History
Osborne & Little was established by Sir Peter Osborne (father of Conservative Party politician George Osborne) and his brother-in-law Antony Little.[3] The company's shop, in the King's Road, Chelsea, put it in the heart of Swinging London.[4]
Little was the designer – he had been responsible for Biba's distinctive black and gold logo – and created most of the company's early ranges.
