Our Story

"I have the simplest of taste, I am always satified with the best" Oscar Wilde

We are so glad you are here to take a peak in our wardrobe. Rescue Lux is NOT a consignment store. It is our own handpicked collection, established over 40 years spent collecting and styling clothes around the globe, from Paris to LA, London to New York. Everything is verified and authenticated by us and provenance of vintage items we share in the product descriptions. We have purchased everything for another purpose, every piece in the collection tells a story and now we hope to give everything an amazing 2nd life. Some things are vintage, some things still new with tags, purchased and never used, some things are preloved.

We're fashion entrepreneurs & working Hollywood fashion stylists, Shirley and Holly, and all this stuff, gathered over a lifetime by us, a lifetime of passion for styling luxury clothes, jewellery and accessories, is now available.

After years together working, shopping and styling, the whole collection is vast so we've divided it into smaller collections for you to make your experience browsing Rescue Lux easier. You can also use the search to find all our hats, bracelets etc or to search by specific brand.

Our customers understand many of these pieces are rare one of a kind items they are excited to find, purchase and own. 

We hope you love everything as much as us. We don’t offer returns because we ship fully tracked and insured worldwide. Our global shipping charges are FREE with minimum spends of £50 in the UK, £200 in Europe. 

We understand new customers may be nervous about shopping without the security of a returns policy but if you have any questions about anything in our collection we are always here to help.

We pride ourselves on only having happy clients and our aim is to keep you coming back, time and time again.

Shirley's from Leicester and Holly's from Leeds. They met in London in 1988.

They worked together in Hollywood from 1993 to 2005 as fashion stylists and enjoyed a luxury lifestyle hobnobbing in LA LA Land and rubbing shoulders at the Oscars.

They returned to the UK from the US after enduring life changing circumstances to build their sustainable fashion brand made in England Venus Cow.

Both women, passionate recyclers and high thrifters believe beautiful clothes and accessories should be looked after, appreciated and shared over and over again.

Shirley an ardent collector of vintage and designer pieces, Holly a natural creative are excited to share the best of their collection.

Shirley and Holly have worked together for over thirty years and every piece hand picked by them tells it's own story.

"There's just something magical about the journey of rescued luxury"
