Our Story 

“Luxury Womenswear, designed & made in Yorkshire”

Olivia Darcy Limited is a ready-to-wear, British, luxury womenswear brand situated in the heart of Yorkshire. Founded in July 2020, the brand prioritises quality over quantity to create timeless, luxury garments designed to last a lifetime. Through Olivia Darcy’s use of unconventional patterns and sizing, empowering women to feel good in their bodies is largely incorporated into the brand’s values. The brand beautifully narrates a luxury lifestyle through visual imagery, bringing the educational benefits of a slower, more romanticised life.

Here’s an insight into Olivia Darcy and what we stand for…

We are proud of our production…

At Olivia Darcy we strive to support the movement to bring back British craftsmanship within the fashion industry. Based in the busy village of Lindley, Huddersfield, we’re proud to be one of very few independent fashion brands to be designed and made in Yorkshire. Olivia Darcy moves against fast fashion and the unethical, unsustainable mass production of clothing and all the devastating impacts it carries. As advocates of slow fashion, we aim for new ‘drops’ in styles and colours, keeping our collections per year to a minimum and our manufacture on a small scale. We stand by the conscious consumers, proud of our brand’s transparency and our ability to share our creative journey, from a garment’s early design stage to final production.

We empower different body types through versatile garments…

As a womenswear brand, Olivia Darcy devotes its attention in design to making the consumer feel her most empowered self when wearing our garments. She is confident, she is classy, she is desirable; she is you.

Our use of unconventional garment patterns allows us to cleverly construct designs for the most flattering fit on a range of body types. Here at Olivia Darcy we relate to the ever-changing female body and have created garments that allow for change as opposed to restricting it. Opting for non-traditional fastenings and sizing on our garments enhances the ultimate comfort in knowing that, while all bodies fluctuate through the years, your favourite Olivia Darcy garment will always be an iconic number, forever in season and forever in your life.

We are a luxury lifestyle brand…

Olivia Darcy offers an opening to a new lifestyle- a slower, calmer and more fulfilled luxury lifestyle. The lifestyle and values associated with Olivia Darcy are largely portrayed in the visuals, which, along with the garments themselves, create this aspirational luxe lifestyle- the consumers are buying into the Olivia Darcy lifestyle, not just the garment.

Consumers are not only investing in long-lasting, durable garments, but can also self-indulge guilt-free: all purchases have minimal negative impact on the environment and support the buyer’s local community. ‘Get rid of guilt: develop products that give consumers permission to self-gift and indulge by linking them to new values around self-care, wellness and eco-conscious mindsets.’

Olivia Darcy is about rewinding and slowing it down, to bring you quality and craftsmanship, through garments designed to be appreciated, unique and worn for a lifetime. We strive to offer an effortlessly chic, romanticised life through our products, glamorising slow fashion and all its benefits.
