Knatchbull: The First B Corp Tailoring House on Savile Row – Knatchbull

In 2024, Knatchbull became the first B Corp–certified tailoring house on Savile Row, marking a milestone not only for our own journey, but for the street that has defined craftsmanship for more than two centuries.

As a house dedicated to women’s tailoring, responsible creation, and the quiet pursuit of excellence, B Corp certification reflects the standards we have always held: clarity of purpose, uncompromising craft, and a deep respect for the people and processes behind every garment.

Today, Knatchbull stands proudly alongside other B Corp–certified luxury fashion houses — from Chloé, the first global luxury maison to achieve the certification, to Mulberry, the British leather goods house recognised for its progressive sustainability commitments.

But it also affirms something more powerful — that the future of Savile Row is being shaped by those who choose to build consciously.

A Historic First for Savile Row

Savile Row has long been synonymous with exacting craft. Yet in its 200‑year history, the street has never had a B Corp–certified tailoring house until Knatchbull earned the distinction in 2024.

This achievement places Knatchbull in a global community of businesses committed to verified social and environmental accountability — and sets a new benchmark for women’s tailoring in the UK. Recognised globally, Knatchbull is the first UK made‑to‑measure tailoring house to achieve B Corp status, underscoring our commitment to responsible luxury.

Our B Impact Score of 83.0, confirmed by B Lab, further demonstrates this dedication, exceeding the 80‑point threshold required to join the global B Corp movement.

What B Corp Means at Knatchbull

For us, B Corp is not a badge — it is the formalisation of principles that have shaped our atelier from the beginning.

Craft With Integrity

We work exclusively with heritage mills across the UK and Europe, valuing long relationships and responsible sourcing — practices central to our sustainability philosophy.

Tailoring Designed for Women — and Real Life

Our garments are created with purpose: generous inlays for life’s changes, precision tailoring informed by centuries‑old craft, and a quiet elegance carried through each silhouette. Knatchbull has always approached tailoring from a deeply female perspective, placing women’s needs at the heart of every fit and detail.

A House Led by Women

Knatchbull is the first women‑only shopfront in Savile Row’s history, and we continue to champion female talent throughout every part of the business.

Transparency & Accountability

B Corp certification required rigorous examination across governance, workers, community, environment, and customers — a process that validated our long‑term investment in responsible practice.

Sustainability, Woven In

At Knatchbull, responsibility begins long before the first stitch is placed. Our approach centres on:

Small‑batch, made‑to‑measure or bespoke tailoring that avoids overproduction
Timeless design intended to be worn, loved, and adapted over decades
A supply chain built on heritage, knowledge, and transparency
Ethical partnerships at every stage, from cloth selection to finishing

Our sustainability commitments are not a marketing initiative. They are the foundation of our work — and they continue to evolve as we do.

Shaping the Future of Savile Row

Knatchbull was founded to give women the same level of service, craft, and respect that Savile Row has offered men for generations. Today, as the street’s first B Corp tailoring house, we are proud to help redefine what responsible luxury looks like.

This certification belongs not just to our team, but to everyone who steps through our doors — women who expect craft, care, and consciousness to sit side by side.

We believe the future of Savile Row is one where heritage and responsibility reinforce one another. And we are honoured to stand at the front of that future.
