In a nod to its fashionable past, a special mention must be made of the building’s rich history. Formerly known as the Royal Wardrobe in the 14th century, it once housed the regal attire of the king and the royal family.
Today, Native King’s Wardrobe pays homage to this legacy, with meticulously restored buildings that celebrate fashion with each townhouse named after pioneering British fashion designers and international designers who transformed British attire and style from the 17th century onwards.
The legacy of style is woven throughout, from Anna Maria Garthwaite, an English textile designer in the mid-18th century known for creating vivid floral designs hand-woven in Spitalfields, London, to the famed Rose Bertin, the dressmaker to Marie Antoinette, Queen of France, who opened a shop in London in the 1790’s sharing her Parisian designs with the capital’s fashion crowd.
Native King’s Wardrobe offers a quintessentially British experience with modern luxury. The spacious, bright apartments provide a homely atmosphere, making them suitable for both short visits and extended stays.
