We are Londoners…
We are Londoners at heart, and our new venture needed a name. We came across it by chance on one of our regular walks around our city. CRANBOURN Street in the West End of London was constructed in the 1670s and was originally home to shops serving the gentry with high-quality goods.
William Hogarth served an apprenticeship in a shop on the street in 1713, and his two sisters ran a nearby linen draper’s shop. This heritage, and the fact that London has been a centre for many centuries for trade, commerce, and art, clearly expressed what we wanted to achieve.
London cosmopolitanism: where tradition meets innovation
Today’s London is a vibrant, cosmopolitan, and culturally diverse city. With a population of over 8 million, London boasts over 300 languages and is home to more than 270 nationalities. The buzz and atmosphere that such diversity brings are what makes London a world-leading creative hub, where the best of British traditions and heritage combine with many cultures.
This cosmopolitanism and vibrancy have helped shape our Company and define the products we make today.
Creativity and Innovation
This melting pot of heritage, culture, and fresh ideas catalyses creativity, enabling some of the most globally innovative products, entertainment and services available. This is today’s London and our London.
We are influenced by the best of tradition and new ideas from around the world, brought together by our open-minded and talented team of perfumers and designers. This cosmopolitan London talent pool meant that from the outset, our designers and perfumers had previous experience working with many of the most renowned global luxury brands.
