The Kitchen Bathroom Buying Group (KBBG), part of DER KREIS, has enhanced its supplier base with the addition of luxury brassware manufacturer, St James England.
KBBG members now have access to St James’ unique collection of design-led brassware including taps, mixers and showers, as well as sinks and accessories. The St James brand has a strong British heritage, and its products are designed to make a statement.
St James provides bathroom and kitchen retailers with a comprehensive range of design solutions through its three distinct, yet complementary, portfolios. St James Traditional is inspired by Victorian elegance and hand-finished with bespoke details. St James Distinction still embodies that iconic British style, combined with a contemporary twist. The collection blends exquisite craftsmanship with creative design and is influenced by some of the greatest eras of design history. Finally, St James Living is the perfect balance of function and style, offering a fresh take on luxury bathrooom and kitchen brassware and kitchen sinks. Designed to enhance everyday experiences, St James Living combines modern aesthetics with practical elegance.
Owain Harrison, Managing Director, KBBG, comments: “We’re delighted to welcome St James England to the KBBG. Not only does St James provide stylish and superior brassware, but experienced artisans hand-assemble St James’ products in Birmingham, providing a personal touch and allowing customers to choose their own bespoke detailing1. With this added benefit, we know that St James will prove incredibly popular with our members.
“St James will be showcasing its offering at our 2025 Annual Members’ Meeting on Monday 30th June. They will be part of our exhibition hub where the group’s suppliers will showcase their latest products and opportunities. We are confident that this will be a fantastic occasion for our members to discover the quality and craftsmanship of St James.”
Mark Davidge, GB Sales Director, St James England, says: “We understand the need for retail showrooms to offer their customers the very finest, taps, showers, sinks and accessories, in both traditional and contemporary styles. At St James, we have been supplying luxury brassware since 1968, and our three complementary portfolios have been developed to provide the perfect solution for every design and budget.
“We are committed to bricks and mortar showrooms, and we are excited to be working closely with the KBBG membership. Our ethos is underpinned by a customer-led approach and exceptional service, while the three portfolios provide our retail partners with unique products that have been crafted by our experienced team and finished with care. We have market leading POS materials, which have been designed to elevate any showroom, and we look forward to collaborating with KBBG members to enhance their projects with our luxury brassware.”
