Browns changed the course of fashion retail history when it opened in 1970, as a leader in fashion and the UK's first multi-brand luxury boutique. A champion of next generation design, Browns continues its legacy, sourcing fresh talent to add to its ever-growing community of creative innovators.

Joan and Sidney Burstein purchase Browns from Sir William Piggott Brown in 1968. In 1970, they launch their new luxury fashion boutique on South Molton Street in the heart of London’s Mayfair.

Expanding their horizons further, in 1976 Browns opens up on Sloane Street, in another of London’s most luxurious destinations.
