What is Gresham Blake?
Gresham Blake is a contemporary British tailoring house that started in Brighton in 1999. Its flagship store and head office are at 20 Bond Street, Brighton, and it also runs a showroom in Soho, London, open by appointment.
Products and positioning
The brand combines traditional tailoring techniques with bold, modern design, using striking prints and luxury fabrics such as wool, tweed, silk and velvet. It offers three levels of service:
- Bespoke: clients choose fabrics and designs, are measured precisely and attend fittings while the suit is made
- Made-to-measure tailoring
- Ready-to-wear suits and pieces
Gresham Blake has dressed celebrities and business professionals, and it created a bespoke suit in the Brighton & Hove tartan for the city's mayor.
History
In 2005 the brand opened a flagship in Brighton's North Laine area, with interiors that referenced suit fabric and stitching, including fitting rooms with a display of suits worn by celebrities.
Why it matters
Gresham Blake shows how an independent tailor outside London can build a recognisable brand by pairing classic craft with a distinctive, design-led style.
