Alfred Dunhill, Ltd.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alfred Dunhill, Ltd. is a British-based company, specializing in leather goods, writing implements, lighters, timepieces, fragrances and clothing. The business was developed by Alfred Dunhill after he inherited his father's saddlery business on London's Euston Road. Dunhill, responding to the growing demand for automobiles, developed a line of accessories called "Dunhill's Motorities". This first collection included car horns and lamps, leather overcoats, goggles, picnic sets and timepieces. Dunhill pitched the company under the slogan “Everything but the Motor”.
In 1967 Carreras acquired a 51% stake in the company. The company is currently owned by Richemont.
Currently, Jude Law appears in Dunhill ads in Asia.
