PS by Paul Smith

Paul Smith is a British brand with roots in Nottinghamshire, established in 1970. PS by Paul Smith sits within that world, and the name behind it is still closely involved: founder and CEO Paul Smith remains part of every step of the design process, which is unusual for a business with hundreds of stores worldwide.

That mix of a single guiding hand and a wide reach is what makes the label worth knowing. It carries over a long British heritage while being easy to find, whether you shop online or in person. Independent shops stock it too. Meet Bernard, for example, is the only independent stockist of Paul Smith in South East London, and describes itself as proud to be part of the brand's history and heritage.
