N.Peal

One of the longest-standing tenants of the Burlington Arcade, N.Peal was born in 1936 as a haberdashery store.

It started selling luxury knitwear after founder Nat Peal discovered a source in the Shetland Islands, where he was stationed during the Second World War. By the 1950s, Peal was considered Britain’s ‘King of Cashmere’, with customers including Sophia Loren, Marilyn Monroe and Princess Grace of Monaco.

Today, N.Peal sources its cashmere from sustainably run farms in Mongolia, and the Burlington Arcade flagship is a three-level showcase for the men’s, women’s and homeware collections. It also offers a bespoke service through which customers can have their chosen design hand-knitted to order.

In addition to many high profile customers, N.Peal are also an official James Bond partner and their sweaters have been worn by the secret agent in the films Skyfall, Spectre and No Time To Die. These featured styles are available in the Burlington Arcade store where you can learn more about the collaborative process of creating pieces for 007.
