British luxury brand Mulberry has seen strong growth in the year to 31st March as a result of continued design and omni-channel investments.
Total retail sales rose by 8% to £118.7m, with like-for-likes up 8% over the 52 week period.
Pre-tax profits increased from £1.9m to £6.2m year-on-year and total revenue grew by 5% to £155.9m.
The year also saw significant design changes, with the first collection from its new creative director, Johnny Coca, which went down well with consumers.
Mulberry also opened a new flagship store in Paris to substitute the smaller site.
Chief executive of Mulberry, Thierry Andretta said: "Mulberry has made significant progress during the last financial year with solid growth achieved in revenues and profit.
“The first collection introduced by our new creative director, Johnny Coca, has been well received by both the UK and international press and partners. Our UK manufacturing base, which produces circa 50% of our bags, has remained a core strength and point of distinction.
“We have built a strong foundation for future growth as a result of the investment made in product design and development as well as our omni-channel infrastructure. Looking forward, we will invest further in developing exciting new product, whilst continuing to engage with our core UK and growing international customer base."
