The Stanley Lewis brand launched in August 2008, and as a new player in a highly competitive industry we had many people commenting that our timing could not have been worse. With the global financial crisis just hitting and a veil of fear of the unknown hanging overhead, we thought otherwise, and like most decisions in life often these decisions are made for you. We believed, with the extreme competiveness of the comparable products in the gentlemen’s accessory category, what better time was there to present a brand that was new, innovative and unique. Stanley Lewis.

Let me give you a brief insight into how Stanley Lewis began; In my previous life I spent far too much time sitting in transit lounges, watching with both admiration and appreciation, those well dressed execs in their bespoke suiting, magnificent silk ties, Egyptian cotton shirts, designer cufflinks and then disappointment as I would scroll down and discover the inevitably mismatched, often pilled, navy, black or charcoal socks! Ugh! Why do men go to so much trouble and expense in getting the look right only to lose it in the detail?

This is where Stanley Lewis makes a difference. Stanley Lewis does care about the detail in designer dressing and with the introduction of Italian made socks replicating the silk design of our hand made Italian ties, we now have men thinking before they don that humble sock and destroy what has been in the past like an incomplete opera!

Finally no longer will those so often mismatched and boring socks be the focal point when seated. Our designs and colors are purposely created to inspire even the dullest suit by injecting a balance between the tie and sock never previously seen.

Men’s Style magazine says “…This makes so much sense it beggars belief it hasn’t been considered before. A man who takes care in the details can now pull his socks up to the standard of his tie, in one step…”

Stanley Lewis believes in the importance of presentation whether it be personal or material. The Stanley Lewis boxes are individually hand made with meticulous care and attention and have received accolades globally. Our cufflink box deserves special mention as it has been hand crafted in leather and suede by one of Italy’s finest.

The past 3 years have been focussed on developing and expanding the Stanley Lewis collection of unique gentleman’s accessories. Our recently introduced cufflinks are of 925 silver and handmade by the best craftsmen in Italy. The unique designs of Cabochon and Intaglio, use mythological gods to reflect an era of romance and seduction. This rare and exquisite craft dates back as far as the Mesopotamians and requires a technique and skill exclusive to the Tagliamonte family. Stanley Lewis and Tagliamonte work proudly together in the creation of these masterpieces.

Our first Pochette and Scarf range will be available soon.

Personally, one of the amazing highlights of the Stanley Lewis journey has been the cementing of long term business relationships with some of Italy’s most gifted craftspeople; proudly we now call many of these people friends!

In keeping our commitment to deliver a brand that is innovative and exciting, the Stanley Lewis website has been created to deliver you a truly unique and informative experience.

Our aim has been not to be just a Shopping Cart site, so each month all registered readers of the Stanley Lewis website will receive a new article via email from our Stanley’s Society section. We have invited some amazing people to share their wealth of knowledge and wisdom with you. We hope you enjoy reading this section as much as we have enjoyed its’ development.

And finally, we are extremely excited about the introduction of the Stanley’s Society Philanthropic section. We are currently in dialogue with many charitable institutions across the world and hope to have more information to give you in the next month or two; after all, Stanley Lewis is ‘Inspired by the need for balance’.

Ciao,
