BONJOUR

I'm Lucy,  an English girl who spent her 20s living in Paris, working in high-end fashion PR, and learning firsthand how French women make style look so effortless.

That experience changed everything for me. The elegance. The restraint. The perfectly imperfect hair and I became a devoted Francophile — and, let’s be honest, I never quite got over Paris.

Aurélie launched in January 2021 as a small online clothing brand selling handpicked Parisian pieces I love. But it’s grown into something more: a curated corner of the internet for women who secretly wish they were French.


What Is Aurélie?Today Aurélie is part boutique, part blog, part way of life.
 It’s where you’ll now find:


  •  Aurélie clothing brand - Seasonal Parisian-style capsule collections, designed in and sourced from Paris, then hand-picked by me. The Aurélie collection includes Jeans, Trench Coats, Bretons and additional pieces that evoke quintessential Parisian style. 

  • The Aurélie Edit - Curated edits of pieces by my favourite French brands as well as Paris travel guides 

Whether you’re getting dressed, planning a trip to Paris, or romanticising your morning coffee, Aurélie is here to help you feel a little more à la française. 

Why I Created This Brand

After returning to the UK and working in luxury travel PR,  still very much rooted in France, I  couldn’t shake the feeling that I wanted to bring a little Paris into everyday life. When my Travel PR business took a nose dive due to the Pandemic, I realised that it was now or never to create Aurélie. 

 

I started Aurélie from home with just a few edits and a dream to create a brand that feels like you are getting a little slice of Paris -  elegant, and understated and at an affordable price point. 

 

Every product, post and photo reflects what I learned from French women: quality matters more than quantity. Repetition is chic. Style is a mindset.You don’t need to be French to live beautifully, but it doesn’t hurt to pretend.


For You, the FrancophileIf you:
 – Have a Pinterest board called “Paris Apartment”
 – Prefer café au lait over flat white
 – Secretly want to throw away 70% of your wardrobe and start again
 – Or dream of dressing like a Parisian, even if you live in Leeds…Then you are already an Aurélista.Merci for being here — I’m so glad you found this little world.Avec amour,

 Founder of Aurélie,  a forever Francophile
