who founded alalu?
I am Louison, originally from Belgium, graduated in fashion design and modeling in Liège with a specialization in lingerie acquired in Milan.
My academic background and experience in Milan have allowed me to master the complex art of lingerie, exploring traditional techniques while staying on top of the latest trends and innovations.
For me, lingerie is a world where refinement, sensuality and audacity come together. That's why I dream of one day seeing my own lingerie brand take flight. My greatest desire is to create collections that inspire confidence and emancipation, and to allow everyone to feel beautiful and powerful in their own skin.
Thank you for being part of this adventure and supporting my dream of making my passion a reality.
what is the meaning of "alalu"?
"alalu" is much more than just a word; it carries a deep and personal meaning as a tribute to my grandfather. As a child, when it was time to say goodbye, I would say "alalu" instead of saying "hi". This word, which has become a ritual between my grandfather Pierrot and myself, represents not only our complicity, but also the timeless love that continues to unite us, even beyond his physical presence.
The typography of the logo is a tribute to my godfather. Being quadriplegic, he used a typewriter to write. I took each letter and each character from this machine to make a font that I then used for my logo. This typography is therefore much more than just a writing style for me.
how is alalu eco-responsible?
As a Belgian designer, I have made it a point of honour to ensure that every step of our manufacturing process is environmentally friendly.
The fabrics used are OEKO-TEX certified or recycled, which means that they are not only of high quality, but also respectful of our planet. My commitment to eco-responsibility is also reflected in the packaging, which is made from recycled and/or recyclable materials.
I am particularly proud to point out that all suppliers are based in Europe. Favoring European partners helps reduce the carbon footprint and support the economy of our continent.
Each piece of "alalu" lingerie is handmade by myself, in Belgium. This artisanal approach guarantees not only the quality of each product, but also the care and love I put into each seam.
With alalu you choose ethical creations, made with passion and respect for our planet.
where do the fabrics come from?
The fabrics I use come exclusively from Europe, a deliberate choice to support our local artisans and minimize our environmental impact.
The lace you find in my creations is OEKO-TEX certified and comes from Germany guaranteeing not only quality, but also my commitment to ecology.
The mesh I use is made from recycled nylon, sourced from Italian workshops renowned for their expertise and commitment to sustainability.
where are the pieces made and by whom?
I am the designer behind every seam, every lace, every delicate detail. All the lingerie pieces you discover are made by my own hands, in my small workshop located in the south of Belgium.
why are the sizes different?
I have developed a wide range of sizes so that everyone can find their perfect fit. alalu offers over 50 different bra sizes, going far beyond the standard sizes found elsewhere.
Taking your measurements is essential to finding the size that best fits your body shape. alalu sizes are designed to accommodate the variety of shapes and curves of each individual, providing absolute comfort and a perfect fit. Taking the time to measure your bust and underbust will ensure that you find the right bra for you.
The sizes are named differently, also in order to break the codes of standard fast-fashion sizes. My goal is to offer a unique and personalized experience, far from conventional labels. Each size has its own name, reflecting our commitment to individuality and self-acceptance.
how to find your size?
Grab your tape measure and head over to the size guide page where you'll find detailed instructions on how to choose your lingerie size.
Simply follow the steps in the guide to identify the size that best suits you.
If you have any questions or need further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Please take the time to measure yourself correctly. This ensures that you receive underwear that fits like a glove and provides you with comfort and confidence.
what is the delivery delay ?
Each piece you order is handmade by myself, with all the care and attention it deserves. This artisanal approach guarantees the quality and uniqueness of each product, but it also requires a little more time. Delivery time may vary depending on the number of orders I receive.
As soon as your order is ready to be shipped, I will send you a confirmation email. I remind you to check your spam in case my message gets lost in this electronic jungle because I want to make sure that you are informed at every step of the process.
