The mood of the collection is Shangahi Boudoir, described as, “Be seduced by the sophisticated romance of 1920’s Shanghai. Reflecting the explosion of creativity, within the decadence of this sparkling city, and oozing with style and glamour, this collection salutes the clash on conformity and creativity that defines the golden days of Shanghai.”

Here’s the message she sent out:

Hi all,

We have had a break in at our storage at 219 Bow Rd in London and had 8000 units of our current collection A/W stolen last night. The police are investigating but if anyone is approached with Playful Promises stock that is not direct from us or sees it for sale in any unlikely places like markets over the weekend please urgently inform us so I can pass the info onto the police as you can image this has a phenomenal wholesale value and is a major problem for our small business.

Sorry for the impersonal nature of the email and it has gone out to almost everyone in my address book but I have a feeling the stock is going to show up in markets or sold in bulk for a discount as it would be quite hard to shift 8000 units of distinctive stock and feel the best chance of recovering it is by alerting as many people as possible who might see it floating about.

Thanks,
Emma

Photos of the styles stolen are right here.

I adore all of these, but obvioulsy we were a bit early with our coverage; the Doll Face pieces aren’t in the shops yet, and the Alice’s Party (winter collection) is only now available… Which is the whole point of this post:Playful Promises Mademoiselle Bra La Magia, who took a Playful Promises break some time ago, restocked PP, and now have a large stock of the Alice’s Party collection on their excellent website!

What’s so great about these pieces is the overall package. It’s one of my all time favorite collections, simply because of the stunning eye for detail, the excellent design — and the fact that those elements are combined with affordable price tags.Playful Promises Camille Bra That’s so awesome! This breathtaking Mademoiselle Bra, for example, is one of the most adorable little numbers I’ve seen in a long time. It’s available at La Magia for just £30. That’s $60 for a designer cheeky designer bra — beat that!

I know, I sound biased. I am biased. I love Playful Promises. You will too after checking the photos. Happy shopping! ;)

As you may remember from back in April, I’m a big fan of the Playful Promises lingerie, and these pieces just confirm my beliefs: PP is in the top-5 of my favorite brands — and will remain there at least for 12 more months. ;)

Obviously I got my hands on some early photos (by jameslightbown.co.uk) — and they look so sexy — I’m sure you’ll melt just like I did. Enjoy, more info soon on the Playful Promises website, — for now it’s still showing the excellent Alice’s Party collection in stores right now (get it at Barneys, Patricia Field, Henri Bendels, Luxe LA, …)!

There’s more PP news by the way — they plan on opening an online boutique soon — we’ll obviously let you know when it launches! ;)

I mean I like their website and I like a lot of the pieces they sell, but sometimes I just don’t get it. Their choice to stock one (ONE!) and a half piece from Playful Promises is an example of such a choice. The pretty Silk Butterfly Hipster is absolutely fab and the £12 retail price is great, don’t get me wrong, but why don’t they add some more REAL pieces to their stock?

Oh well… I’ve sent them an e-mail (I’m a naughty girl :D ), so who knows they’re planning to add more soon… ;)

Well, today there actually is a good reason to drop their name! La Magia has just discounted all of their Playful Promises stock and if you get the ruffle bustle suspender you get the matching thong for only £3.99!

Another great deal at La Magia if you ask me, make sure you check them out!

Well, after browsing through some of my most favorite online boutiques, I found them at the great La Magia shop!BabyFace Babydoll Playful Promises Not only is that great news, when you check out the price tags (from £10 to £35) on these beauties, you’ll see there’s so much more to be happy about ;-) !

I suggest you click right here and take a look at all the Playful Promises pieces they have in store, but for you lazy ones I’ll also show you my own little favorite: the Babyface Baby Doll Set. Made from soft black chiffon with pretty pink ribbon trim, this baby doll has underwired cups, and comes with a mesh and ribbon side-tie g-string: it works! I’m not usually too fond of babydolls (hence the low amount of articles about them – sorry!) but this one is so pretty!

La Magia really has a great stocklist. Not only do they stock Playful Promises and Made by Niki (I mentioned this before), they’ve got Kiss Me Deadly (very special, very vintage!), Velda Lauder (class-A corsetry) and What Katie Did (burlesque, anyone?). Check them out!

I see a lot of lingerie every day. I look at hundreds of photo’s, visit loads of boutiques and there’s a good chance my knickersdrawer contains more pieces than yours. Every once in a while I find something new that makes me 100% sure I have to get it as soon as possible. Some women can fall in love with shoes, I can fall in love with a bra or a corset.

Today is one of those joyful days: I just discovered Playful Promises.

The brand, founded by Emma Parker in 2004, isn’t the most famous when it comes name recognition, but I can tell you now (and you’ll be convinced at the end of this article), it should be. As from now on, I’m going to do my best to change that. Everyone into lingerie should know about Playful Promises.

Alice’s Party, their latest collection, is absolutely stunning. The signature knickers, ribbon-decorated corsets and balconnettes, basques and thongs are all close to perfection. Yes, there, I’ve said it, perfection.

Their website is just as pretty. The photo’s (by James Lightbown) are beautiful, the models look beautiful, … it’s all beautiful.

I’m sorry, I can’t say anything bad. Nothing. I’m giving Playful Promises an A+ A++. Keep it coming, Emma, you just got yourself a new fan!
