From London to the world.
Heron’s Ghyll is a cosmopolitan tailoring brand with a pluriversal eye to the future. Within this vision, everything is fluid; cultures collide and recombine to produce new forms.
Based in London, the brand approaches each collection with an openness to the world as well as a desire to seek out underserved narratives evinced through textile traditions. Taking the city’s rich heritage in tailoring as a starting point, luxurious natural fabrics are fused with the best of British craftsmanship to produce clothing and accessories characterized by their hybridity, superlative quality, and relaxed elegance.
The brand’s mission is to present a compelling vision of masculine elegance that’s rooted in a unique, transcultural aesthetic.
“Home is not where you live but where they understand you.”
Inspired by Kuala Lumpur
Stand collars. Natural fabrics. A languid fit. Rich colors. Yellow gold accents. Hospitality and warmth.
Made in London
Narrative consistency: based in London, made in London. Responsibility over local ecosystem. Quality control and oversight. Human scale.
“We Orientals tend to seek our satisfactions in whatever surroundings we happen to find ourselves, to content ourselves with things as they are; and so darkness causes us no discontent, we resign ourselves to it as inevitable. If light is scarce, then light is scarce; we will immerse ourselves in the darkness and there discover its own particular beauty. But the progressive Westerner is determined always to better his lot. From candle to oil lamp, oil lamp to gaslight, gaslight to electric light—his quest for a brighter light never ceases, he spares no pains to eradicate even the minutest shadow.”
― J. Tanizaki, In Praise of Shadows
Heron’s Ghyll was founded in 2020 by Mark Francis.
