Burberry, Barbour, Gieves & Hawkes retain Royal Warrants

The names of the companies operating in Britain that have retained their Royal Warrants following the change of monarch in Britain have finally been published with Burberry, Barbour and Gieves & Hawkes staying on the list of the select group that have the royal seal of approval.

The death of Queen Elizabeth in 2022 saw Royal Warrants she’d awarded being voided and their holders having to wait and see if the new King would pick them up. 

Meanwhile those in receipt of a warrant from the then-Prince of Wales also had a wait to see whether they’d continue to make the list now he was King.

The Royal Warrant Holders Association (RWHA) said companies are eligible for what’s seen as a prestigious status if they supply products or services on a regular and ongoing basis to the Royal Households for no less than five years in the past seven-year period.

And with the King’s big focus on ecology, they also have to have strong eco credentials.

Those on the King’s list include (among others) tailor Anderson & Sheppard; jeweller Bentley and Skinner; skiwear specialist Braemar Mountain Sports: jeweller Cartier; Corgi Hosiery; footwear firm Crockett and Jones; clothier Daks Simpson; glove-maker Dents; Gieves & Hawkes, Barbour and Burberry, as mentioned; perfumer Floris; bootmaker John Lobb; knit specialist John Smedley; shoemaker RE Tricker; and shirtmaker Turnbull & Asser.
