Olivia Burton was founded in 2011 by best friends and ex-fashion buyers Jemma and Lesa, who met on their first day at the London College of Fashion. They bonded over a love of design, a passion to start their own business and a mutual struggle to find a watch that they wanted to wear.

Named after Lesa’s great aunt whose spirited approach and energy was a huge inspiration to the girls, Olivia Burton debuted its first collection in September 2012. Designs are brought to life at their East London studio, where Jemma and Lesa work closely with their small team to ensure every piece is tweaked to perfection.
