Mulberry reported that total revenues surged 62% to £72m and retail sales rose 47% in the half-year to 30 September.
During the reporting period, Mulberry opened a New York flagship store and expanded its factory in Somerset, creating 60 new jobs.
The brand also benefitted from the glow of royal approval when a photograph of Kate carrying a navy blue Polly Push Lock satchel as she embarked on her official visit to Canada circulated the globe. We’re sure that endorsements from Kristin Stewart and Kate Moss, who attended Mulberry’s spring/summer 2012 show , can’t hurt either.
‘Against the backdrop of economic uncertainty, Mulberry continues to build market share internationally and we remain cautiously optimistic about the future prospects of the business,’ Mulberry Chairman and CEO Godfrey Davis said in a statement.
