What to know about Temperley London

Occasion dressing, not daily wardrobe

The core is eveningwear, occasionwear and bridal, with hand-worked embroidery, beading, lace and printed bohemian silhouettes rather than everyday basics.

New ownership, new creative team

After a 2021 administration, Dubai's Times Square Group took majority control in 2023; founder Alice Temperley left in 2026, with a new CEO and design director installed.

Sells mostly direct, few doors

Following a pivot to direct-to-consumer, it trades from its own stores in London, Somerset and Dubai plus a Liberty concession, alongside lingerie, sleepwear and a vintage resale line.
