Our Story
Dear Reader...
We believe that feeling beautiful starts with remarkable lingerie. Every element of our product creation from the fabrics; colour curation and design finesse; to our meticulous 6-stage fitting process, are critical in achieving our goal.
We don’t work seasonally and we never will, our aim is to slow down the chain of product creation and produce purpose-driven products of the highest quality. Craftsmanship is at the core of our brand and every product we create.
Through forming strong partnerships with generation-run family businesses, artisans within their fields, we have brought the highest level of expertise into the crafting of our pieces so that we can offer the most unique, visionary lingerie that looks as sumptuous as it feels.
Love, Coutille x
About Coutille
Coutille’s story began in 2020 when founder, then lingerie designer Hannah Farrugia Sharples, set out to create lingerie of exceptional craftsmanship and effortless wearability.
Our Philosophy at Coutille is to inspire confidence and femininity in all our wearers. We manufacture exclusively in Europe and Great Britain, using the highest quality materials with a focus on timeless silhouettes that flatter all shapes and sizes.
In August 2022 we launched our 24:7 Slip Dress to an unbelievable response. With a mission to combine unique design with everyday versatility, we discovered that the Slip Dress embodies the sensuality and femininity of lingerie for the contemporary woman.

The Founder
“Beautiful lingerie takes time. We need to respect this and appreciate its value. Working in a sustainable manner comes naturally when we work to the strengths of our suppliers and resist the unnecessary pressures of fast fashion - that culture is worlds away from what we are creating here.” Hannah, Designer & Founder
Coutille is founded by Hannah Farrugia Sharples, an established lingerie designer with specialist knowledge in creating product for the luxury market.
With almost a decade of experience in industry, she has trained with couturier Iris van Herpen, worked as a pattern maker for fashion giant H&M, designed luxury and couture collections for Italian luxury lingerie brand La Perla and led the design direction for the London-based lingerie brand, Coco de Mer. Her pieces have been worn by high profile clients from Rita Ora and Halle Berry to Hailey Bieber and Mary J. Blige.
As a female designer, she has always crafted designs of beauty and sensuality to inspire confidence and empowerment in the wearer. It is these qualities that she hopes to become synonymous with Coutille.
