Whipplesnaith
“We think of those nights spent with one or more friends, nights when we merged with the shadows and could see the world with eyes that were not our own” - Whipplesnaith
Inspired by 1930s secret society the elusive Night Climbers of Cambridge, KENT&CURWEN looks to the style of Whipplesnaith - the ‘Butterfly Collector’, author and ringleader of this cult nocturnal sport, and the pen name adopted by Noel H. Symington - and celebrates seeing things from another perspective.
The courageous Night Climbers set their own rules; changemakers, rebels, defiant in the face of a revered establishment which they adopted as their hallowed playground in the shadows. With it emerged a sense of belonging to something, a playful attitude that riffs on the set codes - an approach embodied by KENT&CURWEN since the brand’s inception in 1926 and still today as it marks its centenary.
Together with the Night Climbers of past and whisper it present, KENT&CURWEN invites you to seek inspiration, not restriction, in the shadows, to a richness and imagination beyond society’s confines. To endeavor to find beauty in the unexpected and of joy in belonging. For those in pursuit of adventure and of themselves.
‘Multum in parvo’ - ‘Much in little’

The KENT&CURWEN Spring-Summer 2026 Campaign.
There is an unparalleled beauty to be found in the gentle blossoming of an English summer. For first signs of spring look to nature and community; inside the Royal Parks where a different world is emerging with welcome pockets of escapism and collective calm hidden within the bustling metropolis of London.
Laser cut petals, preppy stripes, collars crisp and inverted like proud swans, lido swimmers in bright red rose motifs.
Artist David Hockney said the blossoming of summer was like ‘champagne cascading over the landscape,’ as unrelenting greys wash to lighter hazy moments and palettes fade to blues and bring a new sense of marvel as the city awakes and breathes as buds turn to blossom…
