It’s the end of half a decade run for Johnny Coca as Mulberry’s Creative Director. The creative force is departing from the fashion brand after five years of loyalty investment which birth eyewear and trainer collections inside the catalog of Mulberry.
Announced via press release by the brand, CEO Thierry Andretta disclosed, “I would like to thank Johnny for everything he has contributed to the brand over the past five years. Johnny’s creative vision has been a key element in delivering our strategy to develop Mulberry as an international luxury lifestyle brand. On behalf of the Mulberry board and entire team we wish Johnny every success in his next venture.”
During Coca’s time spent at the fashion house, he introduced a new Mulberry logo that went with every collection the brand came up with. At the start of this year, Coca launched the ‘Made to Last programme’, which serves as a buy-back and repair service for customers either seeking to get their bags refurbished, or looking to trade in those beyond restoration for credit that could be put towards a new purchase.
Appreciative of the opportunity given at Mulberry, Coca shared his farewell message saying, “I have loved my time with this iconic British heritage brand and would like to thank the amazing teams and everyone who has supported me during my time here. I am proud of everything we have achieved and the collections we have created. The passion and dedication I have seen at Mulberry has been incredible and I am honored to have been part of the brand’s history.”
Coca joined the fashion brand in 2015, succeeding Emma Hill. He was previously the head design director for leather goods, accessories, shoes and jewelry at Celine.
Mulberry is currently on the market looking for its next creative director.
