Roger Saul was born in Somerset, England in 1958. After studying business and working as a fashion buyer on Carnaby street, he established the brand Mulberry at his kitchen table, with £500 backing from his mother. The name “Mulberry” came from the trees he would pass each day on his way to school. Starting with buckled leather belts, other accessories followed, including iconic bags and a womenswear line in 1979.
In 2000, Scott Henshall was hired as Creative Director. In just one year, not only did he take the company out of the red, but he also modernized the brand for the 21st century and established Mulberry as an indispensable modern British heritage brand. In 2007, Emma Hill took over the creative helm, and transformed Mulberry’s reputation from an accessories company into an international fashion powerhouse.
Current Creative Director: Johnny Coca
