In 1750 James Swaine bought a whip making business in Piccadilly, and a royal appointment to King George III quickly followed.

Over the next century the reputation and product range expanded and Swaine found himself providing bags and umbrellas to the aristocracy of the day.

Today the company still uses time-honoured crafting processes for producing fine attaché cases and leather bags.

At Charles Stanley we admire this considered way of doing business and like to think that our suit approach to financial planning puts us in the same company.
