Reiss is a London fashion label founded by David Reiss in 1971, opening as a Bishopsgate menswear tailor and adding womenswear in 2000. It sells tailored suiting, wool and cashmere coats, knitwear, shirting and occasion dresses in a restrained, workwear-to-eveningwear register, sold through roughly 160 stores plus concessions and wholesale across 15 countries. Next plc raised its holding to 72% in a £128m deal completed in October 2023, buying out private equity firm Warburg Pincus; the Reiss family holds 22% and management 6%. Christos Angelides leads the business, which retains its own board.
