A name to remember...
Feb 18
As London Fashion week is now upon us, Peregrine set off to exhibit the AW|12 collection at Moda.
Peregrine is showing predominantly Menswear, with a new selection of Harris tweed blazers, gilets, innovative wax jackets and stylish Merino wool knitwear, all in an array of bright colours. The show is a step up for Peregrine as buyers call for the brand to be shown in mid to high-end boutiques and Fashion stores within the UK, Europe and overseas as far as Japan and the US.
Made in England, Peregrine currently exports up to 70% of it's product overseas, but as an English heritage brand the call for original British production is at a high as more stockists become aware of the importance of British Design. Peregrine plan to take on more customers within the UK and overseas, spreading awareness of the brand amongst other iconic British lables.
Peregrine has recently been featured in the MWB (Menswear Buyer) magazine as an up and coming heritage brand and has now been branded by the editior as 'A name to remember' for 2012; featuring alongside Johnstons of Elgin, Farah 1920 and Seasalt, all who experiment with heritage design.

Peregrine visits New York...
Jan 26
With the AW|12 trade season upon us, Peregrine has taken to the Skies to visit both new and existing customers slightly further a field than in the UK.
First stop saw Peregrine parading the streets of New York with the new sample jackets and knitwear, undergoing some extensive 'market research' while being stopped in the streets by one Gentlemen and asked "Wow! Who is that jacket made by and where can I get it!?" The feeling surrounding the new range is becoming increasingly confident as we gain more and more feedbac k from customers and professionals, both inside and outside of the UK.
Following meetings in the US, the brand explored NY, taking inspiration from retail window displays as we plan our next 'Pop Up store' in London and also look to participate in an NY trade show in the next coming year to expand the Brand further overseas.
Talking to people in and around NY aswell as seeing the famous sights, the Peregrine story is greatly admired, as many people often agree a story sells a product just as much as the design itself. With New York itself being built upon a great Heritage, Peregrine appeared to blend in very well within its surroundings, yet still managed to turn a few heads every now and again!
Without giving away too much, the new range focuses on enhancing our strongest styles, continuing to produce handcrafted tailoring and British styling that followers have come to know and love over the last 50 years. Peregrine introduces even brigher colours including bold Yellows and Reds similar to that NY's yellow taxi cab and the Red London Bus; strong wax quilted patches and soft textured Merino knits create a range that is not only classical but also more stylish than ever before.
So here's to re-visiting New York next year with even more stories to tell!

New London Stockists....123 Bethnal Green.
Dec 19
With the cold weather well and truely here to stay, chilly offices and the countdown to Christmas distracting us from work, we'd like to introduce a few of our newer London Stockists which may be worth visiting on your travels to and from the office, or over the forthcoming holidays.
Throughout November and December we have been delighted to stock a new store '123 Bethnal Green' nr Brick Lane. The 123 Boutique Store is a favoured destination today for those seeking innovative fashions by new British designers, with the newly restored Victorian building that boasts the same rich heritage as Peregrine, we couldn't be happier 123 found us when they did.
An interesting feature to the boutique store which separates 123 from other East London surroundings is the two week 'Disappearing Dining Club' concept that currently features within the grade II Listed building, 'Too Much is Never enough' combines gifts and fashion with a restaurant atmosphere, serving different courses upon dfferent floors of the 123 building space while offering 10% off of all boutique purchases during the evening.
123 Bethnal Green sells the classically styled Peregrine Aran jumper, manufactured by J.G Glover & Co for over 100 Years, encouraging the smaller scale designer operations that define the industry today and which stores like 123 thrive upon; recently named by the Telegraph as one of London's most stylish ethical fashion boutiques and gift shops, we urge our customers that follow the Peregrine story to visit the 123 store, experience it's character and concept as they explore imaginative ways to bring old styles back to life. 
Peregrine Aran jumper- Ecru.

Thunderstorms & Gales galore...
Dec 13
Just as we all begin travelling around visiting friends and family over the festive period; once again the British weather has other ideas in store for us. This morning whilst driving through hail stones that resembled white rocks falling furiously from the sky, I couldn't help but think back to a photo we once recieved from Topher- a friend and loyal supporter of the brand from the States.
Topher braved the elements during the storms of Hurricane Irene as she hit NY, taking the ultimate opportunity to show the extreme conditions his beloved antique wax TT jacket had been faced with.
Now with the weather forecasts predicting 100mph+ winds and many Towns and Cities across the UK already facing harder weather conditions, we wouldn't usually encourage our customers to risk their wellbeing, just to help us prove a point; but this light-hearted photo certainly showed that with a little help from Peregrine, Topher came out laughing, even if a little damp to say the least!
We love to see where our jackets end up, so please send your photos across.
