Mulberry's Profits More Than Quadrupled in Past Year

fashionologie — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 10:59:30 PDT

>> In the year that ended March 31, profits at Mulberry more than quadrupled to 17.1 million pounds ($28 million) on the back of a 69 percent leap in sales. The accelerated increase in sales (121.6 million pounds, or $199.4 million, from 72.1 million pounds, or $118.2 million) came in part from nine store openings, a new London flagship, and robust growth both internationally and online. According to Godfrey Davis, Mulberry chairman and chief executive: "Strong demand in all markets has continued into the new financial year and the outlook for the Mulberry brand is positive. While we remain cautious about the global economic environment, we are focused on accelerating our international expansion." [WWD]

>> With the 1970s British seaside in mind, Mulberry's creative director Emma Hill presented a jaunty collection of separates and shorts suits for Resort 2012. Cheeky prints in caramel, baby-blue, and pale pink turned up on shirt dresses, blouses, and camp jackets, while bedazzled chambray, enlarged eyelet, and pops of yellow contributed to the retro-boardwalk feel. Accessories included leopard-print pumps, patterned platforms and matching visors.
