​At the Keturah Brown boutique, owner and designer Goug Wilcox can usually be seen at her sewing or cutting table creating her signature camisoles, slips and made-to-measure lingerie.
 
Goug studied Fashion Design at the Bristol College of Art. She honed her design skills in Rome as an apprentice for the iconic, La Mendola. Situated at the top of the Spanish Steps and next to the Valentino boutique, Goug was working in the right place at the right time. Goug was exposed to stunning print silks, designing on the bias and modelling on the bust form.
 
Returning to England, Goug continued to design evening wear, working for such prestigious Houses as Belle Ville Sassoon of Knightsbridge and Bernard Freres in Hanover Square, before reaching her true calling: she noticed a gap in the market for lingerie made of natural fibres.
 
In 1974, Goug designed a simple bra and brief in silk and lace, followed by french knickers, camisole and half slip – Keturah Brown was born. Goug sold this first collection to Harrods, and Keturah Brown has grown from strength to strength ever since.

​The Keturah Brown Range 
A luxury lingerie and loungewear brand established in London, forty-three years ago. The the brand melds traditional silhouettes with an understated, sleek style for the modern woman.

The designer draws inspiration from the refined elegance of the 1930s, reflected in her signature peach silk and bias cut.
 
Keturah Brown designs utilise the finest woven silks and luxurious lace from Calais, or English embroidered bobbinet.

​Most garments are cut on the bias, giving a fluid line which clings to the body. Keturah Brown also creates made-to-measure lingerie to flatter the figure.
