Gieves & Hawkes


Last Sunday I had the pleasure to go to Gieves & Hawkes on Nº1 Savile Row and visit their fantastic store and headquarters. My boyfriend is working on a project with them so I was able to have a sneaky peek at their little "museum" full of treasures.


This is the room for bespoke tailoring service with a beautiful Damien Hirst on the wall.



The absolutely stunning Michael Jackson's military jacket made in Gieves & Hawkes for his Thriller Tour.





A letter from Admiral Nelson asking for a new suit.


I love the decoration of their store, is like being in a private house. And there we are, in the mirror!
Below is the beautiful staircase (and the softest carpet ever).



I had such a wonderful time there and the people were so nice. Also the weather was good, not like today, such a miserable grey rainy day and I have to go out! Anyway, hope wherever you are is much better!x

Photos by me and James.

    1. gracias albis! pues sí porque normalmente la gente sólo ve la planta baja y en la primera planta es donde está la sala para los trajes a medida y la sala del archivo o museo :)
