International Designer, Stewart Gray will showcase his Spring Summer 2017 Collection at Runway 2016 tomorrow at King’s Bastion, brand backed by Gibraltar-based firm Aestium.

The ‘Grays London’ Collection comprises of contemporary hand-made pieces inspired by traditional craftsmanship and classic European style, creating a modern and innovative edge to traditional luggage and accessories, whilst celebrating city elegance. Defined by precision stitching, Italian Hardware and aqua suede lining, quality nor expectations are ever sacrificed, the collection evokes a spirited, fresh, sexy masculine appeal.

G4 Sports offers a subtle alternative, combinations and thoughtful design work together to create a smart but casual edge that is typically Grays. The playful combination of the canvas and leather with the solid Italian hardware, gives the G4 collection an inventive yet playful appeal.

The Grays family has a long-standing tradition for appreciation of fine tailoring, design and style in London. In 1927 Stewart’s Great Uncle founded Grays of Hackney, London E8. A sound reputation for fine workmanship, style and quality, saw the business expand to 30 stores across London by late 1960s. Stewart Grays, second cousin of the founder, has the same enthusiasm for the family name and original values of the brand, that has been a major influence in the success of Grays brand’s today.
