There are collaborations that make commercial sense, and then there are those that feel almost inevitable. Two kindred spirits arriving at the same conclusion from different directions. The partnership between St. Regis Hotels & Resorts and Drake’s belongs firmly in the latter category.
Announced on 4th June 2026, the limited-edition capsule collection of men’s accessories arrives just in time for Father’s Day, bringing together two institutions whose shared values of craftsmanship, ceremony, and quietly considered style have long made them natural companions.
The result is a tightly curated edit of four pieces: a silk necktie, a silk pocket square, a silk bandana, and a baseball cap. Each is designed to occupy that particular space where heritage and contemporary life intersect. This is a collection for the man who dresses because he understands why it matters, not for the man who dresses to impress.
Two Houses, One Philosophy
To appreciate what makes this collaboration so compelling, it helps to understand the distinct yet strikingly parallel histories of the two brands involved.
Drake’s was founded by Michael Drake in East London in 1977, just a short walk from Spitalfields, the district that had served as the heart of British silk weaving for centuries. Beginning as a maker of men’s scarves, shawls, and plaids, the company steadily expanded into handmade ties and handkerchiefs, earning a reputation for quality among the finest boutiques and department stores in Paris, Milan, Tokyo, and New York. Today, under the creative direction of Michael Hill, Drake’s produces soft tailoring in Italy, traditional knitwear in Scotland, and shirts in its own factory in Chard, Somerset. All of it is guided by the brand’s defining ethos of relaxed elegance. It is a house that dresses artists, actors, chefs, writers, and photographers: people who value personal style over prescribed fashion, and longevity over novelty. Much like the artisans explored in the world of handmade craftsmanship versus mass production, Drake’s commitment to making things by hand is what sets it apart.
St. Regis, meanwhile, traces its origins to a different kind of ambition. Founded by the Astor family at the turn of the twentieth century, the brand was conceived as a setting for elegant society, a place where life’s most meaningful moments could be observed, marked, and celebrated with appropriate grandeur. That founding spirit endures today through St. Regis’ identity as the House of Celebration, expressed through rituals such as Champagne Sabrage and the Midnight Supper, each one an exercise in marking occasions with grace and intention.
Both brands, in their own way, are in the business of making moments matter. That shared conviction forms the philosophical foundation of this collaboration.
“Since its founding by the Astor Family, St. Regis has been a place where life’s most meaningful milestones are celebrated with grace, ritual, and a touch of glamour; a legacy rooted in bringing people together to honour family and the occasions worth dressing up for,” said George Fleck, Senior Vice President and Global Brand Leader for St. Regis Hotels & Resorts. “Father’s Day feels like a particularly fitting expression of that spirit. Our partnership with Drake’s brings together a shared appreciation for timeless craftsmanship, enduring yet modern style, and the thoughtful art of celebrating the moments that matter most.”
The Capsule: On Duty, Off Duty
The collection is deliberately restrained. Four pieces, each considered, each capable of earning its place in a well-curated wardrobe. Together, they reflect what the two brands describe as the duality of modern fatherhood: refined yet relaxed, ceremonial yet lived-in, rooted in tradition yet entirely at ease in the present.
The Deep Green Silk Necktie (£175) anchors the collection with the quiet authority one might expect from a Drake’s archive pattern. The depth of colour lends it an almost seasonal versatility, equally at home against a crisp white shirt in a boardroom or worn with something more relaxed at the weekend. There is nothing showy about it. Its appeal is entirely in its character.
The Silk Pocket Square (£95) carries the most overtly collaborative detail in the collection: finished with both brand marks and a champagne bottle motif, it offers a subtle yet knowing nod to St. Regis’ iconic Champagne Sabrage ritual. It is the kind of detail that rewards those who notice it, without demanding their attention.
The Silk Bandana (£145) is perhaps the most versatile piece in the edit. A silk-blend design that draws on an archival Drake’s motif while incorporating the St. Regis crest into the pattern. Whether worn at the neck, tucked into a jacket pocket, or used as a textile accent, it carries the ease and adaptability that has long defined Drake’s approach to men’s accessories.
Rounding out the collection is the Baseball Cap (£75), a vintage-inspired design that reframes classic sportswear through a lens of understated luxury. Finished with a stitched “#1” flag, it functions as a quiet, affectionate tribute to fatherhood. Familiar in silhouette, elevated in execution.
“Heritage is what makes both Drake’s and St. Regis so special, something we wanted to draw on for this collection,” said Michael Hill, Creative Director of Drake’s. “Whether that’s St. Regis’s sabrage ritual or our extensive archive of prints dating back to the 1970s, this collaboration brings together two worlds rooted in craftsmanship and character.”
Designed For The Modern Father
The framing of this collection around Father’s Day is more than a convenient retail moment. It speaks to something genuine about the man these pieces are designed for. He is someone who has, in all likelihood, moved through different versions of himself: the professional who wears a tie because it means something, not because he has to; the father who understands that being present is its own kind of ritual; the person who appreciates quality as a form of respect, for the maker, for the object, and for the occasion.
Each piece in the collection moves between these registers without effort. The necktie and pocket square speak to on-duty polish; the bandana and baseball cap offer something more relaxed, more personal. Together, they map out a wardrobe philosophy that both St. Regis and Drake’s have long championed independently: dress with intention, wherever you are. For those seeking further inspiration for the discerning man in their life, the Salon Privé luxury gift guide offers an equally considered selection of elevated choices.
Experiences Across The Globe
The collection launch extends well beyond retail. St. Regis has partnered with Drake’s to create a series of curated on-property experiences designed to bring the collaboration to life.
Participating hotels, including The St. Regis San Francisco, The St. Regis Toronto, and The St. Regis Chicago, will host limited-time retail pop-ups alongside exclusive trunk shows and made-to-order tailoring experiences set within top-tier hotel suites for guests. It is the kind of access that transforms a shopping trip into something far more memorable: a private fitting in a beautifully appointed suite, with the full weight of Drake’s expertise on hand.
Bespoke bar menus inspired by the collection and St. Regis’ celebrated cocktail rituals will further animate the experience, while curated suite packages will include the full accessories collection, a personalised welcome amenity, and a credit toward spa or other on-property experiences. For those unable to attend in person, the collection is available from 4th June 2026 at select St. Regis hotels across North America, at Drake’s flagship locations in London and New York, and online at drakes.com and stregisboutiques.com.
A London Opening On The Horizon
The timing of this collaboration is not incidental. St. Regis is preparing to open its newest address in London later this autumn, a development that lends additional resonance to a partnership already so thoroughly rooted in British heritage. Drake’s began in East London’s Spitalfields; St. Regis traces its identity to a family whose vision of civilised luxury has proved durably influential. The arrival of a London St. Regis feels like a homecoming of sorts, and this capsule collection, steeped in British craft and cultural exchange, serves as a fitting prologue. It is a moment that sits alongside other landmark luxury announcements of 2026, such as the highly anticipated Christie’s Paris Hermès handbag auction, in reflecting a broader renewed appetite for heritage and craftsmanship at the highest level.

A Considered Collaboration For A Considered Man
Where brand partnerships are often assembled for maximum visibility with minimal substance, the St. Regis and Drake’s collaboration is rooted in genuine affinity: shared values around craftsmanship, ritual, and the belief that the way one presents oneself is a meaningful act rather than a superficial one. The limited-edition capsule does not shout. It does not need to. Like the best pieces in any wardrobe, it simply holds up.
For the father who dresses with care, who marks occasions because he understands their weight, and who appreciates the quiet confidence that comes from wearing something made with intention, this collection offers exactly what both St. Regis and Drake’s have always delivered: not just an object, but a standard.
The St. Regis x Drake’s Father’s Day capsule collection launched 4th June 2026. Pieces are available at select St. Regis hotels across North America, Drake’s flagship stores in London and New York, and online at drakes.com and stregisboutiques.com. Prices range from £75 to £175.
