ORIGINS
Crown & Charter was born from a reverence for an era when elegance was not merely an accessory, but a way of life. Inspired by the timeless beauty of old-world grandeur, the brand seeks to capture the essence of a time when craftsmanship and attention to detail were paramount, and every garment told a story. At its core, Crown & Charter is an homage to these glorious eras—moments when royalty and nobility moved through life with effortless grace, where style was a reflection of inner refinement.
In crafting its identity, Crown & Charter draws from the values and attributes of a forgotten age, reimagining them through the lens of modern fashion. This is a brand for the discerning individual who finds allure in the juxtaposition of the past and present—who embraces the romance of history but lives in the vibrancy of today.
The inspiration behind the brand draws from a remarkable event in history: the restoration of the Crown Jewels of England after the English Civil War. Following the destruction of much of the royal regalia, artisans were tasked with recreating these precious symbols of power and heritage. The master craftsmen responsible for this monumental task not only restored the physical treasures of the monarchy but also revived the spirit of tradition, linking the future of the crown with its storied past. This act of preservation and rebirth inspired Crown & Charter to take the same approach—honoring the elegance and grandeur of history while creating pieces that resonate with the modern world. Just as the Crown Jewels were restored to their former glory, so too does Crown & Charter restore the timeless elegance of fashion to today’s discerning audience.
In every collection, Crown & Charter weaves the elegance of heritage with contemporary flair, creating timeless pieces that honor the past while shaping the future.
