Rag & Bone

Rag & Bone was founded in New York in 2002 by Marcus Wainwright and Nathan Bogle. The label began with denim, combining an interest in British tailoring with American workwear. That meeting of backgrounds gave it a place between the discipline of a well-cut garment and the informality of downtown dressing.

Jeans remain central, but the wardrobe extends into tailoring and knitwear, with leather jackets and boots supplying another part of its identity. The appeal comes from clothes that feel usable, even when the fabric or construction introduces something unexpected. A jacket can have the shape of a tailored piece and the ease of a daily layer.

David Neville, who joined the business in 2005, became Wainwright’s long-standing creative and business partner before stepping back in 2016. Wainwright remained with the label until 2023. Their work helped establish a contemporary American wardrobe shaped by the streets and creative communities of New York.

Robert Geller joined the menswear team in 2023, bringing a renewed focus on proportion and fabric. Swaim Hutson succeeded him as head of menswear design, presenting his debut collection for fall 2026. Across those changes, Rag & Bone’s strongest continuity is the conversation between denim and tailoring, making an outfit look assembled for life beyond the showroom.
