Lịch sử
Peter Williams and Robert Shaw founded Jack Wills in 1999 in Salcombe, Devon. The brand initially targeted university students, becoming a significant cultural marker of British youth fashion in the early 21st century. It played a central role in mainstreaming the preppy aesthetic within the United Kingdom. Following a period of rapid international expansion, the company faced financial challenges and was subsequently acquired by Frasers Group in 2019.
