Ted Baker

Trust the British they say, and in their own words; this designer brand is "No Ordinary Designer Label" and with decades of exponential growth, it's easy to see why the fashion world awes at Ted Baker so much. When you buy Ted Baker bags or a piece of their clothing, this is one of the few brands that work on the "what you see is what you get" model, meaning the products always go above and beyond to be so perfect a camera can capture them to the full extent; allowing customers to enjoy something they otherwise wouldn't have if it was a different brand.

Ted Baker has such a vast range that you can theoretically build an entire outfit with just Ted Baker products from the top, Ted Baker glasses, right down to Ted Baker shoes. This is quite amazing to think that this relatively new and small British brand in the fashion world can create you something so wonderful and complete your outfit.

Colour and design have always been a main focus for the company, allowing customers to feel ultra-unique with their fashion pieces. Since the founding of the company, every collection contains an array of different colours that can woo customers effortlessly, from light beiges in women’s coats to bright pinks in the pendants of Ted Baker necklaces and deep blues in maxi dresses. This brand has almost anything you could ever ask for from a premium designer fashion house.

Ted Baker is one of the most popular designer brands for men and women at our store, not only for the elegant design that goes into every product and its product information but also because of the brilliant high-quality craftsmanship this London fashion house has shown. At Linvelles, we've handpicked the absolute best from Ted Baker for you to fall in love with!

The History of Ted Baker

Ted Baker London is a brand that is named after a non-existent person, founded in a city far away from London, selling things most companies didn't care about. But to most, that's inconsistent; to us, that just speaks volumes about a company that has grown from a small retailer to one of the UK's largest fashion houses and their determination to make it.

Founded in Glasgow in the year 1988 by Ray Kelvin, the brand opened its first store intending to be a dress shirt specialist. When the company was founded, Mr Kelvin aimed to make sure quality and experience were the main priorities for his new brand, and to this day, you can see this occurrence in products like their Ted Baker handbags and shopper bags. After its founding, the brand blew up within a few years into the national market and became a household name in the UK.

After a few years of rapid growth, the brand expanded across the UK and based its main headquarters and stores in the UK, with the most famous being based in the world-renowned Covent Garden, where the brand began selling Ted Baker coats, dresses, and skater dresses for the fierce London market.

Over the years, the brand continued growing and started being comparable to the likes of Burberry and Gucci from London and Milan. With growth of this magnitude, the brand was bound to be a huge deal in the Asian markets. By 2007, Ted Baker launched stores in Hong Kong, Bangkok, three in Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, two each in Dubai and Jakarta—a remarkable feat for a small British fashion designer company.

One fact that most people don't know—and that we find quirkily funny—is that Ted Baker is not a man, a family name, or even a dead monarch. Ted Baker is a random name that came up in a conversation the founder, Ray Kelvin, had when thinking of names for his brand. He decided to ensure he wasn't the face of his own brand. This fact is something we find quite cool, not only because it speaks about the modesty of Kelvin but also because, to this day, Ted Baker is thought to be an actual man, much like how Tommy Hilfiger is.

Regardless of the discombobulating past, Ted Baker UK will forever win the hearts of the global fashion industry with modest and charming designs and a London vibe many companies try hard to emulate.

Signature Designs

Ted Baker, like other UK designer brands, loves its signature designs. These can be seen literally everywhere, most commonly in Ted Baker purses, shoulder bags, and jewellery.

One of the most prominent and beautiful signature design cues is the Ted Baker signature bow. This bow, reminiscent of Minnie Mouse made by Disney, is one of the most instantly recognizable features of their crossbody bags and tote bags. Not only does the bow enhance the elegance of their bags, shoes, or dresses, but it also acts as a cherry on top of an elegantly styled product.

Another exquisite feature of Ted Baker's collection is its logo itself, often written in white or gold in the Futura Medium font, spelling out "TED BAKER." This logo is centrally placed on products like perfumes, bags, and trainers, showcasing that you're wearing a fashion piece made by one of the most prestigious fashion houses in the UK. This logo has become a staple of UK fashion life, adorning fashionistas from Europe and Asia.

Ted Baker ensures that their products are easily identifiable among other brands, and the design cues above help you recognize a Ted Baker piece from a crowd of unoriginal competitors.
