The Portobello Tote release is part of the brand’s commitment to creating a sustainable legacy by taking care of every aspect of production, from the design to sourcing, and manufacturing. Mulberry’s CEO, Thierry Andretta, states, “Through our Mulberry Green responsibility commitments, we are continuing our innovative approach towards design and manufacturing in a conscientious way, ensuring we will provide truly luxury, truly responsible products for our customers”.

In line with their environment commitment, the brand has decided to donate a 100 per cent of proceeds made from the bag to the World Land Trust conservation charity.
