F rom its origins as a Notting Hill
concept store in 2002, Heidi Klein has become synonymous with stylish, sought-after holidaywear, crafted with exceptional attention to detail. You’ll find Heidi Klein worn on the world’s most beautiful beaches by fashion insiders and style icons, all of whom love the brand’s effortless chic and luxe provenance. Founders Heidi Gosman and Penny Klein established the original Heidi Klein holiday boutique with the aim of delivering unmistakably luxurious resor twear. Sourcing swimwear and accessories that lived up to their vision proved a challenge – driving them to create their own. Drawing inspiration from the world’s most beautiful destinations, Heidi Klein produces three collections each year, using luxury Italian fabrics, bespoke colours and hand-painted prints.
The brand has earned a devoted following, supporting global growth. In addition to its two London flagships, award-winning website and standalone in-resort stores, Heidi Klein is carried in leading independent boutiques and top department stores around the world. Heidi Klein is Britain’s most iconic holidaywear; immediately recognisable, it inspires a mood of carefree indulgence, a Heidi Klein piece is an investment that repays the wearer in uplifting body confidence. Whatever your destination, your journey starts with Heidi Klein.
