Both tradition and quality flow through the very heart of what we do; bringing together the finest in British manufacturing, textiles and design resulting in a range of unique and versatile clothing that will last you a life time.

The aim is to capture a part of our heritage that you can take with you on your next adventure, wherever that may lead.

Who Was Stanley?

In 1919, Stanley Douglas Biggs was born in London. He joined up at the outbreak of the Second World War, serving as a medical orderly in 181 Airlanding Field Ambulance Unit, Royal Army Medical Corps. His unit was part of the Airlanding Forces that took part in the Battle of Arnhem in September 1944. Tragically, he succumbed to his wounds on 25th September 1944 and is buried in Oosterbeek Commonwealth War Graves Cemetery.

 

It is in his memory that the brand was created by founder, Sophie Bainbridge.

Founded in 2019, the brand has grown from strength to strength, with each year being a stepping stone onto something new. It is has been great to look back and try to summarise our formative years for our customers to read.

​

2019 was certainly our year of discovery and building a name for ourselves. We attended a record number of tradeshows, working tirelessly to establish our reputation, especially with our gorgeous knitwear range. We honestly could not have done it without support and encouragement from friends and family.
