Allsaints

Introduction

Since its humble beginnings in 1994 as a wholesale menswear brand, All Saints has gone from strength to strength. As at the start of 2011, the brand currently boasts 63 stand-alone... stores and 47 concessions in many worldwide locations, selling menswear, womenswear, childrenswear, accessories and even homeware. However, it has not been all smooth sailing for the All Saints brand name. In 2010, the label was on the brink of failure after the collapse of two Icelandic banks, both of which had heavy financial investment in the brand. However, All Saints Chairman Kevin Stanford battled with administrators and after intervention of the high court – managed to retain control. The All Saints label seems to be back on track financially after an injection of fresh finance from British banking group Lloyds TSB.
