Marcus Wainwright & David Neville

Company profile

From its origins in New York in 2002, rag & bone instantaneously distinguished itself by combining their British heritage with directional, modern design. Today, Marcus Wainwright and David Neville’s brand has become synonymous with innately wearable clothing that innovatively melds classic tailoring with an edgy yet understated New York aesthetic.
Inspired by a desire to create beautifully constructed clothes, with no formal fashion training, the expats immersed themselves in the time-honored techniques of supremely skilled, local manufacturers at some of the oldest factories in the country. The importance of quality, expert craftsmanship and attention to detail resonated deeply, informing rag & bone’s core philosophy.
With a downtown sensibility, signature clean silhouettes and an inherent integrity – each piece is impeccably crafted from the finest materials available and approached from a form and function design standpoint – rag & bone continuously redefines urban style.
In 2007, rag & bone won the Swarovski Award for emerging talent in Menswear and in 2010, Wainwright and Neville were bestowed the industry’s most prestigious honor when named Menswear Designers of the Year by the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA).
As the label continues to expand, rag & bone has come to embody effortless cool in the international fashion world.
rag & bone offers a full range of men’s and women’s ready to wear, shoes and accessories collections.
There are currently six rag & bone stores in New York City. Flagship stores are also in operation in Washington D.C. and Boston. The brand’s first international boutique opened in Tokyo in 2010.
In July 2012, rag & bone opened its first European flagship store in London. In August 2012, rag & bone opened a store in Seoul, South Korea.
