‘Mulberry’ The Book

40 Years of An Iconic British Brand

Tillie and Alexa, step aside. Mulberry is introducing a new classic to its collection: ‘Mulberry’ The Book. Described as a labour of love by creative director Emma Hill, this coffee-table tome marks the luxury label’s 40th year in fashion.

This, however, is not just your run-of-the-mill retrospective. The book focuses on the intimate, behind-the-scenes moments of the last two years, giving you a candid look into their charmingly kooky, stylish world. Welsh photographer Venetia Dearden has captured everything from the construction of the label’s covetable bags in their Somerset factory to a frizzy-haired Lindsey Wixson being primped and preened for the Spring/Summer 2011 ad campaign. There’s significant coverage of parties, off-duty models (usually texting, occasionally snacking) and a number of cameos by the creatives at Mulberry who make it all happen.  

‘Mulberry’ The Book (£55/$90) is available online and in select Mulberry boutiques.
