Swaine Adeney Brigg

Swaine Adeney Brigg is one of London's reknown makers of equestrian & leather goods since 1750. It is a luxury lifestyle store for locals and business travellers alike. The history of the illustrious London luxury goods maker known today as Swaine Adeney Brigg as so goes back over 250 years. They've been supplying various items to Britain's Royal Family for 200 of them, and as those monarchs tend to be a traditional lot, the firm in its philosophy has basically remained unchanged in all that time.

In the late 18th century, Royal tradesmen in Britain began displaying the Royal Arms on their premises and stationery. Queen Victoria ensured Royal Warrants gained the prestige they enjoy today. During her 64 year reign, the Queen and her family granted more than 2000 Royal Warrants, eight times as many as the Queen's uncle, George IV. They included Swaine Adeney and Brigg; both names still hold Royal Warrants today. In 1893, Thomas Brigg and Sons received its first Royal Appointment from Her Majesty Queen Victoria and became the first umbrella maker ever to be honoured with an appointment. Further Royal Appointments were also bestowed by Her Majesty Queen Victoria and by His Majesty Edward VI.

Swaine Adeney Brigg is the luxury lifestyle store beloved by business travellers and connoisseurs throughout the world for leather goods, umbrellas, hats and other luxury items. In their own words : "As English as the Eton Collar, as iconic as the Bowler Hat." In the meantime, the following is film footage of their East Anglian workshops ; home of their famous leather and umbrella artisans.
