On the first night of London Fashion Week, Mulberry hosted a gathering to celebrate their new limited-edition collaboration with the British design duo Stefan Cooke, as well as the opening of their inaugural pre-loved pop-up in the UK. The event showcased the brand’s pioneering circularity programme, The Mulberry Exchange.
Guests enjoyed an exclusive preview of the bespoke space, featuring a curated range of Mulberry pre-loved bags, as well as the Mulberry x Stefan Cooke pre-loved collaboration, which made its debut at the Stefan Cooke SS24 show earlier that day. The event was accompanied by the sounds of South London DJ Arthi, who played an eclectic mix of dancehall, UK garage, and more.
Notable attendees for the night included Stefan Cooke co-founders Stefan Cooke and Jake Burt, models Julia Campbell Gillies, Caleb Frempong, Iwana Cristal, and Adam Rhazli, musicians Flowerovlove, Rose Gray, Joe Puxley, and Ayanna, as well as creatives Olaf Hernandez, Craig Green, Reuben Selby (wearing pre-loved Mulberry), Thomas Kwofie, Iggy London, and Yaya Miura.

About the Mulberry Pre-Loved Pop-Up…
Located in the heart of Soho, the Mulberry pre-loved pop-up invites customers to discover pre-loved through a considered edit, that includes some of brands most loved styles – such as the Bayswater, Alexa, Roxanne, and Antony.
Open from the 16th-26th September 2023, throughout the course of the eleven days a specially curated programme will be open to the public to celebrate Mulberry’s values of “creativity, heritage, and craft, and bring together the brand’s community”. Activations include a poetry evening in partnership with Adult Entertainment, founded by South London wordsmith James Massiah, an intimate live performance from South London’s Flowerovlove, and an in-conversation with the design duo behind Stefan Cooke, where the pair will discuss their creative processes and inspirations as well as offering practical advice to the next generation starting out in the creative industries.
