From the administrators' statement
Originally founded by designer Sir Hardy Amies, the brand originally traded at its flagship store at 14 Saviile Row, London, W1S 3JN since late 1945, before moving its main trading operation to premises located at 7/8 Saville Row (“the Premises”). Since commencing trading on this wellknown fashion high street, the brand had significant commercial success, which lead it to being a nationally renowned brand for providing high quality fashionwear.
Hardy Amies PLC, the predecessor company, entered Administration on 1 October 2008. Following a purchase of the business by Fung Capital Europe, Hardy Amies London Limited (“the Company”) was incorporated to continue trading under the Hardy Amies brand name.
The principal activity of the Company was to continue the retail and wholesale of men’s premium suits and men’s formal wear.
