Hypebeast: Explain your brand to people who may not know you yet.
Manors Golf: We built Manors on the idea that golf isn’t just about mastering a swing and shooting the lowest scores. It’s the places it takes you, the people you meet, and the experiences you have with those people. It’s awesome that McIlroy can score ten birdies on a Sunday (hopefully), but for most of us, that’s not a reality, so there’s got to be more to it than a scorecard! We want to explore what that is. And if we make you feel like you want to chuck your clubs in the back of the boot and go on a bucket list golf trip with your friends, then we’ve done our job.
What’s the journey been like from starting your brand, to where you are today?
We founded Manors four years ago with the goal of trying to change the perception of the game we love. Golf is often still thought of as this unwelcoming and stuck-up sport from a bygone era, and when we founded the company, we weren’t quite sure there was even an audience that felt the same way as us. However, in the last few years, we’ve been overwhelmed to see our community grow and the successful release of six collections and two sell-out collaborations with adidas and The Open.
Flea is going to be hosted for the first time in the UK. How does the UK’s creative community inspire you and your brand?
The creative community and golf have had an interesting crossover – particularly in the last few years. There aren’t that many careers that allow you to take off and grab nine holes at 3 p.m. on a Wednesday – but during Covid, a lot of freelancers and creatives realized they had the flexibility to do just that. A lot of these people, us included, found there weren’t many golf brands that spoke to their sense of style, and we were very intentional about bridging that gap. Much of the Manors community that turns out for our golf days are musicians, actors, designers, and London’s creatives — we’ve got them in mind with everything we do.
What have you got planned at Hypebeast Flea?
We’d like to exclusively pre-sell our Fall/Winter collection at Flea. The collection isn’t available to buy online until the 14th of September.
