There are 10 production lines within the factory, one of which is taken up by its apprentices. When I visited on Friday they were making three different bags: oversized Alexas, Bayswater, and the new season Lily. less

Last week, I was invited to take a train out west to Bath to check out the Mulberry factory. I wasn't sure what to expect from the day; would it be like Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory, but with bags? Imagery of rivers of Bayswaters or trees covered in Alexas ran through my mind! The reality wasn't quite as fantastical, but was just as exciting. Mulberry is the only brand who still produces in the UK. Its factory was recently visited by the Duke of York, who was finding out more about its apprenticeship programme. Click through to find out how a Mulberry Alexa is made!
