Paul Smith Clothing and Accessories

Paul Smith is a quintessential British brand that emerged from the vibrant fashion scene of Nottingham, England, in 1970. Founded by Sir Paul Smith, the brand became famous for its 'classic with a twist' aesthetic, blending traditional British tailoring with eccentric colors and patterns, most notably its iconic 'Artist Stripe'.

While the brand's creative heart remains in the United Kingdom, its manufacturing is global to maintain high luxury standards. A significant portion of its premium tailoring and footwear is produced in Italy and Portugal, while casual items and accessories are manufactured in various locations including the UK, China, and Morocco. Paul Smith remains an independently spirited company, with Sir Paul Smith retaining a majority stake and active creative control, alongside minority investment from long-term Japanese partner Itochu Corporation.
