Drake's Store

Michael Drake established Drake's in 1977 in East London, just a short stroll from Spitalfields, the historic center of the city's silk industry. The company began as a manufacturer of men's "Scarves, Shawls, and Plaids," but it quickly branched out into the production of handkerchiefs and ties, earning a reputation for excellence among upscale shops and department stores in Paris, Milan, Tokyo, and New York.
