“I have been so lucky to live through the last 50 years of fashion. In the auction we have samples and one-offs that never made it to the public to tried-and-tested favorites,” said Saul, who worked on the brand for 32 years.
Unique items such as a ski carrier in scotch grain with a tan leather trim, which never made it to production, will be in the auction with an estimated price of 160 to 220 British pounds, as will a cream canvas suit carrier and travel bag designed in 1996 to celebrate 25 years of Mulberry.
Other than handbags and luggage, the auction will include fashion, shoes and accessories, as well as home interiors, from textiles to pieces of furniture, glass, lighting and rugs. Mulberry in the ’80s and ’90s expanded into a full lifestyle collection offering women’s and men’s weare as well as interiors pieces.

Saul founded the luxury apparel and accessories brand in the ‘70s. He officially stepped down as president and non-executive director of the company in September 2003.
He sold 4.8 million shares, or nearly a third of his stake in the publicly listed company, to Fidelity Investments.
Saul’s gradual exit from the day-to-day workings of the company followed two years of battling with partners Ong Beng Seng and Christina Ong.
