Directional and design-led, Reiss was founded in 1971 by David Reiss after recognizing a gap in the market for affordable, premium quality tailoring. With an interest in fashion developed early on at his father's small man's outfitters in Bishipsgate, Reiss was one of the first British brands to import fashion goods from Italy and France. Both men's and women's collections are grounded in a design philosophy that encourages original and directional thinking with a strong focus on quality. With a forward-thinking and creative design aesthetic, each piece is crafted with the finest materials and attention to detail.
