Harrys of London is proud to announce the opening of our first freestanding retail store in the Middle East at the new 360ž Mall in Kuwait.

The 70 square meter store concept is designed in the brand’s signature library motif. The shoes are arranged as ‘books’ on the four meter high ‘bookcases’ and the stock is accessible by sliding wooden library ladders in keeping with the iconic Mayfair store. The immaculate interior details include dove grey suede walls, traditional cornicing and a beautifully reclaimed 1930’s herringbone oak floor that was shipped from London and reassembled in the store. As a finishing touch, the custom-made chesterfield sofas are tailored in signature leathers and textiles that were specially made by our favourite tanneries in Italy.

Harrys of London for WINTLE

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

We are delighted to announce our recent collaboration with the highly regarded London menswear designer Jsen Wintle for Spring 2010. These styles have already been seen on the runway here during London Fashion week and presented to buyers and the press in Paris, but I wanted to get into a bit more detail.

Together with Jsen, we have created a set of cool summer brogues to accessorize his new collection. A soft white calfskin version of our COSBY wing-tip was made for the menswear presentation this past June in Paris. It looked amazing with the degrade suiting and the (slightly creepy) masks by Nasir Mazhar.

We then created a bespoke version to be used on the runway for London Fashion Week in September. Two tones of dusty pink suede were used to create a surprisingly wearable ’spectator’ wing tip (also on the COSBY pattern). They looked great with the soft suiting and  neutral pastels of the collection. These clothes may appear casual, but their quality tells a different story. Jsen is a Savile Row trained tailor and has highly refined sense of cut and construction.

Both styles are available by special order from our Mayfair flagship store or by contacting sales@harrysoflondon.com.

We are currently working on new styles for the Autumn/Winter 2010 shows in January.
