History
Founded by Leslie Berker in 1936, the company became one of the largest garment manufacturers in the United Kingdom. It gained significant cultural relevance through collaborations with royal couturier Norman Hartnell, who designed accessible collections for the brand. This partnership democratized high-fashion aesthetics for the post-war British public. While the brand initially dominated the high street, its retail operations eventually declined, leading to the closure of its bridal division in 2018.
