Victoria's Secret
Victoria's Secret is an American fashion house for lingerie, accessories and cosmetic products. The company was started in San Francisco by Roy Raymond in 1977. Originally designed with the intent of making lingerie shopping a comfortable experience for men, Victoria's Secret has grown into a lingerie empire with more than 1,000 stores across the U.S. and select countries around the world. The company's growth as a retailer expanded significantly after it was sold to Limited Brands in 1982.
