Hello everyone, Autumn Winter 2021 will be our 44th collection and this season is one of the strongest collections we have ever produced. I am very proud of what we have achieved, and I’m excited to share it with you Rather than struggling with disruption, we are embracing change, listening to you, our clients and developing new products fit for purpose. This begins with our new website to better showcase our products to you whilst you are on the go - moving between meetings or working from home, struggling to find time to shop or generally grasping at ideas on how to dress in a fractured and fast-changing work environment. Just as our lifestyles continue to evolve so do the clothes that we wear. Dress For Your Day™ is a concept that many of us grapple with, as we leave the structure and security of a dark suit and fresh shirt and look at how we can create five outfits a week. This season has an expanded collection of casual tailoring, and a comprehensive new knitwear programme, including jackets and even knitted trousers. We have also developed our most technical garments ever, with the introduction of the car coat, a fully waterproof three-quarter coat with detachable liner. Soft shirts, casual pants, jeans, cargo pockets and drawstrings are not things you might have automatically associated with Crane Brothers, but we have always strived to meet our clients’ needs. Tailoring, especially made-to-measure, remains at the very heart of everything we touch and make, and we have turned that skill to producing beautiful casual garments suitable for the lives we lead today. I hope you enjoy the new collection and our online home, and look forward to hearing your thoughts and feedback. - Murray Crane |
