You\u2019re 100% correct on both counts \u2014 the storied brand is one of the world\u2019s most iconic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Founded in 1971, the family-run label has evolved dramatically since its earliest days. It all started with Roger Saul, a young man from Somerset who developed an interest in fashion from his father.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The business began quite humbly \u2014 at the family\u2019s kitchen table, where his sister helped conceive of the brand\u2019s famed tree logo. The name itself was born of Saul\u2019s daily walks past a mulberry tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mulberry bag \u2014 where it started<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In its earliest days, Mulberry was locally renowned for its smart leather belts. The success of these classic accessories led to the development of more wearables, including handbags and clothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Across the line, Mulberry pieces reflect a distinctive style that is categorically English \u2014 tailored, crisp, and timeless, with a nod to the countryside. Mulberry handbags are particularly popular, on the strength of stunning designs and thoughtful details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bayswater was the label\u2019s first game-changing tote \u2014 an \u201cIt\u201d bag that captured the collective hearts of the world and soared to the top of fashion mavens\u2019 must-have lists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But even beyond those well-loved handbags, Mulberry doesn\u2019t veer from tradition, or from the immaculacy that first brought the label into the spotlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why we love mulberry bags<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The beauty of the brand is that it never rests on its laurels. Their championed handbags are more than mere classics \u2014 they\u2019re built to <em>work<\/em>, and designed to suit the everywoman\u2019s lifestyle with the thoughtful details that make a serious difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adding functional details to give those timeless beauties an upgrade is one way that the label continues to merge fashion with function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In keeping with its history, Mulberry\u2019s bags are primarily crafted in the United Kingdom, and just a single handbag requires at least 30 different laborers to complete. It can take over six hours to finish just one bag. Then, each bag goes through rigorous testing and quality control checks before it meets the brand\u2019s highest standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mulberry bags &amp; other pieces to wish for<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As you&#8217;d expect, you won&#8217;t find authentic Mulberry pieces on a budget.
