Mulberry: Made with love in England

July 24, 2014 by

Last week, I made a trip to Harrods to take a peek at Mulberry’s gorgeous window, as part of the store’s ‘Made with Love’ campaign.

Featuring bespoke illustrations by British artist Harry Malt, the window takes shoppers on a whimsical journey from London to deepest Somerset – Mulberry’s rural homeland.

Mulberry’s ‘Made with Love in England’ window celebrates the leather brand’s heritage with illustrations of its two Somerset factories – The Rookery and The Willows.  Even with high global demand, more than half of all Mulberry bags are created by over 700 artisans in Somerset.

To spread the love even further, Mulberry has also launched a new permanent monogramming service at the Lower Group Floor boutique in Harrods.  Not only can you personalise your Mulberry bag or purse with your initials, but it can be jazzed up with British icon symbols such as a telephone box, London bus, a London taxi cab or a post box.

I was kindly given a beautiful credit card holder in the softest red natural leather with my initials monogrammed on the back.  It’s such a lovely, personal touch to add to an already stunning Mulberry accessory and makes a thoughtful gift.

I also had the opportunity to have my Mulberry gift bag illustrated by the talented Harry Malt.  Referencing my (and Mulberry’s) love of chic pooches, he created an adorable Chérie City pup sporting a double-C collar.

The Mulberry Monogramming service is available now at Harrods.  For more information, visit: www.mulberry.com
