If you love design-led fashion but you have a high street budget then there is surely only one place you head when you hit the high street; Reiss. The high end, high street store has been delivering quality fashion to the British public for nearly 45 years and it isn’t showing signs of slowing down any time soon.reissshop

The brand is still owned and run by its original founder David Reiss who opened the first store in Bishopsgate, London in 1971. Since then the brand has gone on to open 65 stores in the UK with over 100 outlets worldwide. Reiss stocks high quality menswear and womenswear, as well as accessories, and has developed a reputation that goes above and beyond the usual high street store.

The store goes for quality over quantity, which is why you won’t find the rails packed out like some of its high street sisters. The store themselves feel much more reminiscent of an upmarket boutique and their flagship store in London has won several awards including the RIBA Award and the BCO Award. The collections themselves are small, yet perfectly formed allowing them to create quality, investment pieces that will last more than a few seasons. Reiss is about style over fashion trends and their sharp tailoring is the perfect companion to any girl’s working wardrobe.

Reiss has a number of celebrity followers and even a Royal fan; Kate Middleton is particularly fond of the brand and has been known to wear Reiss for official engagements, normally resulting in the item selling out within hours. If you want to feel like royalty then why not book an appointment with one of Reiss’ personal shoppers or even take advantage of their personal tailoring service?

With plans to expand to over 250 stores worldwide Reiss is definitely still on the upward climb. Get down to your local store now; with autumn winter stock now on the rails it is the perfect time to splurge.
