Buy at 1907 prices!
Figleaves must really have some marketing geniuses in their ranks. They’ve just launched one of the most interesting campaigns I’ve seen them do: “buy a bra and pick up a brief/panty at 1907 prices!” They say: “To celebrate 100 years of the bra we have teamed up with some of our favourite lingerie brands who [...]

Christmas Lingerie
We got this in our mailbox today: “Help me! My girlfriend loves lingerie, and I’m sure she’d adore me for getting her something sexy for Christmas, but I’m in doubt over what style to pick.
