Luisa Beccaria encompasses a bespoke lifestyle that extends to fashion, homeware, accessories, interior design, and even special Italian delicacies produced in a time-honored way – sustainably and biologically.
It is a universe of feelings, moods and atmospheres, blended together harmoniously by the desire to bring inspiration and beauty to every experience.
Every action is an encounter; it transforms everyday life into a tiny work of art, where imagination and reality unite.
The iconic Luisa Beccaria style combines dynamic urban energy with the spirit of the Arcadian countryside. It embraces memories of journeys and artistic references to curate a unique adventure.
Values
The Luisa Beccaria philosophy embraces true craftsmanship, from raw materials to unique fabrics. The products are made with skill and professional expertise, the kind of collaboration that breeds sincere and versatile friends in the wardrobe, enriching life. All achieve superlative quality and ensure the lowest possible impact on the environment.
Sustainability is achieved through slow fashion, by creating shapes and styles that adapt to modern luxury yet remain timeless.
The brand’s language is evocative and poetic-eccentric at times. It aims to communicate the fragile yet strong, passionate nature of a self-confident, romantic woman, the kind who projects herself in all that surrounds her.
Inclusivity is also a key part of the research, as the dresses or objects are dedicated to all the world’s women.
These are some of Luisa Beccaria’s values.
We strive to shape a new concept of femininity that condenses grace and strength.
Brand History
Luisa Beccaria’s aesthetics were perfectly defined at the very beginning of the young Milanese designer’s career. In her early twenties, she exhibited her first collections amidst art galleries and wonderful gardens in the centre of Milan. Light dresses, pictorial inspirations, frailty and luxury fabrics were the main features of an aesthetic lexicon which evolved over time, marking the pathway of the label’s growing strength.
In 1984, the first monobrand store opened in the artistic area of Brera in Milan, and then, in 1987, another store for childrenswear, after the birth of Luisa’s first two little girls. The following years saw several shows, presented outside of the calendar, with unconventional concepts, artistic moods and unusual venues.
It was in 1991 that the then-young brand was first invited to the Rome catwalks, and immediately afterwards, to the haute couture shows in Paris.
The first ready-to-wear collection was presented in 2001 in Milan mixing dream and luxury with the needs of everyday dressing.
The store continued to expand with the addition of couture and bridal departments.
In these years, Luisa began her American adventure, after the birth of her fifth child. She started to bring the collections all over the world and, in particular, to the USA.
A group of selected international stores began to stock Luisa Beccaria dreamy and ethereal iconic collections.
Different types of women and celebrities fell in love with this bespoke, new-romantic, light and sometimes fairy-tale style: Nicole Kidman, Sarah Jessica Parker, Angelina Jolie, Kate Winslet, Halle Berry, Madonna, Uma Thurman, Helena Bonham Carter, Lady Gabriella Windsor, just to mention a few.
In 2006, Lucilla, Luisa’s first-born child, started to cooperate in the company. The “mother and daughter duo” has evolved slowly, and this alliance nowadays applies to the special lifestyle project, embracing different features and issues, mixing once again dream, art, nature in order to create a continuous dialogue between generations.
In 2017, Luna, number four, join the company and started the eccomerce and online develop of Luisa Beccaria.
In more recent years, other children, Lucrezia and Ludovico, have become involved in various activities of the company bringing enthusiasm and new skills to the company development.
Capri
Following the success of the Milan atelier, in 2021 Luisa opened a boutique on the island of Capri, the centre of the Italian Dolce Vita. Located in the famous Piazzetta, the boutique chose one of the oldest locations on the island which had previously housed a fabled jewellery store. Sun, reflections, lemon trees, pergolas – there is nothing better than the atmosphere of mythical Capri to present Luisa’s magical collections. In this boutique, in addition to our lines, we have added a beachwear collection – bathing suits, kaftan dresses, slippers, sun hats, towels interpreted through our famous flower prints.
Fashion Concept and Activities
Aesthetics and ethics are one and the same in Luisa Beccaria’s world. Eternal beauty is the inspiration. We believe artistry and creativity, when combined with our specially designed fabrics, prints and colours, translate to an ethereal vision of femininity. This new-romantic approach is rooted in painting, poetry and music. We believe this is the secret for both couture and ready-to-wear to come to life.
Concept Store / Maison
Luisa Beccaria’s contemporary inspiration and creativity are embodied in its one-of-a-kind luminous Milan store in Via Formentini 1. It is a crystal box with mirrors, boiseries and chandeliers, that reflect the brand’s new-romantic world. Here, Luisa Beccaria’s dreamy collections are displayed: ready-to-wear, bridal, childrenswear, accessories, homeware, couture and made-to-order. There is also an important and extensive collection of bridal gowns, wedding lists and a special occasion section with numerous ideas and proposals for the perfect event.
In the renowned Brera district, the historical heart of Milan, with its peculiar mix of art, nature and fashion, Luisa Beccaria opens the door to this unique maison, which transforms shopping into a bespoke, authentic experience. It is a sensory journey, starting from the window displays, and then leading to textures, colours and emotions. It is a window into the Luisa Beccaria lifestyle.
Bridal
Luisa Beccaria’s wedding gown collection offers multiple proposals to illuminate any type of wedding. A world of wedding gowns, accessories and details designed to light up any occasion: from country and more whimsical weddings, to the most sumptuous and fairy-tale ones. Superb fabrics, handmade craftsmanship, breath-taking silhouettes and the meticulous attention to detail make each bridal creation a “dream come true”, the unique marriage of Luisa Beccaria iconic style and your own intimate desires.

On the floor below all our production is prepared for the various workshops in the neighborhood and it is also where the final quality control takes place. All the fabrics, trimmings, accessories and other materials are also stored here.

Wholesale & Distribution
Apart from our direct channels LB distributes fashion and homeware lines to a selected number of international retailers with a particular flexibility to each client’s needs and requests.
The collections are officially presented twice a year during the Milano Collezioni calendar, plus supplemental drops which are added during the year
Homeware Collection
Sunlight streams through coloured glasses, whilst fields of spring flowers, rendered in porcelain, form the table centre piece, all presented on an elaborate tablecloth. Beauty is evoked through both small and larger details, which create a dialogue between nature and the home.
The home is at the centre of Luisa Beccaria’s harmonious world. Its unique sensibility is not expressed simply through fashion and objects, but also through creating exceptional environments. The emphasis is on the tasteful and creative use of ceramic tiles and wallpaper and using traditional artisanal methods.
We are available for consultancy about houses, landscape and party design.
Who We Are
