History
Alfred Dunhill founded the company in 1893 after inheriting his father’s saddlery business in London. He pivoted to Motorities, producing accessories for the emerging automobile industry. The brand later expanded into tobacco pipes, lighters, and tailored menswear. Dunhill’s historical significance lies in its transition from equestrian supplies to a diversified luxury goods provider, influencing the development of functional men's accessories and clothing throughout the twentieth century.
