BEN SHERMAN 

In 1963, Ben Sherman took a staple button-down shirt and made it exciting and sartorial. The design was influenced by the classic American Ivy League shirt, but Ben Sherman’s design vision added the back hook, the button on the back of the collar—but most importantly, his feel and passion for fabric, pattern and color created a unique garment. Today, Ben Sherman is now a full lifestyle brand and remains a leader of modern British style. 

BRUNO MAGLI 

In 1936, Bruno Magli and his siblings, Marino, and Maria, began crafting women’s shoes in a small basement in Bologna, Italy. Since then, Bruno Magli has created refined, handcrafted footwear for those who appreciate elegant design and impeccable craftmanship with a strong family heritage. Today, Bruno Magli continues to evolve its heritage by reinventing luxury essentials like bags, purses, suitcases, and belts, beautifully crafted for a new generation.
