British Boxers design and make cotton nightwear and underwear. Initially selling at artisan markets in 2013, the company now sells online and to over 50 outlets, including Harrods, and are raising to hire professional marketing expertise and expand its range.
At British Boxers we design and make comfortable cotton nightwear and underwear.
We started selling the classic British-made men’s boxer short in 2013, but soon expanded our range, selling directly to the public at british-boxers.com and wholesale to over 50 outlets, including Harrods, as well as continuing to sell at artisan markets so we can meet and talk to our customers face to face – retail is all about customers.
To date, we have sold over 15,000 pieces with over £250k turnover since incorporation.
We have a distinct brand identity with a convincing back-story and believe we are well placed to develop our range to exploit identified growth areas in loungewear and athleisure clothing, ensuring that new product launches continually reinvigorate the brand. Our women’s hipster briefs have launched this month to coincide with our launch on Crowdcube!
