About

Harlette Luxury Lingerie™ was founded in London by Naomi McGill B.IT, MBA (Finance).

Harlette De Falaise

The name Harlette was inspired by Harlette De Falaise, the lover of the Duke of Normandy and mother to the infamous William the Conqueror. There is much speculation as to whether Harlette was married and it is said although he never married her, he stayed faithful to her to the very end. The romance, the royalty and French history is the foundation for the Harlette company and lingerie label Harlette De Falaise. Harlette Homme was launched on the 31st of December 2009.

Naughty Romantics

The creative director of Harlette and innovation patent designer, Naomi McGill says Harlette walks on the side of the road where tradition, style, affordability and fabrics do not come into the equation. Harlette concentrates on “How do you feel?” and “How is the piece transforming the client when she wears it?” In essence, letting you unleash the naughty romantic within.

The concept for Harlette came about when Naomi realised there was a huge gap in the lingerie market, for lovers of lingerie who were looking for pieces that were unique, romantic and a work of art. Made from lavish fabrics and trimmings, with inspiration from Hollywood, Royalty, the Tudor and Baroque periods and anything French of course, Harlette’s extravagant designs are perfect for the discerning lingerie-lover.

With the current popularity in vintage styling, Harlette’s 2010 Collection includes fabrics and adornments in embellished crystal-beaded French lace, silks, Italian jewel-encrusted tulle, velvets and of course Marabou, Ostrich and Peacock feathers. Naomi says there is a return to opulence and decadence so Harlette’s new designs will be adding more layers and tiers of feathers and French lace, like the layers of a wedding cake.

Bespoke, Unique Luxury

The label is not about bling, it’s about exclusivity and using exquisite materials to create luxurious, bespoke garments that become heirlooms.  Working one-to-one with clients to make their dreams come true, every piece is handmade so it becomes the client’s own signature piece. Harlette’s clients are from all over the world, including Saudi Arabia, UK, USA and Malaysia.
