Coco Ribbon - inspiration, collections, accolades
OUR BRAND
Coco Ribbon is a girl’s best friend. A young luxury brand created to indulge and inspire the woman who loves and lives life to the full.
Launched as a boutique in Notting Hill in 2002, it kick-started the boudoir chic revolution and was the first London lifestyle store dedicated utterly to women.
Today Coco Ribbon encompasses our online boutique, CocoRibbon.com, as well as our own fashion, lingerie, cosmetics and gift collections stocked in the best stores both in the UK and internationally.

THE EXCLUSIVITY FACTOR
Ensuring our boutique has some of the most beautiful pieces available, sourcing takes the girls around the world. The discovery of new talented designers especially from Sydney, Alison’s hometown, is an integral part of the brand. Coco Ribbon is known as the first boutique to bring many of these emerging names to London and remains an important selling platform for Australian designers in the UK. You’ll also find labels in Coco Ribbon from the US, Europe and Brazil.
Bespoke prints hand-painted or designed in-house ensure our fashion, lingerie and gifts have a distinctive and unique look that cannot be emulated. For this reason we’re best known for supplying the coolest party girls in town with the chicest party dresses they won’t see on someone else. We’re also the one-stop destination for buying the girl who has everything that unique, highly personal and quirky luxury gift.
OUR OWN-LABEL FASHION
Pamela Blundell (formerly Copperwheat Blundell) creates couture pieces for the A-list and has been appointed Coco Ribbon’s in-house designer. Pamela recently designed for Amy Winehouse’s “Back to Black” tour and Kylie Minogue’s “Showgirl” tour. Our Autumn Winter 2008 collection can be found in some of the best stores worldwide including Harvey Nichols, Henry Bendels, Neiman Marcus and Scoop among others (please see our stockist page).
OUR BATH AND BODY RANGE
The CR by Cocoribbon range was developed over two years by one of Europe’s best chemists – Colette Haydon. A unique flower complex of black orchid, chinese rose, iris and lotus leaves the skin nourished and reduces the effects of free radical damage in the products which include a balm, handcream, body cream, bath oil and organic sugar scrub. The ingredients and bespoke fragrance are truly unique bringing a little bit of luxury to your every day.
OUR NAME
The name Coco Ribbon was created from the founders two favourite things – “Coco” because Alison Chow loves chocolate and “Ribbon” which was Sophie Oliver’s comforter as a child.
Our vision is that the Coco Ribbon experience will become one of your favourite things too.
