Which fashion brand is owned by Dragon's Den investor Touker Suleyman?

Hawes & Curtis is a fashion brand owned by Dragon's Den investor Touker Suleyman.

Hawes & Curtis is a British shirtmaker founded in 1913 by Ralph Hawes and George Frederick Curtis. The brand became associated with formal shirts and later expanded its range of menswear and womenswear. Suleyman acquired the company in 2005, adding it to his wider fashion and retail interests.

The business is relevant to his Dragon's Den profile because he brings experience in product sourcing, clothing manufacture, retail operations and brand positioning. Those skills differ from the technology or food expertise of some other investors on the panel.

Hawes & Curtis is often confused with other British fashion names linked to Dragons or business television. The precise answer is the brand, not Suleyman's other fashion investment Ghost and not a retailer that merely sells similar products. Its founding date, 1913, also predates Suleyman's acquisition by many decades.
