For Mulberry, place has always been part of the product. The landscape of Somerset – its rhythms, its materials, its craft – runs through the brand’s identity as much as the silhouettes of its bags. Now, a new special collection draws that connection into sharper focus, tracing a line from field to factory through a fully British leather supply chain.
Made with British Pasture Leather, the collection marks almost five years of partnership between the two companies, as well as 55 years of Mulberry itself and five years of its Made To Last Manifesto – an ambition to transform the business into a circular and regenerative model. It is less a departure than a distillation: an exploration of how materials, provenance and process can shape the object in the hand.

At the centre is leather sourced from British Pasture Leather, made with hides from 100 per cent pasture-fed British cattle, raised on farms which are certified by Pasture For Life. The hides originate from farms across the south-west of England, guided by regenerative agricultural principles, before being tanned in Bristol and finished in Northamptonshire – reconnecting fragments of the UK’s leather industry into a single, localised chain.
The material itself is deliberately expressive. Vegetable-tanned and lightly finished, it is designed to evolve, developing burnishing and markings unique to each piece. Rather than resisting time, it records it – an approach that aligns with Mulberry’s longstanding emphasis on longevity and repair.

Production remains rooted in Somerset. Each design is developed and crafted at The Rookery, the brand’s flagship factory, where Mulberry continues its commitment to UK manufacturing. Here, the proximity between maker and material becomes part of the narrative, reinforcing a sense of continuity between origin and outcome.
The collection is anchored by four designs, balancing heritage and everyday function. The ‘Boston’ bag appears in Antique Oak, its structured form softened by the warmth of the leather, while the ‘Bayswater’ returns in Vintage Ebony, deepening one of the brand’s most recognisable silhouettes. Alongside these are the ‘Darley Cosmetic Pouch’ and a ‘Zipped Pouch’ – pared-back, practical counterparts that carry the same material integrity.

Taken together, the pieces suggest a broader shift in perspective. By foregrounding regenerative sourcing and transparent production, Mulberry frames sustainability not as an abstract goal but as something tangible – embedded in the feel of the leather, the trace of its origin, and the life it gathers in use.
Available from 28 April 2026, with prices ranging from £495 to £2,245. All products come with a complimentary lifetime manufacturing warranty, as well a care kit consisting of leather wax and a cloth.
