Former Mulberry director sets up rival brand

22/06/2015

Mulberry’s former creative director, Emma Hill, is teaming up with former colleague Georgia Fendley to launch a leathergoods brand in September.

The new brand, called Hill and Friends, will be made in England and will be a rival to Mulberry, with prices in the same bracket.

Ms Hill left Mulberry two years ago during Bruno Guillon’s tenure, and the company has been without a creative director since that time. Céline accessories design director before Johnny Coca will begin in the role next month.
