Axel Arigato for Mulberry

April 26, 2023
Swedish lifestyle label Axel Arigato joins forces with British luxury brand Mulberry for an exclusive collection of unisex ready-to-wear, bags, footwear, and accessories.

The limited-edition capsule marries Axel Arigato’s effortless Scandinavian minimalism and Mulberry’s timeless British aesthetic, in a wear-forever collaboration that celebrates both brands’ shared values of community and engagement with contemporary culture.

Exploring Mulberry’s unique place in British fashion history, the starting point for the 35-piece collection was a deep dive into the Mulberry archives, and an exploration of memorable pop culture moments from the past 50 years. 

The range of fashion-forward leather bags are inspired by three archive Mulberry designs. The first plays on the scale of Mulberry’s Oversized Bayswater, the largest version of the brand’s original iconic bag. The Top Handle bag takes the Maddison silhouette and reworks it as a versatile, multi-wear bag, whilst the Shoulder bag is a contemporary evening bag, inspired by the timeless Westbourne. The bags are available in a selection of bold colourways, from vibrant emerald green and bright azure blue to monochrome and classic black. 

Split-colour trenches, relaxed-fit denim and embroidered varsity jackets appear in sophisticated, neutral tones. The capsule also includes Axel Arigato’s Area Sneaker, a silhouette that has been inspired by vintage basketball references. For the collaboration the Area sneaker is adorned with Mulberry’s iconic Postman’s lock and custom strap – which is a first for the Axel Arigato brand. 

Featured throughout the capsule is a collaborative badge that combines Mulberry’s tree emblem and Axel Arigato’s insignia, to create a crest that reflects the collaboration’s collegiate and community spirit. Mulberry’s iconic hardware has also been reinterpreted for the collaboration. The Postman’s Lock appears decoratively on hero ready-to-wear styles and footwear, whilst a reworked padlock and key forms a functional closure on the selection of bags, representing the coming together of both brands.
