About Honey B
Honey Birdette was created by women for women, to offer an experience unlike any other lingerie retailer. We are a luxury lifestyle brand offering high-end lingerie and premium bedroom accessories. Bold, innovative and a little naughtier than you would expect, Honey Birdette has quickly become the most talked about lingerie brands. We inspire, create curiosity, and empower women through their beauty and confidence.
The Role
As a Lingerie Designer at Honey Birdette, you’ll help bring the brand’s fearless, feminine, and luxurious aesthetic to life.

You’ll collaborate closely with our Production, Marketing & Retail teams to ensure each piece not only looks extraordinary but is commercially strong and ready for the global stage. This is an exciting opportunity to grow your creative voice, refine your technical expertise, and contribute to a brand that dares to stand out.
