Mulberry: BAA promises an “inspirational, unique and exciting shopping experience”


UK. English luxury fashion and leathergoods house Mulberry will strengthen its stake in airport retail with a store opening at London Stansted Airport on 24 June.

The 850sq ft outlet, the brand’s fourth stand-alone airport location, features the company’s full ranges of men’s and women’s accessories, luggage and small leathergoods.

BAA Head of Category for Fashion and Fashion Accessories Hazel Curry said: “We are delighted that Mulberry is opening at Stansted and extending its offering across our airports. A luxury store which has proved extremely popular at Heathrow, Mulberry will sit alongside other premier brands to give passengers travelling from Stansted an inspirational, unique and exciting shopping experience.”

Mulberry is known for its “ultra tactile, highly crafted” lines, says BAA


The new store will complement Mulberry’s established outlets in Terminals 1, 3 and 4 at Heathrow, with a further fifth site opening in Terminal 5 next year.

Mulberry Chief Operating Officer Lisa Montague said: “Mulberry is committed to its airport business which has remained positive despite the recent ups and downs in security. We are continually impressed with the way in which BAA operates and are thrilled to be working alongside them to expand into Stansted airport.”
