The label launched in September 2008. A lower priced line, Victoria by Victoria Beckham, was introduced by 2011, and the brand added denim, eyewear and fragrance lines. In September 2019 Victoria Beckham Beauty launched with co-founder Sarah Creal. The brand has won Best Designer Brand and Brand of the Year at the British Fashion Council's Fashion Awards.

Why it matters
Victoria Beckham is a high profile example of a celebrity founder building a credible designer label, and of the financial patience such brands can require. Its resale and concierge services show how smaller luxury labels extend customer relationships beyond the product. The separate beauty business also shows how a fashion founder can build an adjacent category under the same name while keeping it operationally distinct.
