Hampstead will always be our spiritual home, wherever we are in the world. The little green village that sits within the city that is London represents a coming together of town and country, renowned for its artistic, intellectual and literary history.

Our CUSTOMER The Hobbs customer is 35-55, affluent and urban. She is a grown up woman with a busy life, who works hard, most often managing a professional job, with important family life. She wants quality wardrobe solutions, beautifully elegant clothes that offer multiple wears and she can trust to take her from morning meetings to Sunday lunch and that special occasion. Fickle fashion doesn t interest her but she wants to look on trend, elegant and appropriate. She loves clean colour, a conversational print, and values good tailoring and a flattering fit. She wants quality pieces at the right price and equates value with the number of wears. Discerning in her taste, and selective in her choices, she has high expectations but rewards brands she trusts and loves with her lifetime loyalty.

Our manifesto Life is an adventure, every step requires judgement, confidence, vision and trust. Without trust in ourselves, we d never talk to that stranger, accept that invitation, or lean in for that first kiss. Without trust we d do nothing at all. The Hobbs woman trusts herself, knows herself. Experience has given her that quiet confidence. That self assurance. Fickle fashions don t interest her in style or in life. Hobbs is her elegant armour, her constant companion at parties and presentations and evening receptions, her discreet plusone at weddings. With Hobbs she is always the well-dressed host. Polish. Poise. Presence. Cool of head but warm of heart. Buttoned-down is not the same as buttoned-up. We have earned our place in her wardrobe, her trust with our consistency, her loyalty through our quality, our values, our flattering fits. We reward the trust she places in us, living up to the standards she has come to expect. Timeless clothes designed with consideration. Service driven by our understanding of her. In herself she trusts. In life she trusts. In Hobbs She trusts.
