Office first opened back in 1981 as 'Office London' with a concession in the shopping mecca Hyper Hyper, but its roots go back to the 60's selling hand-crafted belts, luggage and footwear. The unit in Hyper Hyper proved to be extremely successful, prompting further expansion into the West End. The first stand-alone Office store opened on Kings Road in 1984, followed by sites in Charing Cross Road and High Street Kensington.
