OUR STORY
The Story Behind Drury Lane
Some things are simply too beautiful to belong to just one lifetime.
THE FOUNDER
Meet Delisa
Delisa's love affair with fashion, art, and the beauty of the past began long before Drury Lane London.
Delisa entered the world of fashion at just fourteen years old, eventually earning a degree in Art with a major in Fashion Design and studying abroad at Parsons. What followed was a wonderfully diverse career spanning decades - from fashion buying and editorial projects, including work for Sports Illustrated and French Zelle, to more than 25 years as a wardrobe stylist. Along the way, she has had the privilege of working with celebrities, professional athletes, and an extraordinary range of private clients, with her work featured in magazines and on television.
Throughout those years, one belief has remained constant: true style is never about following trends. It is about individuality, instinct, and wearing what speaks to you.
But Delisa's fascination with beautiful things has always reached much further into the past.
Delisa has long been captivated by history, particularly the extraordinary artistry of the fifteenth century and the exquisite detail found in the paintings of Jan van Eyck. Even as a teenager, she found herself drawn to cameos, antique jewelry, and pieces that seemed to carry a story of their own.
THE COLLECTION
A Collector's Eye
There is something deeply romantic about holding a jewel that has already lived a lifetime - or perhaps several. Who wore it? What did it celebrate? What secrets might it hold?
Delisa has always believed that we never truly own these extraordinary treasures. We are merely their temporary custodians. They are, in a sense, on loan to us from the past.
We have the privilege of wearing them, loving them, and adding our own memories and emotions to their stories before passing them along to another generation.
And that is the heart of Drury Lane London.
A carefully curated collection of antique and vintage jewelry, chosen for its beauty, craftsmanship, character, and the wonderful sense of history each piece carries.
THE DRURY LANE PHILOSOPHY
A Story Worth Continuing
Our hope is not simply to find these treasures new homes, but to give them new lives. To see them worn with a favorite pair of jeans, taken to dinner, passed down to a daughter, or given to someone who will treasure them for years to come.
Because beautiful jewelry was never meant to spend its life tucked away.
It was meant to be worn, loved, remembered - and loved all over again.
Welcome to Drury Lane London. Where the past becomes part of your story.
