Drake's was founded by Michael Drake in 1977 in London's East End, a stone's throw away from London's silk weaving roots in Spitalfields and their current home on Haberdasher Street. Their commitment to the finest raw materials and authentic processes remains at the heart of everything they do. They take pride in producing garments and accessories of only the highest quality. Each shirt and tie produced is made by hand at their factories in London and Somerset, using only the finest materials and most skilled craftspeople in service of their uncompromising dedication to excellence.

Since a few years back, Drake's has partnered with select shoemakers to present a unique line of footwear that goes hand in hand with the soft sensibility that makes them so popular, offering mainly classic, semi-formal shoes in subdued earth tones. At the moment, Drake's shoe range includes some of New England maker Alden's most iconic models, made up mainly in beautiful suede and cordovan leathers, as well as classic Albert slippers made by compatriot manufacturer Bowhill & Elliott.
