&SONS
&SONS is a men’s clothing brand that offers workwear inspired pieces, including jackets, shirts and accessories. &SONS mainly operates via its online store, but the company also has two physical shops, one in Cheltenham, which opened in 2021 and one in London. The business was founded by advertising photographer Phil James, who, while working as a photographer, wore vintage workwear-style clothing that would withstand the physical demands of his job. He wanted to remain stylish but struggled to source clothing from a single store. The search for quality workwear, which would serve Phil’s practical needs, led to the launch of the brand in 2016. The shop also offers customers the chance to buy repaired stock and items from previous seasons, enhancing the brand’s sustainability efforts.

Fairfax & Favor
Fairfax & Favor is a Norfolk-based clothing brand selling men’s and women’s clothing and accessories, both online and via its six stores. The company began with a focus on boots and shoes, but also now stocks a range of accessories, bags and clothing. Marcus Fountaine and Felix Parker combined their middle names to create the Fairfax & Favor brand when they were 15 years old. In 2013, the childhood friends returned from university and decided to revive the brand, focusing on selling hand-crafted leather boots. The pair travelled to Spain where they ordered 400 pairs of hand-made boots which they sold at the Holkham Country Fair. The success at the country fair funded the next event, which led to the initial growth in the brand. Fairfax & Favor took part in its first US trade show in 2023, as it now plans to enter the US market.
