Drakes Enter The Footwear Market
This is a brand new direction for ‘the’ brand synonymous with the finer points of neckwear. Drakes have entered into footwear and produced a fine tobacco coloured, yet of course smoke free, capsule footwear collection. For the discerning gent and fan of quality this is your shoe and Drakes are happy to clothe you from your neck and now down to your feet…
Here’s a little something about the brand Drakes: Founded in 1977 by Michael Drake, Jeremy Hull and Isabel Dickson, the original Drakes collection was comprised of mens quality scarves. A range of English handmade ties and printed silk handkerchiefs quickly followed, and today Drakes is the largest independent producer of handmade ties in England. Over the years the company has won prestigious accolades for design and export achievement, including the Queen’s Award for Export and the UK Fashion Export Gold Award for Outstanding Export Achievement. The original vision and ethos for the company – to be truly international in terms of sales, with collections designed for a select range of luxury shops from the most conservative to the most fashionable world wide – is the same today as it was then. Drakes continues to eschew the drama of mere gesture so prevalent today, believing that true luxury is indeed the comprehension of quality.
We’re a big fan of the collection Drakes have just launched, to buy them visit Drakes London
