Upmarket menswear label Hackett is to open a flagship store on Savile Row, where its founder started his career in the Seventies.
The move comes nearly five decades since a young Jeremy Hackett started working on the famous suitmaking street. The entrepreneur went on to start his eponymous company in 1979 from a stall in Portobello Road.
Hackett London’s new store will be at 14 Savile Row, and comprise traditional shop floor space, bespoke tailoring and room for limited edition collections.
Jeremy Hackett, who now chairs Pepe Jeans-owned Hackett, called Savile Row “the most renowned street for men’s tailoring”.
He added: “When I first opened Hackett it was inspired by Savile Row - albeit ready to wear. I remember serving the great Hardy Amies, who was a true gentleman. Little did I think that all these years later I would be opening a shop in his old premises, alongside such esteemed tailors.”
Property agents CBRE, Colliers International and KLM Retail advised on the deal at 14 Savile Row, which is owned by the Pollen Estate.
Julian Stocks, chief executive at the Pollen Estate said Hackett’s store will be “an exciting addition to the historic street’s esteemed occupants”.
