 2030.

Mulberry CEO Thierry Andretta, said: “I’m pleased to launch Mulberry’s first capsule collection of regenerative ‘farm to finished product’. The collection represents the future of the business as we continue to build a network of regenerative and organic farms to supply the hides to create our leather across the UK and Europe. This reinforces Mulberry’s bold commitment to the future, outlined in our Made to Last manifesto published earlier this year to mark our fiftieth anniversary.”
