What began in her bedroom as a way of helping women reconnect with themselves has grown into a UK-wide community centred around celebrating womanhood at every stage. Each Mère & Muse box combines luxury lingerie with full-sized self-care treats and little indulgent extras, delivered straight to your door. Boxes can be purchased as a one-off treat or through a monthly subscription, making them perfect for gifting or simply doing something lovely for yourself. The brand started with just 50 boxes a month, which sold out, increased to 100 and sold out again, and is now at 150 boxes a month being sent to women across the UK. Alongside the signature boxes, Mère & Muse creates bespoke gift boxes for brides and bridesmaids, mums-to-be, birthdays and special occasions, as well as dedicated postpartum recovery boxes designed with new mums in mind. At its heart, Mère & Muse is about reminding women that they deserve to feel seen, celebrated and cared for , whether they’re becoming a mum, getting married, going through a new chapter or simply being themselves. Luxury, self-care and a little reminder that you matter too. 🤍 🌟 Mère and Muse lingerie on Instagram & Facebook: Mère and Muse lingerie TikTok: mere.and.muse Follow The Braw and The Brave Website: https://www.thebrawandthebrave.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheBrawandTheBrave TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thebrawandthebrave Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebrawandthebravepodcast/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheBrawandTheBrave
