"Following a trip to Uganda in 2002, Saul had stumbled across a quirky wireframe bag handmade locally from recycled bottle tops. He stuffed a sample into his rucksack, and then pitched the idea to his father when he got back to the UK. He got good fatherly advice, but also sound commercial wisdom – his father had founded Mulberry in a Somerset garage in 1971, and nurtured it into the super brand it is today."
