Victoria's Secret lingerie and beauty products

Victoria's Secret is a premier American brand synonymous with lingerie, sleepwear, and beauty products. Founded in 1977 by Roy Raymond and his wife Gaye in San Francisco, California, the brand was born from Raymond's desire to create a comfortable shopping environment for men buying lingerie for women. The brand's name was inspired by the Victorian era, aiming to evoke a sense of historical elegance and sophistication. In 1982, the company was sold to Les Wexner's L Brands (formerly The Limited), which transformed it into a global retail powerhouse.

Today, Victoria's Secret & Co. operates as an independent public company following its spinoff from L Brands in 2021. While the brand is deeply rooted in its American heritage with headquarters in Reynoldsburg, Ohio, its manufacturing is a global operation. Production is distributed across approximately 300 factories in multiple countries, including Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, China, and the United States, allowing the brand to leverage diverse manufacturing expertise and manage its complex supply chain efficiently. The company continues to evolve, recently expanding its portfolio through the acquisition of Adore Me and establishing joint ventures for international markets like China.
