Featuring hundreds of photographs, this lavishly illustrated guide to some of the most distinguished British brands takes a fascinating, behind-the-scenes look at their enduring success. Classic style and British manufacturing are both experiencing a boom in demand?driven by a desire among consumers for authentic, quality products. Britain is uniquely placed to benefit from this resurgence, given the number of heritage companies
still producing at the top of their game. From the world-famous
Barbour in South Shields in the north of England to John Lobb
in London, many of these fine businesses remain in family
ownership, protective of their traditions and justifiably proud of
their products. Many are the bearers of warrants from the British
Royal family, and all are over 100 years old. Horst Friedrichs
explores the historic places where these British brands have
become some of the strongest in the world: Johnston’s of Elgin
in the north of Scotland, Corgi socks in southern Wales, and
John Smedley in Derbyshire. By highlighting the stories of
these legendary brands?both new and old, grand and humble?
Friedrichs and Crompton show how relevant these companies
and their traditional production techniques still are. A Very
British Heritage is a must-read for anyone that appreciates wellcrafted
products and timeless style.
Now you can buy Books online in USA,UK, India and more than 100 countries.
