Quintessential British brand, Mulberry is renowned for its timeless designs and traditional quality. For more than forty years they have been designing and manufacturing contemporary and iconic accessories, and now they have launched their first ever fully sustainable leather bag.
New this December is the Portobello Tote, Mulberry’s first 100% sustainable leather bag. The bag’s design is inspired by the company's commitment to creating positive change and a sustainable legacy. It is priced at £795.
Made entirely in the UK, at Mulberry’s carbon-neutral Somerset factories, the Portobello tote uses by-products of food production and leather from a gold-rated tannery. The unlined bag is even stitched with Epic EcoVerde thread, a recycled polyester fibre.
Mulberry’s Creative director, Johnny Coca explains the etymology of their new sustainable design.
“Our starting point for this family was the ultimate everyday item, the plastic bag – functional, but throwaway. The Portobello keeps the beautiful utility of this silhouette and elevates it into an elegant tote that is practical and, more importantly, made to last.”
We think this contemporary and classic streamlined tote is super versatile. The keep-me-forever bag features double loop handles and a shoulder strap, giving you the choice to carry it or wear it across the body.
The Portobello Tote is available in store and online at Mulberry in a range of signature and seasonal shades.

To further their sustainable legacy, 100% of net proceeds from the sale of the Portobello will go to the World Land Trust. The conservation charity funds the creation of reserves and provides permanent protection for habitats and wildlife. And, as always, Mulberry offer their globally renowned lifetime restoration service. Customers are encouraged to bring their much-loved accessories into store to be revived, rather than replaced.
