About Emily Lacey

Emily Lacey was founded in 1999 after my mom bought the most darling dresses for my daughter Emily in Paris. We fell in love with the classic style and craftsmanship and became close friends with the owner. I began importing the dresses to make money while pursuing my MBA. Starting with booths on the Junior League circuit the brand grew into a thriving wholesale and private label business. When our friend retired and closed her Parisian boutique, we took over the manufacturing which is done in a beautiful, airy home in Madagascar. "Les filles" are like family now and they are the most talented designers and seamstresses. We even have a lemur who pays visits on occasion! Boutiques worldwide have carried the line and it has been featured in the press like Town & Country, Vogue Bambini, The New York Times and on NBC. During Covid, we refocused on direct sales and have continued to innovate and grow. One thing that hasn't changed is our creation of the most exquisite, intricate smocked apparel that can be found in the market today. Now that the times have changed, we are ready to offer the collection to special boutiques.Read their story
