Hackett Limited is a multi-channel British menswear retailer, specialising in formal men’s shirts as well as other clothing. It was founded in 1979 in London by Jeremy Hackett.

History

Hackett was founded in 1979 by Jeremy Hackett and Ashley Lloyd-Jennings from a stall on London's Portobello Road.[1] The first shop, on the "wrong end" of King's Road, in London Chelsea district, was selling only used clothes.[2]

The company gradually expanded over several years, increasing the number of branches and moving from acquiring and selling second-hand clothing to designing and selling its own items. International expansion began with the 1989 opening of a Spanish branch in Madrid.[3]

In 1994, Hackett opened a shop at the Rive Gauche in Paris before adding children’s clothes to its collection a year later.[3]

In June 2005, Richemont sold Hackett Limited to the Spanish investment company Torreal S.C.R., S.A..[1]

Hackett appointed American creative director Michael Sondag, who joined Hackett from Tommy Hilfiger in 2005.[4][5]

Hackett London is the official clothing supplier to the Williams Martini Racing team from the 2015 season onwards.[6]

In February 2015, Hackett London (part of the Pepe Jeans Group) has been bought by Lebanese M1 Group and by LVMH subsidiary : L Capital Asia. The company were previously owned by Torreal Funds (31 percent), Artá Capital (16.4 percent), L Capital Europe (11.5 percent) and its managers. [7]
