For almost two centuries, Holland & Sherry has been providing the world’s finest fabrics to the apparel industry. Then fourteen years ago, Bryan Dicker, below, founded the estimable interiors division, known for its luxurious textiles, custom embroideries, rugs, wall coverings, leathers and handcrafted accessories.

The new store, as Dicker explained, is the culmination of all that Holland & Sherry is and does.  For years, Dicker kept the interiors division separate in order to create its own story before merging with the well established legacy of the apparel side. Since its inception, the younger branch has grown to eight locations worldwide selling exclusively to the trade. Now, finally merging the two siblings, Holland & Sherry Bespoke represents the first retail venture for the firm in its over 180 year existence.

The new store combines products from both the fashion and interior sides, with a focus on the company’s unique custom capabilities. The bespoke menswear department features custom suiting and shirting of their own plus exclusive offerings from upscale Chicago line Oxxford as well as ready to wear accessories.
