Luxury lingerie brands worth the money in 2024

One with a deep-seated love of lingerie could argue that owning sexy, feel-good intimates falls among Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. Self-actualization and esteem top the human motivation pyramid and, from woman to woman, doesn’t basking in the self-love that high-end lingerie provides check both boxes?

We’re not telling you to take out a second mortgage to fund your bralette collection, but there’s something to be said about splurging on self-love. The question isn’t about who’s going to see it or whether or not it’s practical: the thing with lingerie is, it’s all about emotion. Confidence, control, sensuality, and sex appeal are reflections of your inner state. So if you want to treat yourself, just for the hell of it, these five high-end lingerie brands make the case that a little bit of lace can go a very long way.

You can’t talk about high-end lingerie without mentioning La Perla! This Italian lingerie brand is one of the leading labels in the industry and boasts 70 years of heritage. Each piece is still made by hand in Bologna, Italy, with traditional, artisanal skills and signature techniques unique to the brand. Beloved by Kourtney Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, and Priyanka Chopra, La Perla swimwear was even worn by Daniel Craig and Caterina Murino in the James Bond film Casino Royale.

Jennifer Zuccarini’s “naughty flower” lingerie brand uses luxury fabrics like French Leavers lace and bespoke, handmade embroideries to achieve a look that is playful and whimsical, but also provocative and confidence-boosting. Rihanna, Gigi, and Bella Hadid are all fans of the NYC-based brand.

With a collection spanning from intimates to swimwear and pyjamas, Love Stories is all about comfort and versatility. Sizes range from A to F cups and an underbust of 70 to 85, and most pieces are made with recycled yarns.

Run by the founder’s grandchildren Stéphanie Pérèle and Mathieu Grodner, the Parisian label is known for its sultry French style, perfect fit and incomparable comfort. Each piece is designed in France and made with the best European fabrics and laces.
