About us

Our Beginnings (1988)

Bristol Threads was born in the bustling heart of Bristol in 1988, founded by the passionate and visionary Smith family. Starting as a small boutique on a quaint Bristol street, the goal was simple yet ambitious: to provide stylish, high-quality smart casual clothing for men and women. From day one, we’ve believed in blending sophistication with comfort, creating versatile pieces that fit seamlessly into every wardrobe.

A Family Legacy

As a family-owned business, Bristol Threads has always been about more than just clothing—it’s about connection. The Smith family poured their heart into the brand, focusing on personal touches and building long-lasting relationships with customers. This familial approach set us apart, creating a loyal community of fashion lovers who appreciate both the quality of our clothes and the care behind every stitch.

Expanding Horizons

Over the years, Bristol Threads grew from a small boutique into a recognised name in smart casual fashion. By combining timeless designs with contemporary trends, we struck a balance that resonated with our customers. Our collections evolved to suit the needs of modern lifestyles while staying true to our roots of offering elegant yet practical clothing.

Our Commitment to Quality

Quality has always been at the heart of Bristol Threads. We carefully select premium materials and work with skilled craftsmen to ensure every piece meets our high standards. From tailored blazers to versatile dresses, every garment reflects our dedication to excellence. We believe that great fashion should not only look good but also feel good and stand the test of time.

The Future of Bristol Threads

Today, Bristol Threads continues to thrive, with a loyal following across the UK and beyond. While the world of fashion evolves, our mission remains the same: to create smart casual wear that inspires confidence and style. As we expand our reach, both online and in-store, we remain committed to upholding the values that have guided us since 1988—family, quality, and timeless design.
