British designer Paul Mainwaring founded the brand in 2016 to advance men’s fashion with trend-right, wearable silhouettes and unique textiles.

While producing their own textiles, they have partnered with leading manufacturers to enhance production capabilities. Currently available in 34 countries, they are growing with every new seasonal release. Each collection draws inspiration from colors and patterns from a specific region or era, bringing different ideas and styles into the design room.
