Lady Duff Gordon

Lucile: A Company History

Inspired by the work of Lady Duff Gordon (1863-1935) and the original revolutionary Lucile brand, Lucile lingerie is the brainchild of Camilla Blois, the great-great granddaughter of Lady Duff Gordon.

‘I love lingerie; it's my favourite part of my wardrobe and is so important to how women feel about themselves. My grandmother had beautiful couture houses in Paris, London and New York and was the first house to make lingerie for women, freeing them from constrictive corsets and Edwardian dress.’

Feeling frustrated at the lack of choice in desirable and functional lingerie available, Camilla decided to open her own store, ‘where women can come in and feel inspired by the beautiful products on offer and be comfortable buying for themselves in a private and luxurious environment. I thought of everything I wanted from a lingerie store and incorporated them all into Lucile.’
