Lulu Guinness

Relatively a baby, but holding its own amongst British fashion, Lulu Guinness was set up by the young designer as an accessories company in 1989 and since then has become a regular name on the lips of fashionistas worldwide.

Witty handbags and quirky accessories are what the London based designer has carved her name out of, gaining a reputation for creating tomorrow s treasures.
The fashion media went gaga for this revolutionary brand, resulting in the demand for the designer to open up shops in London, New York and Tokyo.

Lulu Guinness’s unique creations are also sold in concessions within major department stores worldwide including Harrods, Selfridges, and Fortnum and Mason in the U, Brown Thomas in Ireland and Lane Crawford in Hong Kong. Not satisfied with creating edgy pieces that demand to be admired, Guinness insists on designing the interior of all of her stores to ensure that they emulate her brand’s individual look.

Having never had any formal design training apart from a year’s foundation at Art College and a long standing passion for design and fashion, Lulu Guinness is the proud owner of the reputation for designing future classic’s that have already earned a place in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London as well as the subject of exhibitions in Sotheby’s London and New York. An accolade that most designers can only dream of.

Spotted on an ever-expanding list of celebrities and famous creatives, Lulu Guinness’s range of accessories span across handbags, purses, umbrellas, cosmetic bags and of course, the ultimate celebrity must-have, sunglasses. Amongst her fans are Sienna Miller, Agyness Deyn, Alexa Chung, Helena Bonham Carter, Katy Perry, Sophie Dahl, Rachel Weisz and Keira Knightley, to name but few. With a strong personal style and original ideas
Influencing her designs, Guinness merges her own retro glamour with modern day, directional chic and her eyewear collection is the perfect reputation for the designer’s unmistakable style. Cute polka dots embossed on fashion forward cat eyed frames, lush quilting and laid back gradient lenses and warm palettes of ambers and brown work together to create a sophisticated women’s eyewear collection.
