Mulberry said its largest shareholder has rejected a fresh takeover approach from Mike Ashley’s Frasers Group for the luxury handbag maker.

The London-listed fashion firm told shareholders on Monday morning it is working with advisers from Houlihan to consider its position.

It added that a further announcement will be made in due course.

On Friday, Sports Direct owner Frasers Group tabled a sweetened £111 million approach to buy Mulberry.
