Mulberry is a British design company renowned worldwide for its craftsmanship, quality and style. The brand’s backbone is an extensive line of luxury fashion bags for men and women that combine stylish, stand-out design with the finest leathers and detailing. In addition to leather goods, Mulberry’s product range includes women’s wear, accessories and footwear. Mulberry currently has 110 stores worldwide.
JDA’s Demand and Fulfillment solutions are designed to help Mulberry further improve customer service levels, drive operational efficiency and create a more responsive supply chain, delivering a luxury experience.
