Our 
Story

Founded in 1997 by Andrew and Sarah Charlesworth, Intimates Lingerie LLP is a family-owned agency and distribution company specialising in premium international brands across Lingerie, Swimwear, Resort Wear, and Sleepwear. With nearly three decades of industry expertise, our mission has remained consistent: to bring exceptional quality and refined style to the UK and Ireland markets.

At the heart of the business is Sarah Charlesworth, whose passion, vision, and leadership have been instrumental in shaping Intimates Lingerie into a respected name in the industry. Her deep knowledge of the sector and dedication to brand integrity continue to guide the company’s strategic direction and values.

We proudly work with mid to premium retailers, offering tailored wholesale distribution and concession services across both physical stores and digital platforms. Our collaborative approach ensures long-term, mutually beneficial relationships with our retail and brand partners.

In addition to our agency and distribution work, we operate successful retail ventures for HANRO, Luxe Leopard, and Panos Emporio, including a flagship store in South Molton Street, Harrods & multiple concessions across the UK and Ireland, and dedicated online stores.

Looking to the future, the business is evolving with the next generation. Sophie Charlesworth and Ben Charlesworth are actively involved, bringing fresh energy, innovation, and a continued commitment to the company’s values. Together, we are building a future-focused, family-led business prepared to adapt and grow in an ever-changing retail landscape.

We welcome the opportunity to connect and collaborate. Please find our contact details below.
