Founded in 2016, Only the Blind is a British luxury brand based in London. Known for its distinctive blend of contemporary and streetwear styles, the brand designs high-quality pieces for both men and women. Its collections feature intricate embroidery, sophisticated designs and premium fabrics.
Available both online and in-store, Only the Blind can be found in renowned global retailers such as Selfridges, Harvey Nichols, Printemps, and Galeries Lafayette.
The brand’s latest collections combine timeless silhouettes with high-quality fabrics, refined details, and advanced embroidery techniques, showcasing its commitment to innovation and distinctive style.
Last year, the brand achieved a significant milestone by launching in Selfridges, Harvey Nichols across the UK, and Printemps Paris. This fulfilled a long-standing goal for the team:
‘‘These are stores we’ve wanted to work with for years and it was such a proud moment for the team to be stocked by them.’’
Alongside its expansion into global retailers, the brand has introduced Blake’s Club membership. Designed as an invitation-only program, it offers members access to limited-edition collections, private events and global perks.
‘‘Designed as an invitation-only community, the club builds intrigue through storytelling, exclusive product drops, and partnerships with select global retailers.’’
Only the Blind continues to strengthen its global presence through strategic partnerships in the UK, Middle East and US, reinforcing its position in the luxury fashion market.
The brand remains committed to sustainability and ethical production. It sources premium materials such as organic cotton fabrics and Japanese Selvedge denim to ensure the highest quality in every product.
Only the Blind skilfully balances contemporary sophistication with a sense of community, bringing its following closer together through the Blake’s Club membership.
As the brand continues to expand, its vision remains clear.
Founder Igor Ivanenko explains:
‘‘As we continue to scale, our vision remains clear: to offer sophisticated, contemporary designs that redefine modern luxury while fostering a strong, engaged community around the brand and we’re excited to work with new retailers and collaborations down the line.’’
