When it comes to the best-performing fashion brand on the international stock exchange, you would most likely expect a name along the lines of the Pradas of this world, but it's under-the-radar Mulberry that takes the crown.
Bloomberg reported this week that the British luxury handbag maker's stock rose by 526 percent over the past year. Overseas revenue more than doubled over the same period. In retail, its growth is currently only topped by PT Mitra Adiperkasa, a company that runs Starbucks coffee houses and Sogo department shops in Indonesia.
Currently the brand's bags, created by Emma Hill who is one of many luxury world's lower-profile designers, get regularly name-checked in celebrity style pages and attained even wider popularity through a collaboration with US chain Target last year.
