Many of it’s building remain from the Georgian and regency eras yet mixed in with the continuous developments that are ongoing across Mayfair. At the start of the row you have Ede & Ravenscroft and Gieves and Hawkes, two brands who until the passing of the late HRH The Duke of Edinburgh were 2 of only 14 brands to hold all 3 royal warrants.

Our country home in Cumbria
Although Digital Touch is based between the capital in London and the wonderful Cumbrian hills, Cumbria has a very special place amongst my heart. As a huge fan of branding and heritage I decided to look at some of the wonderful brands that England’s second largest county with the second smallest population has been home to some remarkable history and figures and some of the brands have been around for hundreds of years. Others are newly founded brands who have come to prominence in recent years.

Brands built for the 21st century
It is there that you’ll find one of my very favourite interior and gift stores in the UK, Niche. A family run business based in Barnard Castle with a Scandi twist to the interiors and gifts on offer, It houses some great British brands too such as Farrow & Ball but it has a magical mix of traditional and contemporary.
Why I founded Digital Touch
There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. We started with unique selling points or USP’s. Starting out with an idea, becoming an official project, creating a brand that would suit the purpose yet carry the name and tradition that the very name came with was a challenge but one that was very exciting.
