Our Story
Established in the 1930s the workshop had, at the time it was rescued, an ageing workforce.
The world class artisan skills needed to be passed to a new generation so the Tony Lutwyche Academy was born.
It Needed a New Generation
Tony has been at the forefront of several initiatives ensuring the art of tailoring is not lost and that ‘Made in England’ continues, with relevance, in the 21st Century.
Whilst teaching the skills to be the next generation of Lutwyche tailors, the Academy has created a collection of outstanding Ready to Wear pieces.
Made entirely in England in our own workshop.
