Have you ever visited your grandparents’ home and marvelled at the treasures they’ve collected over the years? Trinkets tucked away in rusty old drawers, dishes and kettles adorned with delicate floral patterns, patiently resting in display cabinets that seem as old as time itself. Their cutlery, perhaps older than you, still makes every meal taste fresh, yet you wonder why they don’t just get a new set. In our fast-paced, ever-changing world, we often feel the urge to replace the old with the new. But have we ever stopped to ask ourselves: why? Why do we feel compelled to discard things that have stood the test of time, proving their durability and beauty?
There’s something innately special about objects that are timeless. They carry stories, preserve legacies, and offer a sense of continuity. This is exactly what Thomas Goode, a brand established in 1827, represents—a legacy of craftsmanship and elegance that transcends generations. Known for its luxurious tableware and home décor, Thomas Goode is now making its mark on the Indian luxury market, bringing with it nearly two centuries of history and refinement.
What sets Thomas Goode apart is not just its exquisite products, but the brand’s association with British royalty. Did you know that Thomas Goode held two royal warrants to supply the British royal household—one from Queen Elizabeth II and another from the Prince of Wales? Few brands can claim such a prestigious honour. This deep connection to royalty is why Thomas Goode is cherished by discerning homes and connoisseurs of luxury tableware worldwide. Whether you’re after a vibrant dinnerware set from Dolce & Gabbana or exquisite bowls from Hermès, Thomas Goode offers a selection of tableware that is truly unrivalled.
As Thomas Goode enters the Indian market, it brings its British heritage but with a twist, blending seamlessly with Indian culture. In an interview, Mr. Shashank Bhagat, CEO of Thomas Goode India, stated, "Each one of us has a royal within, and with Thomas Goode, we are blending two distinctive cultures." The brand is thoughtfully adapting its offerings to resonate with Indian tastes, creating a fusion of British elegance and Indian craftsmanship.
Although Thomas Goode is now under Indian ownership, it remains quintessentially British at its core. Mr. Bhagat reassures that the brand’s essence will remain intact, even as it expands into new territories. "It will always be an English brand, but now with Indian ownership," he emphasizes. The royal legacy, craftsmanship, and timeless appeal of Thomas Goode will continue to thrive as it embarks on this new chapter.
Recently, the brand launched its latest collection in collaboration with Dolce & Gabbana, just in time for the festive season. This collection further strengthens Thomas Goode's position in the global luxury market. The brand has also partnered with renowned Indian designer Sabyasachi, with more exciting collaborations on the horizon. For luxury enthusiasts, there is much to look forward to in the world of Thomas Goode.
Thomas Goode’s arrival in India is not just about selling luxury products—it’s about offering a piece of history, a timeless legacy that customers can pass down to future generations. Just as those old dishes and kettles in your grandparents’ home tell stories of the past, Thomas Goode’s tableware will become part of your family’s narrative too. After all, in a world that’s constantly evolving, there’s a certain beauty in holding onto things that stand the test of time.
