In music and in fashion, few names earn the distinction of being called "classic", but such is the case with Gieves & Hawkes. The fabled Savile Row suit-maker was founded in London in 1771, making it one of the country's oldest bespoke tailors and a contemporary of England's great composer George Frederick Handel.
The first to establish itself on Savile Row, Gieves & Hawkes now has stores and points of sale across the globe; it also holds three Royal Warrants of Appointment to HM The Queen, HRH The Duke of Edinburgh, and HRH The Prince of Wales. The Royal Warrants are awarded only to brands that supply the British Royal Family and have been granted to Gieves & Hawkes from the award's inception in 1809. |
