In 1977, Roy Raymond opened Victoria’s Secret in San Francisco after finding department-store lingerie counters impersonal and uncomfortable. He named the company after Queen Victoria and fitted the first shop, at Stanford Shopping Center, with a parlor-like setting meant to feel private rather than clinical. A mail-order catalog followed so customers could browse at home. In 1982 he sold the still-small chain to Leslie Wexner’s The Limited for about one million dollars. Wexner then multiplied stores and catalogs, turning a regional idea into a national intimate-apparel brand whose later runway shows became a widely watched spectacle. The founding impulse stayed simple and documented: close a gap in how lingerie was sold, then scale that experience through retail and print. What began as one storefront and a catalog became, over the following decades, one of the most recognizable names in the category, without needing a manufactured crisis to explain the path from a San Francisco shop to a mass-market fashion business.
