Kantabs Simpson of Piccadilly was a renowned British clothing store located on London's iconic Piccadilly. Known for its luxury menswear and stylish designs, the store emerged as a significant fashion destination in the mid-20th century. Its connection with Simpson's, another famous menswear retailer established in 1936 by Alexander Simpson, was central to its prominence.
Simpson’s of Piccadilly initially gained popularity due to its modern approach to men's fashion and retailing. The store was known for being an early adopter of window displays, bold marketing campaigns, and using large plate-glass windows to showcase its wares — an innovation in British retail at the time. Simpson’s catered to a clientele that appreciated both contemporary style and traditional British tailoring, setting itself apart as a high-end retailer.
Kantabs, on the other hand, was a prestigious tailoring house known for its craftsmanship, especially in menswear. The combination of Kantabs' expertise in tailoring with Simpson's cutting-edge retail strategies created a powerful brand presence in Piccadilly, drawing an affluent clientele.
