Mulberry
is an upmarket fashion company known internationally for its leather goods,
especially women’s handbags. The company was founded in 1971 by Roger Saul with
the assistance of his mother Joan Saul nee Legg. Joan is a great granddaughter of
Kate Bainbrigge Legg nee Ivall (1836-1917). Kate was a daughter of David Ivall
(1795-1850), a highly successful coachmaker.
Roger Saul was ousted from Mulberry in 2003 following a boardroom coup in 2002. The Daily Mail published
an article about Roger, based on an interview with him in 2011. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2018144/The-man-lost-Mulberry--billion-pound-fortune-says-hes-NOT-bitter-amazing-success.html.
