Nicola Adams was inspired to launch Tallulah in Nov 2003, after just 8 months of becoming a mother for the first time, with her own lingerie shopping experiences of being judged because she wanted to still wear sexy and well-fitted beautiful lingerie after becoming a mother. “I am Nicola before anyone else, Mothers can be sexy too, it’s not that shocking!” She says after being repeatedly shocked herself in her very early motherhood days. “I was unable to find a safe and encouraging environment that helped to empower me with my lingerie entering this new chapter in my life, I personally needed somewhere that embraced everyday sexy, somewhere that didn’t carry the shame and stigma that was far to often associated with lingerie”. With these experiences coupled with her passion for others to wear well-fitted beautiful lingerie, Tallulah was born. Earlier in her retail career, Nicola always worked with wonderfully cut clothes and dressed beautiful women of all shapes and sizes in exquisite outfits. “I could never understand why women would spend so much time, effort and money on their outerwear when really, it was the lingerie where they needed help. "The foundation basics are so very important, always start with the correct shape (and size) lingerie” says Nicola “And it doesn't matter what you have on top!” Nicola has one simple rule when it comes to buying for the boudoir, “Only ever buy pieces that I love and of course would wear myself”.
Showcasing on Tallulah's online boutique, are 'The Best Sellers' from the boudoir, only a very limited number of pieces are available online from the famous Pearl Thong to our European exclusive collection of silks by Christine and excitingly Tallulah’s very own brand of silk slips that have been handmade in London (Islington to be exact, just around the corner form the boudoir). With over 29 years in the fashion world and 21 of those in lingerie Nicola pretty much has the perfect shape of most things sketched up. For years she has been using this knowledge to consult for other brands, helping design new shapes, colour forecasting and print choosing for their upcoming collections. Now was the time to put all this experience into something for Tallulah and you, “I hope you love them as much as I do” says Nicola on the new Tallulah slip collection.
