With Thanks

With regret, we have taken the difficult decision to wind down the Authentic Bespoke group.

We set out in 2017 to give small, artisan British brands the shared strength they could not muster alone. Through the hardest of years, that is exactly what the group did. Budd, Tusting and Ally Capellino each weathered the pandemic under our roof, and each now goes on to a home of its own — a future that, without the group, might not have come at all.

That the brands endure is the whole of what we hoped for. The scaffolding comes down; the buildings stand.

Our thanks to every maker, every colleague, every investor and every customer who believes British craftsmanship, and the hands behind it, deserve to endure.
