Designer Brands at Ashworth and Bird
When you are shopping for designer brands in the UK, you have a lot of choice. There are the upmarket designer stores in London. You can shop online. And, there are no the big outlet shopping destinations too. So, it might come as a bit of a surprise to learn that one of the best UK stores for designer clothes is an online store owned by a chain of clothing shops that was founded in Barnsley 75 years ago.
Ashworth and Bird began trading as Frank Bird Menswear more than 75 years ago. Frank Bird opened his first shop in Barnsley, Yorkshire, in 1939. His goal was to supply the people of Barnsley with the best range of clothes he could. The shop opened just before beginning of the Second World War. A time when fashion was not the first thing on most people’s minds. Frank Bird’s commitment to quality and customer service saw the business flourish, though. It wasn’t too long before Frank Bird Menswear was opening a second shop in Wakefield.
Frank Bird menswear remained a family business for many years. When Frank Bird retried, the business was run by his son and daughter. The business was sold in 2013 and then the stores were rebranded to Ashworth and Bird.
Today, Ashworth and Bird have stores in Jersey, Wakefield, Barnsley, Reigate and Woking. There is also a superb online store on the Ashworth and Bird website. The online store has a huge range of designer brands on offer, including Hugo Boss, Hardie Amies, and Jacob Cohen.

If you want to hire a suit for a special occasion, Ashworth Bird also has a formal wear hire service.
