The British are coming…with killer lingerie. While the word ‘lingerie’ may conjure images a Parisian atelier, the most decadent undergarments are currently making their way out of the United Kingdom. Here are our four favorite British luxury lingerie companies who know their knickers.
Olivia Von Halle: Launched in 2011, the British luxury nightwear brand quickly became a bedtime staple of Victoria Beckham and Kate Moss. Olivia Von Halle is known for updating classic loungewear with a twist in fun, fresh prints, all with an impeccable cut. We love their decadent smoking robes made of thick silks and their dreamy white and blue bridal line. Olivia Von Halle can be found in over 100 stores including Harrods and Net-A-Porter.com.

Bordelle: Launched in 2009 by Alex Popa in West London, this line is voted most likely to win over Christian Grey. Bordelle specializes in body-con silhouettes that feature a proprietary technique which uses customized satin elastic bands to create their signature styles. Named after the French word for a house of ill repute, the company is known for their Angela dress. Bordelle recently added swimwear, bridal and a made to measure bespoke service, and can be found at Journelle.

Fleur Of England: Fleur Turner launched Fleur T at age 25 with a small bank loan in 2000 and it has since grown into Fleur of England. The line is entirely manufactured in the UK and Europe, using only the most beautiful silks and laces. With soft and romantic silhouettes, it’s clear to see why Rihanna, Liv Tyler and Helena Christensen are fans. The line is carried in Barneys and independent retailers across the globe.
