MITCHELLS JOURNEY WEST

We want to share an exciting new opportunity for our business.  Last week we entered into an agreement to purchase San Francisco’s premier specialty store Wilkes Bashford.

Wilkes Bashford opened his first store in Union Square in 1966 and currently also has a store in Palo Alto, a suburb about 30 minutes from downtown.  For over 40 years, he has offered the finest quality men’s and women’s merchandise available to the Bay Area’s most discerning customers.

We have long been acquainted with Wilkes, work with many of the same world-renowned designers and share a similar aesthetic as well as a like commitment to impeccable customer service and community involvement.  Our vendors are supportive of this merger.

“Mitchells’ retail philosophy merges family-oriented service with modern business principles. We look forward to continuing our long and successful relationship with the Mitchell family in their new venture with Wilkes Bashford,” said Todd Barrato, President of Brioni North America.

“With this move the legacy of this historic specialty store will be continued by a family that will truly respect their values of luxury retail,” said Brunello Cucinelli.

“Ermenegildo Zegna is thrilled to see two of our industry’s most important specialty store retailers coming together.  We believe that the combination of Mitchells, with their renowned customer service and retailing expertise, and Wilkes Bashford, with its prestige and history as one of the nation’s finest specialty stores, is an ideal fit.  I’m sure the customers in the San Francisco Bay Area will benefit, as will our industry” – Robert Ackerman, President & CEO, North America.

You all can be assured while we start a new chapter in our company’s history that we remain 100% committed to Mitchells / Richards / Marshs and this partnership will only strengthen our ability to bring you the finest quality men’s and women’s merchandise available…now on both coasts!

Warmest regards,

The entire Mitchell Family

Brunello Cucinelli Comes to Richards

We were thrilled to host one of our favorite designers, Brunello Cucinelli, in Richards of Greenwich, CT! Mr. Cucinelli flew in from Italy to spend an informal and informative afternoon with us, treating us to a preview of looks from his stunning Resort/Spring 2010 collection. We lunched on an elegant Italian spread of delicious meat and cheese antipastos, while models dressed in Cucinelli intermingled with guests for two hours.

Lunch was followed by a speech by Cucinelli about his warm relationship with the Mitchell family. Mr. Cucinelli spoke eloquently about his passion for giving back and how people buying his clothes enables him to support some wonderful initiatives in Italy that are close to his heart. (Read more here.) Mr. Cucinelli’s philosophy on family and community parallels that of the Mitchell family and has long strengthened the business and personal relationship between the two families.

It was a beautiful afternoon, literally and figuratively, despite torrential rain outside. We thank the many dedicated Cucinelli aficionados that ventured out!
