Dunhill, British-based company, specializing in men's
luxury 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 For The Car
But The Motor”. In 1967 Carreras acquired a 51%
stake in the company. The company is currently owned by
Richemont. Currently, Jude Law is the apparel
ambassador for Dunhill adverts in Asia. He is to be the
international face of the brand and appear in the worldwide
Spring/Summer 2008 advertising campaign, apart from
commercials in North America. He has represented the company
in Asia since 2005. All fragrances sold under the
Dunhill brand name are manufactured and marketed through a
licensing agreement by Procter and Gamble Prestige Products
division. P&G gained the license as part of their 1995
acquisition of the Wella Corporation.
