Founded in Sydney in 2010, Nude Lucy is an Australian womenswear label offering a premium everyday wardrobe inspired by an effortlessly relaxed Australian lifestyle. Rather than chasing trends, the brand has built its reputation as a trustworthy and timeless destination for casualwear — designed “by women, for women.” Since launch, Nude Lucy has expanded beyond its core apparel range into loungewear and homewares, reflecting the same relaxed, quality-first aesthetic across categories. Nude Lucy is part of Accent Group’s Vertical Brands division, alongside ODE, Liido, FELLE and Stylerunner the Label.
