Mulberry bags are made in several countries, mainly the UK, Italy, Turkey, and China, depending on the specific product line and when it was produced. The brand still makes a significant portion of its bags in its own factories in Somerset, England, but has long used overseas manufacturing to meet global demand.

Core locations

  • United Kingdom (Somerset) : Mulberry produces a large share of its main leather handbags in its two factories in Somerset, and the brand highlights that over half of its bags are made there. This is where many of the classic lines like Bayswater and Alexa have historically been crafted.
  • Turkey : Since at least the 2010s, many Mulberry bags (including all men’s bags at one point) have been made in several Turkish factories that also manufacture for other luxury brands. Newer bags commonly carry a “Made in Turkey” label, especially when UK capacity is full.
  • China : Small leather goods such as wallets, purses, phone holders, and some luggage lines are made in China, and it is normal to see “Made in China” on authentic newer Mulberry items.

How production is split

  • Historically, Mulberry made all leather goods in England, but as demand grew it outsourced production to China and Turkey while keeping its UK factories running at full capacity.
  • Public info indicates only about 30–50% of Mulberry bags are now produced in England, with the rest coming mainly from Turkey and China, and some newer commentary also mentions production in Italy for certain pieces.

What the labels mean for authenticity

  • Authentic Mulberry bags can legitimately say “Made in England,” “Made in Turkey,” or “Made in China,” depending on style and year.
  • Forum discussions show collectors owning genuine Mulberry Alexa and other styles made both in England and China, with quality generally regarded as high across locations.
