The Company

Nigel Wright are delighted to be partnering with WOLF, the industry benchmark in designing and making by hand, luxurious leather jewellery boxes, travel cases and accessories for jewellery and watches.

German silversmith Philipp Wolf I created the company in 1834 when he discovered that his silver pieces sold more when presented in beautiful boxes. As he began selling more boxes than silver, he refocused his designs creating sophisticated jewellery cases which not only looked good but protect meaningful treasures. Today the family innovation continues with fifth generation Simon Wolf, leading the pack.

A fifth-generation British family business, with a 25 million USD annual global turnover, WOLF is a truly global enterprise, with offices in Hong Kong, UK, and LA, the US is its biggest market at present.

After spending significant time in the LA Head Office, Managing Director Simon Wolf has returned to the UK with a focus on driving the business across the UK and Europe and grow distribution through Europe and the Middle East.
