English Laundry

English Laundry

English Laundry™ is a fashion and apparel brand. It was created by Christopher Wicks. Its design aesthetic is grounded in music culture and Wicks's hometown of Manchester, England.

History

The English Laundry brand started with an elaborate shirt line.

Their dress shirts, in particular, have evolved from Wicks's passion for stripes, collar shapes, pearl buttons, and French cuffs.

They are based on his first professional design experience with one of England's largest gentlemen's shirt manufacturers.

English Laundry then grew into a full lifestyle selection of suits, tailored separates, and a wide variety of accessories.

Over time, it expanded once again to bedding.

Style

The English Laundry shirts and designs are based on selected English stripes, plaids, and solid poplins from the 1960’s and 1970’s, the era in which the original designer, Christopher Wicks, had grown up.

The aim was to have a proper representation of the English attitude.

Overall, English Laundry markets their brand to men who are "elegant, arrogant and English."

English Laundry is not for the faint-hearted man. He takes what he wants, smiling un-apologetically as he takes it. He is brilliant, brash and bold. A true Englishman at heart, he appreciates ‘60s mod, but transforms it into the quintessence of modernity. He notices the most minute of details, making sure every item he owns is as unique as he is.

Each garment is embellished, embroidered, hand laundered, and hand-sewn.

The brand is particularly known for its hand laundering feature in the fit and comfort of the garment.

The English Laundry bedding line aims to provide fashion-forward with a touch of rock and roll to any bedroom.

It offers various styles, from contemporary plaid to classic paisley.

They feature velvet, buttons, and embellishments.

Their sheet sets are 100% cotton and are offered in grey, ocean blue, and white.

They can be coordinated with duvets, neck rolls, bed skirts, and decorative pillows in various themes.
