Look! Look at these awesome old-school photos that the team from Faux sent us, showing off their original factory and showroom. The brand’s been about since 1919, and aside from a brief period of relocation to Wales (to avoid the blitz hit Capital) the business has always been London based and family run.
Starting out just after World War One with a commission to produce handmade coats for President Kennedy’s daughter Caroline, the brand grew so fast (whilst still keeping production UK based) they were awarded a Queen’s award for export and even branched into the world of Hollywood – supplying costume faux fur
coats for many of movies snowiest moments.
