Passavant and Lee is a luxury accessories brand founded by close friends, Jon Passavant and Benj Lee. The pair met in New York whilst pursuing successful careers as models and brand spokesmen, where they gained valuable experience behind the scenes of many of the world’s top brands. This unique industry experience combined with their friendship, proved to be the catalyst of what would eventually become their own company. Having spent three years developing their inaugural product, Passavant and Lee was awarded an international design patent; subsequently launching the brand in late 2013. Made in London, the No. 25 Collection merges innovative design with heritage craftsmanship, reflecting the British and American roots of its creators. 

 

Benj Lee was raised in central London and has had a lifelong passion for design and craftsmanship. In 2001 he began modeling and has appeared for Alfred Dunhill, Orlebar Brown, DKNY and many others, emerging as one of the most sought after faces in the industry. Jon Passavant was raised in the US and following his education in business, embarked on a celebrated modeling career. Appearing for many global brands including Giorgio Armani, Esteé Lauder and Christian Dior, this combination of experience became the platform for his future work as a designer and entrepreneur.

 

Passavant and Lee’s full collection, now showing for the first time at London Collections: Men, explores the combination of beautiful raw materials and precision engineering, creating definitive statement accessories for the modern gentleman.
