Hackett London opens in Kildare Village

Dapper gents listen up – Luxury menswear brand Hackett London, home of authentic men’s style has recently opened at the Kildare Village Outlet. I had the pleasure of meeting the man himself Jeremy Hackett, a true gentleman if ever there was one, he lives & breathes the essence of the brand. The store interior has been inspired by flagship stores and showrooms in major cities throughout the world. The new store will stock men’s, boys and accessories collections at reduced prices.

History of Hackett “From Second Hand to Luxury Brand”

Jeremy Hackett and Ashley Lloyd-Jennings met in the Portobello Road, combing the market for good second-hand clothes. From this auspicious meeting a business developed that is still thriving twenty-seven years after the opening of the first HACKETT shop in the New Kings Road in 1983. Selling second hand fine quality clothes and accessories, discovered in house clearances and antique markets, Hackett soon gained cult status amongst the sartorially inclined cognoscenti in London. The word quickly spread abroad and soon Americans and Japanese as well as French, Italians and other Europeans, were making the journey to the wrong end of the King’s Road in search of “le style Anglais”. It soon became apparent, however, that market demand would always exceed supply and Hackett and Lloyd-Jennings decided that the answer was to have new clothes made up from natural fibres in traditional English styles.

There are currently 61 Hackett stores plus numerous concessions and key menswear stockists worldwide.
