The Drake’s shop is open and looking simply lovely. The blue tiles and engraved threshold are particularly nice touches. And it’s such a pleasure to be able to try on pieces.
Do pop along. 3 Clifford Street.

I went to the shop the other day. It was great to see the selection but the prices are something else. Somehow I don’t mind spending £100+ on their ties when I know almost no-one else will have one (and I’ve bought a few of their scarves in the past too), but £245 for a shirt seems too much when I could get one bespoke for less from top quality materials. Same for the jackets, which, from recollection, were £1,100+. I hope it succeeds but was surprised by the prices.
Just a pity their shop prices are higher than online
There’s nothing like a sunny day in London. And with such a great store to explore!
On the prices, items in the shop that are the same as online are priced the same. There are, however, several items that are not online yet, including untipped ties, vintage cufflinks, shoes and checked shirts in particularly luxurious cloth. All these are more expensive.
I hope this helps

I’ve been there on Saturday and was pleased to discover that a former saleswoman from Emma Willis was now working there!
I took one RTW tie, 2 handkerchiefs, 1 scarf and ordered 3 bespoke ties (125 GBP each); hope the bespoke quality is good
