Lulu Guinness

Lulu Guinness revolutionized British accessories by bringing surrealist wit and artistic expression to handbag design when founder Lulu Guinness created her first "briefcase for women" in 1989. The brand's early signature piece—the flower basket bag—established its reputation for conversation-starting accessories that function as wearable art.

The designer's personal mantra of "Dare to Be Different" infuses collections with distinctively British humor and cultural references, from the iconic lip clutch to whimsical designs featuring eyes, faces, and unexpected motifs. This artistic approach elevated handbags from mere functional items to personality-expressing accessories.

While expanding its product range and global presence, the brand has maintained its commitment to distinctive design and quality craftsmanship. Lulu Guinness pieces have achieved both commercial success and artistic recognition, with designs exhibited in museums including the Victoria and Albert Museum and becoming collectible fashion artifacts that transcend seasonal trends.
