About the brand

Carine Gilson is a Belgian luxury lingerie brand that elevates intimate apparel to haute couture level. Founded in the 1990s by designer Carine Gilson, a graduate of Antwerp's Royal Academy of Fine Arts, the brand emerged when she acquired a small Brussels atelier and transformed it into a world-renowned lingerie house. Drawing inspiration from Art Deco aesthetics, 1930s fashion, and Russian ballet, Carine Gilson creates exquisite handcrafted pieces using the finest Lyon silk and delicate Chantilly lace. Each garment is meticulously crafted in her Brussels workshop, where traditional techniques like lace incrustation are elevated to an art form. The brand embodies a philosophy of perfection and exclusivity, creating unique pieces that combine timeless elegance with modern sensuality. For over 30 years, Carine Gilson has dressed discerning women worldwide, offering lingerie that transcends functionality to become wearable art celebrating femininity and refined craftsmanship.

Confessions of a Fabric Addict

Lingerie Dreams: Carine Gilson and My Aspirations in Design Today, I stumbled across a video about Carine Gilson, and I must say—oh my! This is who I aspire to be.

Confessions of a Fabric Addict

Her work embodies everything I adore: silk, lace, and the ultimate in luxurious craftsmanship.

Dec, 2024

I haven't bought anything in the last 2 years, but I've seen a definite decline in the quality of pieces in the last ~6 years or so. Most noticeably, the quality of silk and stitch length.

Jun, 2024

On my 'newest' pieces, within a couple of wears the fabric had frayed so much around the lace appliqué that holes started to develop. I've also seen cheaper stitch methods start to appear, like overlocked edges on the floaty shorts and inside bra darts.

Jun, 2024

I personally stopped shopping there because it was no longer worth the price *to me*, but I know a lot of people are still very happy with the products.

TBH I don't think the decline in quality is unique to CG; it's still one of the best brands on the market for the style that they do, it's just not AS good as it used to be.
