THE INSPIRATION - My Grandfather worked for Courtaulds Textile his whole working life. Starting at 18 years old as a tea boy, his association with the company continued until his retirement! His service at the company was interrupted by the Second World War where he commanded a fleet of minesweepers. He was a well dressed "English Gentleman" always enjoying the fashions of the day and his other passion, Motor Cars, the two went hand in hand! Many of our designs are inspired by what he wore both in war and peace time.
