Our Story

THEODORE emerged from the venerable art of bespoke textiles, meticulously crafted for connoisseurs of luxury with an affinity for the exquisite artistry of fashion. With a legacy that spans over half a century, we have perfected the alchemy of selecting superlative fabric blends, forging materials that endure and caress the body like a second skin-sumptuous and effortless.

Enter a world of refined elegance, where every detail conveys precision, sophistication, and creativity.

The genesis of THEODORE was nothing short of celestial inspiration. We found ourselves in perpetual discourse regarding the dearth of variety within men’s fashion, and from this dialogue, a vision was conceived. Our mission crystallised: to challenge conformity by crafting a spectrum of audacious hues, flattering silhouettes, and elevated classics; garments imbued with identity, purpose, and design. Armed with profound reverence for the quality of fine looms, we achieved an exquisite equilibrium. We discerned that within diversity resides divinity, and thus, THEODORE was birthed: an inclusive, artistic, and innovative sanctuary; a fashion house devoted to celebrating all forms while honouring the potency of exceptional materials and meticulous craftsmanship.

The Birth of Sartorial Art and Expressive Luxury
THEODORE, etymologically signifying a divine gift, embodies our approach to fashion as nothing less than a celestial endowment: one deeply rooted in heritage, creativity, and timeless elegance.

Our Brand Manifesto

It takes something truly out of this world to build the exceptional. To bring in innovation. To uncover a new narrative. To set standards that the world is yet to see, let alone know or understand. To transcend the temporal, to reinvent the fossilised order of aeons, to reimagine and yet to build an ideal that endures, takes something extraordinary.

An inspiration that comes from the ethereal - an inspiration that is divine. Nothing less will do for a brand of clothing for a generation of men who embody it. In their very presence. THEODORE is born from divine inspiration where the finest fabric meets renaissance craftsmanship. Where painstaking detailing weaves every stitch and tests every button. 

A rare few pieces of divinity rendered wearable for those who deserve it
