Who we are
The brainchild of Emily Bendell, Bluebella was founded with a simple yet profound vision at its core: to deliver luxurious lingerie, underwear, and nightwear to spirited, fashion-forward women. Our brand champions innovation, inclusivity, and exceptional style above all else, redefining sensuality with every new collection.
The Founder
“To me, lingerie is self-expression of individual style and spirit. The Bluebella woman does not see lingerie as a functional or traditionally sexy purchase to be ‘dressed up in’ for someone else. If the thing we wear closest to our skin is for someone else and not ourselves, what does that tell us about our bodies? I wanted to create a brand and product that was empowered, confident, sassy, contemporary and fashion-focused. We design to make women feel their most fabulous selves!”

INSPIRATION
Our award-winning team takes inspiration from modern lifestyles, fashion trends and the world around us. Each collection we launch has a clear purpose and vision behind it, pushing the boundaries of design with unique fabrics, unusual trims and unforgettable new silhouettes. We are proud to be stocked by some of the UK's and world’s most famous retailers, including Selfridges, Victoria’s Secret, Bloomingdales, ASOS and Zalando.
We are endlessly inspired by the allure of the hidden, the mystery of what lies underneath, and the illusion of nudity just waiting to be found. Our mission is to not only create beautiful designs but also to make them affordable and inclusive. We believe everyone should be able to wear Bluebella and feel empowered as they do so.
Pride 2022
Feel unapologetically proud wearing our limited-edition sets designed in honour of Pride 2022. We’ve joined forces with the fierce Glamazons of RuPaul’s Drag Race, Brooke Lynn Hytes and Vanessa Vanjie Mateo, to create an unforgettable, rainbow-themed campaign. 10% of the profits from the sales of the collection will go to OutRight Action International, supporting their vital work for LGBTIQ+ people.
IWD 22
Women are and have always been at the heart of Bluebella. Even though we believe womanhood should be celebrated every single day, International Women’s Day is an opportunity to make our commitment to fighting gender inequality clearer than ever. We’ve donated £5 from every purchase made on the 8th of March to Equality Now in support of the vital work they do for women and girls.
BLUEBELLA EVERYDAY
When it comes to choosing your everyday underwear, comfort often takes precedence over style. Here at Bluebella, we decided you could have both. Cue in the new Everyday collection, full of comfortable and fashion-forward sets designed with the signature Bluebella edge.
#Selflove
Last Valentine’s Day, #selflove was in the air. To help us bring this campaign to life, we turned to the award-winning spoken word poet and author of ‘Brown Girl Like Me’ Jaspreet Kaur, who captured it for us in the form of a poem. Our heart-shaped sticker has taken social media by storm, and we couldn’t be happier that so many of you chose to embrace self-love with us.
Hosiery and Nubian Skin collab
This autumn, we launched a collection of Italian hold-ups, stockings, and tights. Nubian Skin helped us ensure that our hosiery is not only beautiful but also skin-tone inclusive.
CLARA MCGREGOR
Actor, producer and daughter of Ewan McGregor, Clara McGregor was the shining star of our Autumn Winter 2021 campaign.
#AF
Launching our improved size range was a huge step forward for our brand. Most of our designs are now available in 30A-40F and 6-20 ranges, ensuring that the unique Bluebella experience is accessible to even more people.
Pride 2021
To launch our limited-edition collection for Pride 2021, we’ve teamed up with the stunning stars of season 2 of RuPaul’s Drag Race, A’Whora and Tayce, who both served us pure lingerie eleganza extravaganza. 10% of the profits from sales was donated to support the vital work of the Kaleidoscope Trust.
