What to know about Dunhill

Started with motoring gear, not suits

Alfred Dunhill opened in London in 1893 selling motoring accessories, then leather goods, lighters and pipes; tailoring and outerwear came later.

A 2024 reset toward Savile Row

Simon Holloway, previously creative director at gunmaker James Purdey & Sons, took over design in 2024 and is steering the house toward British sporting and Savile Row codes.

Richemont money, royal-supplier credentials

Owned by Swiss group Richemont and an official supplier to the British royal family, which explains the very high pricing on suits, belts and small leather goods.
