Lucy Jones was the founder of a prestigious, luxury lingerie brand back in the 1980s.
Her distinctive silk lingerie was stocked in retailers such as Harvey Nichols and Rigby & Peller.
After two decades working in education, Lucy decided to relaunch her lingerie brand, making the entire collection herself and at a small atelier in the UK.
