CHiLLi was born in Manchester - founded by 2 sisters/best friends. Mixed race, queer and social by nature, we grew up in a city where self-expression is part of the culture and taking up space is non-negotiable.
CHiLLi started as presents for our family & friends, just for fun, just for the girlies. We weren’t thinking about the ‘industry’, we were thinking about Friday nights, group chats, bodies that didn’t fit old-school lingerie marketing and the kind of confidence that comes from wearing something made for you.
But the more we made, the more we realised: lingerie wasn’t speaking to people like us. Brands were still stuck on youth, size limits, binary gender, and tokenistic inclusivity. We wanted something unapologetic & stylish without the performative edge, made for people who know themselves.
So CHiLLi became a brand.
Right now, every piece is handmade - crafted with care, not mass-produced. That craftsmanship matters to us. But it’s not just about stitches. It’s about the ethos we sew into every piece: a commitment to boldness, self-expression and real joy in being exactly who you are.
And that ethos will never change, even as we grow.
CHiLLi designs lingerie as an act of rebellion and self-love, our pieces are unapologetically gender-free, size-inclusive and attitude-heavy. We’re here for the hotties who are grown, confident, chaotic and maybe at times a little intimidating.
When you put on CHiLLi, you’re not just wearing lingerie. You’re stepping into your power: bold, fierce, body-confident, accepted in your gender, unapologetic and self-aware.
But CHiLLi isn’t just lingerie. It’s a vibe. A community. Eventually, we want to go beyond the product - hosting events, building safe spaces, and creating moments where our girlies can celebrate together.
Because at CHiLLi, lingerie isn’t the final touch.
It’s the spark.
