Take an Official Look at the New Mulberry x Paul Smith Antony Bag Collection

Two British powerhouses, Paul Smith and Mulberry have connected to present a 10-piece capsule collection that unites Mulberry’s classic Antony bag and commitment to UK manufacturing, with Paul Smith’s love of stripes and color.

As a whole, the collaboration reflects the brands’ shared appreciation of heritage style and history of championing the British creative community. This has been encapsulated within the collaboration through both brands’ commitment to sustainability, embodied in Mulberry’s “Made to Last” ethos and Paul Smith’s “Path to Sustainability” manifesto.

With this in mind, the new Mulberry x Paul Smith collaboration tells two distinct stories, each championing Paul Smith’s use of stripes while remaining true to Mulberry’s heritage DNA. Starting with a classic black heavy-grain leather bag, it’s hit with striped webbing straps and a pop color lining. Additionally, other bags are complemented with smooth calf leather with a bold color-blocking theme, which incorporates Paul Smith’s recently-introduced Shadow Stripe motif.

Commenting on the release of the collaboration, Sir Paul Smith said: “Paul Smith and Mulberry were founded within a year of each other in the 1970s, so you could say our brands grew up and came of age together. I think that’s at least partly why we share such a similar approach to creativity and craft – that and our Britishness. Working together to ensure the collection was created in the UK was something we knew we wanted to do from the beginning, and the results speak for themselves.”
