Introducing Mulberry’s New Softie Outerwear Collection
This autumn, the Mulberry Softie evolves into a new outerwear collection, fusing functionality with a fashion- forward sensibility, and style with pragmatism.
Since its launch in February 2022, the Softie bag has quickly become emblematic of Mulberry’s contemporary design ethos. Now its signature details – like the distinctive puffy quilting – have been organically translated into a capsule of tactile outerwear.
The Softie Outerwear collection comprises eight designs: three jackets, a gilet, and two coats – a belted midi style and a capacious caped design – as well as a scarf and skirt. The Softie quilted bomber, shell jacket, hooded puffer and scarf are all part of a genderless, unisex proposition. Chiming with Mulberry’s Made to Last ethos, every piece in the collection is padded with recycled silk and the garment outers crafted from recycled Nylon.

A natural evolution of the Softie bags, the ready-to-wear possesses the same huggable, textured tactility. Mulberry’s signature Postman’s Lock fastenings are peppered throughout the collection, which is available in an easy to wear, pared- back palette of Black, Khaki, Mulberry Green and Tobacco Brown. Versatile in both look and feel, each considered design is a hard-working wardrobe building block. Suitably cosy for winter yet lightweight enough for spring, these pieces also transition seamlessly between country and city, encapsulating the synergy between Mulberry’s rural heritage and modern urban slant. As ever, they are designed to be an integral part of a forever wardrobe.

Paying subtle homage to Mulberry’s Somerset roots and drawing on the area’s folkloric heritage is the SS23 campaign, Wild Within. Created in collaboration with boundary- pushing British creatives, photographer Tom Johnson and stylist Harry Lambert, the campaign is a celebration of Mulberry’s dual identity as a contemporary tastemaker with an equal appreciation for both heritage and innovation.
