The History of Oxford Hounds
Oxford Hounds founder, James Tulin had the good fortune of spending over 50 years in the men’s luxury fashion space working with and designing products for major retail brands like Ralph Lauren, Guess, Tommy Hilfiger, Kenneth Cole and others. With countless years of travel to all the major European fashion capitals, his belief only strengthened that luxury is not about buying expensive things, but rather living in a way where you appreciate them.
Focused on a single ambition to design and create the exceptional, Oxford Hounds was born. Encompassing a wide variety of different product classifications, we aim to create exceptional products with superior quality and an unrivalled attention to detail. Our products are hand made in Italy by artisans using only the finest Italian materials and worn by those that demand the very best!
