Richard James, the iconic Savile Row tailor known for dressing high-profile celebrities such as Prince William, David Beckham, and Sean “Diddy” Combs, has recently made its mark in the U.S. market with the opening of its inaugural stateside location in New York City. This strategic move follows the acquisition of a majority stake in the London-based luxury brand by American entrepreneur Charles S. Cohen back in 2017.
The new Richard James store, situated at 461 Park Avenue, is a grand 2,260 square feet space that showcases an extensive collection of ready-to-wear pieces including impeccably tailored suits, stylish shirts, comfortable socks, and elegant shoes. Customers can indulge in the brand’s signature array of fabrics, offering a palette of bold and vibrant colors ranging from soft pastel mauve to rich ochre. Prices for the ready-to-wear items at the store range from $32 to $950, while the bespoke custom-made suits start at $4,999.
Meticulously designed by the esteemed UK design practice Andy Martin Architecture, the interior of the New York store exudes sophistication and modern elegance, mirroring the iconic Richard James Mayfair location in London. Sources close to the brand reveal that there are plans for further expansion and the opening of more U.S. locations in the pipeline.
Established in 1992 by Richard James and Sean Dixon on the prestigious Savile Row, the brand set out to revolutionize men’s fashion by infusing traditional styles with a contemporary twist of color, cut, and design. Renowned for its exceptional quality and meticulous craftsmanship, Richard James has garnered a loyal following over the years. Apart from its physical boutiques, customers can also explore the brand’s offerings through its online platform.
By introducing its first U.S. store in New York City, Richard James extends a touch of British charm and sophistication to the American market, inviting customers to experience the epitome of luxury and style from the heart of Savile Row.
