Victoire Vermeulen

What Victoire Vermeulen does

Victoire Vermeulen is a French haute couture bridal fashion house founded in 2013 by three sisters from Lille — Eglantine, Myrtille, and Eugénie Vermeulen — operating under the legal entity SA VERMEULEN (Société Anonyme, RCS Paris 886 780 386). The house specializes in bespoke, handcrafted wedding gowns and accessories, producing all pieces in a family atelier in the Willems / Lille region of northern France using noble materials such as Calais lace, silk crêpe, organza, and mohair. Its product portfolio spans four signature couture collections (Signature, Ivresse, Désinvolte, À Croquer), a civil-ceremony line (Collection Civile), a resale outlet (Les Pépites By Victoire Vermeulen), and a branded accessories line that includes the patented Aile Laurier detachable wing system.

The maison runs two by-appointment showrooms — a sales showroom at 57 rue de Rivoli in Paris and a combined showroom/atelier at 85 rue de la Victoire in Willems — and sells through curated international partner boutiques including Le Printemps Haussmann (Paris), Olympe (France), Melody Nelson (Belgium), NENEE (Germany), and THE MEWS (international). A direct e-commerce channel on victoirevermeulen.com handles ready-to-ship accessories, pre-owned Pépites pieces, and online payments processed via Stripe and Crédit du Nord. Terms of sale explicitly cover metropolitan France, the EU, the United Kingdom, and the United States, providing a legal framework for cross-border e-commerce even though physical retail remains France-centric.

The business model is built on three revenue streams: (i) bespoke haute couture bridal commissions sold by appointment with an 8-week production timeline; (ii) wholesale supply of collection pieces to select partner boutiques; and (iii) direct e-commerce sales of accessories and Les Pépites outlet items at fixed price points (wings €630–€1,220, capes €720, veils €420–€520). Pricing is one-time purchase only, with no recurring or subscription component, and delivery is free within France and Europe. The company is privately held, family-controlled with no external investors, and operates with a lean team of approximately 5 employees.
