In the 1920s, Dunhill began to expand his business internationally, and he opened shops in New York, Paris, and other major cities. Over more... the years, Dunhill continued to diversify its offerings, adding luxury men's clothing, accessories, and fragrances to its repertoire. The brand became synonymous with sophisticated British style, catering to an affluent and discerning clientele. The company continued to grow in the following decades, and it became one of the leading luxury goods brands in the world.

In the latter part of the 20th century, Dunhill went through various ownership changes. In 1963, the company was acquired by the Swiss-based Richemont Group, a luxury goods conglomerate. Under Richemont's ownership, Dunhill expanded its international presence, opening flagship stores in major cities worldwide. less...
