Iconic lingerie boutique owner retires after forty years

June Kenton, the owner of popular lingerie boutique store Rigby & Peller, has finally called it a day after forty glorious years of bra fitting. She’s currently 73 and decides to spend more time with herself and her family.

Rigby & Peller was founded during the World War II and it has gained prominence after Queen Elizabeth II became a frequent customer of the establishment. With this popularity, world-renowned celebrities and rock stars have flocked to this establishment to purchase. In her latest music video, Lady Gaga was seen wearing a Rigby & Peller creation. Other popular customers include Margaret Thatcher, Gwyneth Paltrow and Renee Zellweger.

Kenton revealed that back then that the biggest cup size she fitted and created was a C. In the seventies, it increased to a D and currently, the sizes has gotten bigger – going to as big as a size J.
