In October, luxury brand Mulberry reported that its sales had risen by 57% across the label's 40 UK stores in the proceeding 10 weeks when compared with the same period in 2009. Like-for-like sales increased by 79% across its 90 international stores. Mulberry is turning into one of those freaky anomalies the recession occasionally produces; one of the very few companies beating the odds of this grim financial climate, expanding while everything around it falters or fails. A lot of the company's success has rested on the crazy popularity of this one bag, which Mulberry unleashed on to its adoring public in January 2010. It's the Mulberry Alexa, the £750 handbag that's beating the recession, ruling over 2010's accessory market, inspiring a high-street homage or 10, and insuring that at least one British company surfs this wave of the economic downturn with breathless ease. On our Mulberry outlet online store, you will find thousands of Mulberry bags at affordable prices.
