In celebration of its 50th anniversary, Mulberry has pulled out all the stops to launch its Autumn/Winter 2021 collection.
Consisting of long-awaited relaunches and elegant new arrivals, the British brand’s AW21 line combines versatility and sustainability with sophisticated, timeless design.
With new additions including the Iris Hobo and the East West Amberley taking a contemporary approach to eveningwear, the collection also sees the return of previous favourites like the Bryn, bringing vintage, feminine style and soft construction to the traditional briefcase silhouette.
The colour palette contrasts the vibrant, joyful Mulberry Pink against new refined shades of Cambridge Green, Apricot, Cloud and Metal Blue. Patchwork, tweed and crushed leather form an intriguing texture library that add a playful, celebratory touch to the collection.
Made To Last
Throughout the course of its 50 years, Mulberry’s ‘Made to Last’ ethos has remained at the heart of the brand, with the AW21 collection being no different – over 70% of bags included in the line are made with leather sourced from environmentally rated tanneries, and 58% of those received gold-standard ratings.
Mulberry’s responsible approach to design and manufacturing is brought to life this year at the V&A’s Bags: Inside Out Exhibition, which runs until September 2021. A new short film invites visitors to immerse themselves behind the scenes of their Somerset factories, while iconic Mulberry bags from famous names – Kate Moss’s Bayswater and Alexa Chung’s Alexa – showcase the timeless design and enduring quality that Mulberry represents.
The brand’s circular economy programme, The Mulberry Exchange, will launch digitally this season on Mulberry.com and Vestiaire Collective, offering customers the chance to buy pre-loved and vintage bags that have been expertly authenticated and refurbished by the highly skilled artisans of Mulberry’s Somerset repairs centre.
