Our Story and Our Storytellers

Hester Bly is a luxury travel-inspired womenswear resort brand that was born from a strong love of learning, discovering the treasures of the world and the boundless joy and freedom the art of travel bestows.

Hester Bly is the culmination of a life-long and never-ending passionate search of the most beautiful travel pieces that enhance the beauty of every women and breathe seamlessly in the surroundings of every travel destination.

As a symbol and in celebration of iconic female explorers and travel pioneers, the name “Hester Bly” combines the names of the first-of-their-kind adventurers:

“Queen of the Desert” Lady Hester Stanhope and Nellie Bly.

Born a hundred years apart either side of an ocean, both women were history-makers in their own right and possessed a strong, individual style and spirit which is lovingly passed on in every single stitch of a Hester Bly piece.

Each Hester Bly collection is designed for a global destination, inspired by and drawing upon local colours, textures and cultural stories, thereby creating a unique curated wardrobe specific for the destination.
