About PrettyLittleThing

Founded in 2012, PrettyLittleThing ("PLT") originated as an accessories only website. It soon saw that its customers wanted to buy top to toe outfits and introduced a clothing range in 2013. Since then PLT has grown into a forward-thinking fashion brand offering killer affordable style to female fashion breakers and makers. The business is all about the right here, right now. PLT doesn't just anticipate trends; it creates them, taking inspiration from the catwalk, celebrities, and influencers, making sure they're available for the customer to shop on PLT's site before they're available anywhere else.
