There’s something irresistibly charming about brands that can combine elegance and a spirit of adventure and Grenfellis exactly that.
Founded in 1923 from the vision of the ingenious Sir Wilfred Thomason Grenfell, a doctor and explorer with a fondness for impossible challenges, and the visionary weaver Walter Haythornthwaite, the British house created a unique fabric the famous Grenfell Cloth.
A material capable of defying wind, rain, and time yet always with impeccable style.
And from that moment, the world was never quite the same.
That remarkable fabric became the trusted companion of explorers, mountaineers, pilots, and gentlemen alike.
Sir Malcolm Campbell wore it while breaking the world speed record, Amelia Earhart during her historic solo flight across the Atlantic, and even the mountaineers bound for Everest.
And then, beyond storms and skies, Cary Grant and Gregory Peck turned it into a symbol of timeless elegance.
In the 1930s, Sir Henry Cotton brought the Golfer jacket to the greens, and in the 1950s Sir Stirling Moss raced like the wind across the world’s circuits in his Grenfell suit proving that sometimes, style and speed speak the same language.
Today, as then, Grenfell remains true to its origins: every garment is designed and handcrafted in East London, where discreet luxury meets tradition.
A brand that has dressed kings, champions, and dreamers and continues, quietly, to celebrate the allure of an elegance that withstands both time and wind.
