LK Bennett is a British accessible luxury fashion brand renowned for its signature blend of classic elegance, vibrant prints, and expert craftsmanship. The brand is celebrated for its enduring style and commitment to sustainable, slow fashion principles. Founded in 1990 by Linda Bennett in Wimbledon, London, LK Bennett began with a vision to offer “something in-between the designer footwear you find in Bond Street and those on the high street,” focusing initially on sophisticated, comfortable shoes—most notably the iconic kitten heel, which earned Linda Bennett the nickname “Queen of the Kitten Heel”. The brand quickly expanded its offering, launching its first ready-to-wear clothing collection in 1998 and opening its first international boutique in Paris in 2000.
Throughout the 2000s, LK Bennett grew its global presence, establishing stores and concessions in Europe, the Middle East, and the United States. In 2008, Linda Bennett sold a 70% stake in the business but remained involved as a non-executive director. She returned to lead the brand in 2017, focusing on revitalizing its product and brand development.
Despite its success, the company faced financial challenges and entered administration in 2019. It was subsequently acquired by Byland UK, ensuring the continuation of the brand and saving hundreds of jobs, though some stores closed as part of the restructuring. Today, LK Bennett continues to design all collections in-house in London, maintaining its reputation for quality, timeless style, and a uniquely British ethos. LK Bennett’s design philosophy centers on effortless luxury, confident femininity, and timeless appeal. Key tenets include:
• Creating wearable, investment pieces that transcend fleeting trends.
• Harnessing vibrant prints, elegant shapes, and signature detailing to curate collections that are both distinctive and versatile.
• Emphasizing expert craftsmanship and high-quality materials for enduring style.
• Championing slow fashion by promoting responsible production, sustainable materials (through the LKB Conscious collection), and circular initiatives such as rental and resale programs.
• Empowering women to feel polished, confident, and inspired in every aspect of their lives.
