Mr Porter launched in February 2011 as the menswear counterpart to Net-à-Porter, with a clear brief: bring the same editorial intelligence and service standards to men that Net-à-Porter had pioneered for women. In an era when men's online luxury retail was largely ignored, Mr Porter arrived with full fashion editorial, a carefully curated brand roster, and an understanding that men who care about clothes care about them as deeply as any Vogue reader.
Mr Porter's curation is its competitive advantage. The buying team selects from over 500 brands, but the edit feels considered rather than comprehensive — weighted towards quality and longevity rather than trend-chasing. The brand roster includes Brunello Cucinelli, Loro Piana, Bottega Veneta, Tom Ford, Valentino, Thom Browne, Off-White, Loewe and many more. The site also produces The Journal — a editorial platform covering fashion, grooming, travel and culture that functions as a standalone men's lifestyle magazine.
Mr Porter offers same-day delivery in London and New York, next-day delivery across the UK, Europe and the US, and ships to over 170 countries. Orders arrive in signature navy packaging. The private shopping service offers styling advice and sourcing for specific pieces. The EIP (Extremely Important People) programme provides dedicated shopping and access to exclusive products for top clients.
Mr Porter's in-house label, Mr P., produces excellent wardrobe essentials — cashmere, tailoring, outerwear — at significantly lower prices than comparable designer pieces. These have become genuine destination products in their own right, earning strong critical acclaim from menswear editors. Mr Porter also produces exclusive capsule collections with its brand partners, which regularly sell out within hours of release.
The full Mr Porter roster spans the full spectrum of men's luxury: from Hermès and Brunello Cucinelli at the pinnacle to emerging independent designers. Watches, grooming, footwear and accessories complete the offering. The brand selection is updated seasonally, with new arrivals added daily. Pre-loved luxury menswear is also available through a partnership with Vestiaire Collective.
