Mulberry Climbing to New Heights

British Brand Mulberry has gone from strength to strength in 2011. The sales for the second half of 2011 up to 62% to £72m ($110m AUD) and retail sales rose 47% in the half-year to 30 September.

The brand was boosted by major celebrity endorsements, from Kate Moss, Kristin Stewart and most notably The Duchess of Cambridge on her state visit to Canada. Catherine Middleton sported a Navy Blue Polly bag from Mulberry which sent ordering systems into a meltdown.

‘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.
