Mulberry 'English Dirt' Jacket

Founded in 1971 in Somerset, England, Mulberry is a premiere British luxury fashion house that became globally renowned for its leather goods. The jacket pictured features the 'English Dirt' slogan, a heritage-inspired motif that references the brand's rural English roots and long-standing connection to British craftsmanship. While the brand initially started with belts and leather accessories, it expanded into a full lifestyle brand including apparel and outerwear.

Traditionally, Mulberry has maintained a strong manufacturing presence in the United Kingdom, specifically at its 'The Rookery' and 'The Willows' factories in Somerset. The jacket prominently displays 'Made in England Since 1796' on the back, a stylistic tribute to the legacy of British textile history. In 2026, the brand continues to be a symbol of British luxury, balancing its heritage with modern sustainability initiatives.

Ownership of the brand transitioned over the decades, eventually seeing a majority stake acquired by the Challice family through their investment vehicles. Today, Mulberry operates as a publicly traded company on the London Stock Exchange, while maintaining significant private investment from international stakeholders who focus on the brand's expansion in Asian and North American markets.
