Purdey

Purdey Brand Shop

Purdey, with its headquarters at Audley House in the heart of Mayfair, London, is synonymous with British luxury & shooting. James Purdey established himself as a London gunsmith in 1814 and within just 10 years gained a reputation as the finest gunsmith in London.


A tradition that the house proudly upholds to this day with its London workshop and many years of experience in equipping customers for stylish shooting.


Purdey is a Purveyor to the Royal Court, honoured by the Queen, the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Edinburgh. In addition to rifles, the company produces sophisticated shooting and sportswear for men and women, as well as luxury luggage, glassware, leather goods and all kinds of accessories.


Rifles, clothing and accessories from Purdey are real investments that customers can enjoy for many years. Purdey guns are often passed down through several generations of the same family, emphasising the company's reputation for quality and passion for true craftsmanship.


Clothing and accessories - design with purpose

Purdey's collections offer elegant, tailored pieces that can be worn in any season and are timeless. Purdey stays true to its roots and draws inspiration from its extensive archives. Purdey focuses on neutral colour tones, beautiful fabrics and impeccable detailing to bring you beautiful and classic styles that you can wear anywhere.

Purdey's clothing and accessories are designed to ensure you always feel comfortable on a shoot, a weekend in the country or in the city. Purdey works with British suppliers and supports traditional craftsmanship. Purdey also supports local craftspeople who are helping to keep old manufacturing techniques alive. Craft culture is an important part of Purdey's DNA.

Proud to be part of British craft culture, Purdey draws on the expertise of tailors, weavers and leather manufacturers. Purdey works with some of the smallest independent producers in the British Isles to provide customers with the finest clothing.


The clothes are a combination of timeless luxury pieces to wear and mix and match. Whether for a weekend in the country or in the city.


Using authentic weaving techniques, Purdey has developed wonderful and uniquely textured fabrics. Tweeds and silks are handmade in the UK and produced in a sustainable, practical and long-lasting way, providing the perfect foundation for outerwear.


Soft cashmere knits and traditional argyle patterns are the perfect seasonless layering looks. The combination of modern shapes and classic Purdey features creates the perfect blend of sophistication, style and attention to detail.


Purdey places great emphasis on sustainability and has significantly reduced the amount of chemicals used in the manufacture of its products, using natural fibres such as nettles and stone nuts.

History of Purdey


Purdey is a traditional British luxury brand that was founded in London in 1814 by James Purdey. The company is particularly well known for its high quality firearms and hunting equipment, having established a reputation as a manufacturer of premium hunting guns. Purdey is synonymous with excellence, craftsmanship and precision and is closely associated with the British elite and the royal family.


The Purdey brand began as a small workshop in St James Street, London, where James Purdey began making shotguns. He quickly gained a reputation for his masterful craftsmanship and innovative engineering. In 1852, his son, Henry Purdey, took over the business and helped to expand the company. Purdey was the first to introduce the "Purdey triggers" he developed and the patented "self-opening mechanism" - innovations that are still valued in gunmaking today.


Over the decades, Purdey grew and established itself as a synonym for luxury and exclusivity. In 1914, the company moved to its current address on South Audley Street in London. The company's craftsmanship has influenced many generations of gunmakers and its products have always been prized by royalty, aristocrats, politicians and successful businessmen.


In the 1980s, Purdey was acquired by the Richemont Group, a global luxury goods conglomerate that also owns brands such as Cartier and Montblanc. This partnership helped Purdey to expand into international markets.
