History
Drake's was founded in 1977 by three former Aquascutum employees: Michael Drake, Jeremy Hull, and Isabel Dickson.[1] The original Drake’s collection was composed of men’s scarves.[2] Drake’s went on to produce handmade ties and pocket squares, for which it is now known.
When Michael Drake retired in 2010, Drake's was acquired and taken over by Michael Hill,[3] Michael Drake’s previous understudy and lead designer, and Mark Cho,[4] co-founder of The Armoury
