Our
Story
A collection of like-minded individuals who want elevated pieces in their wardrobe made by hand in England with the best materials from all over the world.
From Bedroom to Full Production
Founded by Charlie in late 2020, GLORYDAYS© started as casual printed tees and hats run from a single bedroom. In late 2021, Charlie went full-time, investing in a larger production space, industrial equipment, and photography gear to establish GLORYDAYS© as a legitimate UK fashion entity.
From late 2021 until June 2022, we spent 6 long months, 16 hours a day, 7 days a week, learning pattern making and sewing production. We didn't drop a single item of clothing. We were dedicated to mastering our craft.
In June 2022, we dropped the Carpenter Suit, a piece that remains our best seller to this day. It marked the beginning of what GLORYDAYS© was always meant to be: a truly homegrown, fully in-house manufactured label.
What We Stand For
100% Made in England
We are now 100% Made in England by our own in-house production team, partnering with English suppliers and mills. Every aspect from cloth selection to final stitch happens right here.
Traditional Design Methods
We use traditional pen-on-paper design methods, extensive fabric testing, and focus on timeless rather than trend-driven aesthetics. Every piece is designed to be a wardrobe staple.
In-House Manufacturing
Our in-house production enables diverse design offerings, deadstock pieces, limited editions, and bespoke items while maintaining quality and sustainability standards.
Sustainable Practices
In-house production ensures considerate material sourcing and favorable working conditions. We create elevated, handmade staple pieces that prioritize craftsmanship and longevity over fast fashion.
