Mulberry

Profile

This British luxury brand has come a long way from its humbler roots as a luggage company. Known for its well-made, classic purses, Mulberry also excels at ready-to-wear womenswear, women’s shoes, and men’s leather accessories (though Mulberry has discontinued its men’s ready-to-wear line). The shop, the first in the United States, mainly focuses on handbags�everything from clutches to oversized messenger bags come in both neutral and seasonal colored leather. These highly coveted, supple carryalls sit on shelves and tables throughout the store, which is a sophisticated mix of dark wood, white walls, and polished brass accents (there’s even a fully brass check-out counter). And in an homage to the history of the space, which once housed a printer’s workshop, 8,000 primary-colored hardcover books are stacked with their pages facing outward, creating winding dividers between the goods. — Danielle Walsh
