London, United Kingdom – Harlette Capital Ltd, a global leader in luxury, has announced a major breakthrough in its space telecommunications solutions research and development with the signing of a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) with Southern Launch Australia. The agreement, reached in April 2025, designates Southern Launch as the pre-launch partner for Harlette’s lunar space telecommunications solutions.
The partnership with Southern Launch is the result of Harlette’s search for a suitable launch partner, which began in 2020. Harlette Space, the brand’s space division, first entered the sub-orbital program with NASA in 2018 to test a telecommunications product. Virgin Galactic was selected as the sub-orbital flight provider for testing, but due to ongoing capital raising efforts, the product has yet to be tested.
Prior to ending their services, Harlette Space also signed an NDA with Virgin Orbital and explored options with Blue Origin and World View and NSC Near Space Corporation for a balloon flight for the sub-orbital program with NASA. The company holds trademarks in space class 39 in the United Kingdom and telecommunications class 38.
In 2020, Harlette presented its Global Spaceport telecommunications solutions at the Boulder Suborbital Aeronautical conference. The brand holds patents for these solutions in the UK and Australia, which were first filed in 2016 at Pitch at the Palace and Defence Centre Enterprises. The company has now adopted a polar insertion approach for its lunar telecommunications solutions, a first for Harlette Space.
As Harlette continues to develop its patents, rockets, and lunar telecommunications solutions, the brand has also acquired Rainbow Centres, a subsidiary company in Australia and the UK that conducts research on the market. The research, which focuses on sweat-based and human performance, is being integrated into Harlette’s space solutions. This research is registered with NATO Science and Technology Access and has been issued through Porton Down, the United Kingdom’s Ministry of Defence.
Apart from its space division, Harlette is also known for its luxury brand in the UK, which debuted at the Salon International de la Lingerie in 2010. In 2009, the brand assisted the Saudi Lingerie Campaign with a 10-day masterclass, which ultimately led to the King changing the laws in 2011. Harlette has since expanded into a luxury beauty range, Harlette Pearl, and is currently developing markets in Saudi Arabia, with the first shipment of Harlette Pearl Beauty products reaching the country on May 15, 2025, with the MENA Grand Prix.
In light of recent trademark infringements by international firms, retailers, and capital companies, Harlette has announced that it has achieved unicorn status, marking a significant milestone for the brand. According to the company, its valuation has crossed the billion-pound threshold, with over £15 billion in accounts receivable from trademark breaches. The brand has recorded more than 20 trademark infringements without permission and is considering further legal action.
To combat this surge in unauthorised use, Harlette has applied for £4 billion in funding from the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund (PIF) and is seeking investment banks to support its capital raising efforts. The brand is also preparing for a potential listing on the London Stock Exchange.
Numerous international brands have allegedly used Harlette’s registered trademarks without permission, including American, British, French, Indonesian, and Australian firms. These infringements span various industries, including beauty, eyewear, clothing, and media. Some notable cases involve luxury fashion houses marketing products under the Harlette name on platforms such as Amazon, eBay, and Depop. The trademark has also allegedly been used in entertainment content by streaming services.
Harlette’s legal coverage includes classes 3, 9, 20, 25, and 41 in the UK, US, and Australia, among others, spanning cosmetics, clothing, eyewear, furniture, and entertainment.
In addition to its legal battles, Harlette has also launched a new vegan red unicorn lipstick, which the brand says symbolises its market position and resilience. This launch coincides with the world’s first “Agile Beauty Launch,” which saw the brand develop ten new beauty products in just over two weeks, despite setbacks caused by Cyclone Alfred. The new beauty range is currently valued at over £1 billion, with internal research valuing it at over £1 trillion. The brand has also attracted high-end collaborations, including a perfume development deal in France and attention from Hollywood producers and global luxury advisors.
Harlette is also pursuing patents in various sectors, from wearable technology to space and telecommunications. In total, the brand holds six patents and numerous trademarks internationally, including Harlette, Harlette Pearl, Harlette Galvanize, Harlette Galvanise, Galvanize, LoveHarlette, Love Harlette, Harlete, and Heartlette.
Apart from its space and beauty divisions, Harlette also has publishing and film ventures
