When we set up Hervia we wanted to give our clients the opportunity to acquire some of the best established design on the planet and also be amongst the first to support the newest talent producing exquisite clothing, jewellery and accessories.

In 1993 Oscar Pinto founded Hervia, a trailblazing concept that was the first to stock debut collections from the late Alexander McQueen, Helmut Lang and Hussein Chalayan.

The brand is named after Oscar’s mother, Hervia and when the first shop opened in Manchester’s Royal Exchange it became a legendary fashion hang-out. Oscar was devoted to Vivienne Westwood’s iconoclastic style long before she became accepted into the mainstream and It wasn’t long before Hervia was named by Vogue as one of the UK’s finest designer stores.

Dramatically, the first Hervia was destroyed when an IRA bomb wreaked devastation on Manchester in 1996.

Undaunted, Oscar went on to become hugely successful retailers of Vivienne Westwood, opening seven stores throughout the UK. Now they have decided to re-launch the original concept as Hervia Bazaar aiming not only to fill in the design gap that seems to have opened up in the UK’s north west but to support and promote high-end fashion and home-grown design talent to a worldwide clientele via the Hervia Bazaar website. It is here you’ll find pieces for both men and women that have been chosen for their innate design quality, exclusivity and above all because they should make the wearer feel utterly amazing.

Already the fashion world is buzzing about the new concept, and those niche, new and up-and-coming designers love the concept because they don’t have to compromise their vision. They are simply allowed the freedom to present their collections to Hervia Bazaar as they wish. This means that what the customer gets from Hervia Bazaar are garments and accessories that embody all the original excitement, innovation and dynamism of the person who created them.

Characteristics: Connoisseurs of covetable high quality clothing and accessories that have all the hallmarks of heirlooms of the future.

Celebrity following: Preferring to be discreet about their famous clientele but will admit to having Take That, Anna Friel and Anne Hathaway amongst their customers and following the success of the Vivienne Westwood label, they were asked to work with Vivienne on the UK stores.
