Other than our stockings, a fashion corset, or decorative bra straps, most of our underpinnings stay under wraps for only a select audience to appreciate. But you can be public about your love for lingerie, with lingerie jewelry. Wear your passion around your neck or on your wrist, and keep them all guessing about what they can’t see!

Vollers Corsets

The English corset company offers corset-inspired jewelry to compliment any outfit. Vollers jewelry can often be found in the product shots for the corsets themselves! They currently offer earrings, necklaces, and bracelets highlighting details that can be found in corsets, like the lacing or front clasp fastenings. Click here to see more or to purchase.

Kebe immigrated to France at the age of two in 1979. She pursued her degree in philosophy and law. After graduating, she worked as secretarial support to Managing Directors at various companies. By 2005, she grew tired of the discrimination she perceived in some parts of French society and decided to start her own company.

Kebe draws on her familiarity with French Civil Code, accounting, and other rules of business to begin «fatou fatal». She secured a grant from the Seine Saint Denis government and starts her lingerie dreams on only €8500. Through hard work and a bit of luck, Kebe is selected to join other artists and creators in residence at Ateliers de Paris. The workshops are part of the former property owned by Jean Paul Gaultier on Faubourg Saint-Antoine road.

I think it is incredibly hard to find a unique voice or hand in lingerie. The garments have been around for a very long time and although there are frequent improvements in materials and process, many designs are indistinguishable from other designs. Kebe provides a gust of fresh ideas in the lingerie space. Her vision is equal parts jewelry and seduction. Many women of African origin wear a pearl waist necklace known as “djaldjali”. In these cultures, the djaldjali is irresistible. It accentuates the hips and adorns the body with delicate stones and beads.

Kebe, originally from Senegal, is quite familiar with the djaldjali. In her country, it is often called a “bine-bine”. Kebe isn’t simply participating in cultural arbitrage. Her jewelry based lingerie includes real pearls, Swarovski crystals, fluorescent beads, shells, onyx, quartz, and other semi precious stones. The product is even sold in boxes that look much more like necklaces than the ubiquitous gift bags favoured by so many brands.

You can find Fatou for sale in Germany at Matadora Dessous and in France from French Lingerie Shop. The company told me, “We are looking for distributors to retail «fatou fatal» all over United States.” Currently, the 2006, 2007, and 2008 collections are for sale. The company said, “In June our new collection will be available on our website + an everyday wear collection.” Pricing for the collection is not for the timid. Sets range from €350-€995

Here is Kebe in an interview with 20 Minutes in France:

If not, maybe you picked up something special for yourself in the sales after the holidays. Are you looking for accessories or something to finish up your boudoir outfit? Here are some ideas to consider.

From the Cooper-Hewitt Design Museum gift shop comes these incredibly thin stainless steel, powder coated black or white and precision laser cut bracelets. Fabian’s design is inspired by lingerie and its use of lace. Find them for $135

If you need a lingerie inspired choker, you might have success with either of these. One the left is a latex choker from Gloss Couture for $34. On the right, is a leather and lace choker from mega supplier Allure. Find this one for $26.78.

If retro is more your style, then Lou Lou Loves You is an accessory designer you need to be familiar with. On the left is a one of her famous bows. This is made from double layered 100% silk satin and is £16.99. On the right, one of her special cover-ups. The Dorothy Boudoir Jacket in black/white gingham is 100% cotton with a delicate black frilled elastic which creates a fitted look. Long black ribbon ties the jacket together at the centre. Find it for £45.

If you are looking for a lower cover up, then Torrid has some designs for plus-sized ladies. These petticoats have additional details to make them perfect for the boudoir. On the left, a feathered offering about 15″ long in polyester for $38. On the right, a car wash inspired fringe petticoat about 17″ long also for $38.

Victoria's Secret Fantasy Bra

Jeweler Martin Katz made this one-of-a-kind creation with 3,575 black diamonds, 117 certified 1-carat round diamonds, 34 rubies, and 2 spotlight black drop diamonds totaling 100 carats. The total carat weight is 1500 ct. and the bra is designed for maximum cleavage enhancement. I think the photo speaks for itself here!

The bra, made of 7,256 Swarovksi crystals, took over 250 hours to hand-sew and weighs 850 grams. The 122-year-old company also presented a new logo and a plan to make the brand more eco-friendly by using products made of corn, hemp, and paper.

And incredibly, the supply seems to be endless. One of those myriad of companies is MED from Greece founded in 2003 by designer Christos Hatzivasileiou. Although he admits that his mandate is to focus on the erotic, play side of lingerie, even approaching fetish styles, the underwear that he creates is nonetheless tasteful and actually stunning in some pieces. He says that, “MED underwear is the ideal accessory for the protagonists of every daring erotic adventure, because of their unbelievably sexy fit and their revealing design, which liberates the libido hidden inside us”.

Perusing the Summer 2008 Collection “Precious”, the pieces are strikingly gorgeous. Anyone would be proud to wear these lace and crystal creations as there is nothing embarrassingly fetish about these undergarments. Meticulous detail in design and workmanship is seen in the beautiful matching ribbons intertwined throughout the black stockings. Lace bras with flower designs and pretty thongs adorned in crystals are mainstays of the sets while colours are demure and sexy in blacks, golds, hot pinks, reds and purples.

Sweet little bows and gold butterflies trim the sets off in a dainty and feminine fashion. And the collection is diverse with all an all-white line perfect for bridal wear in delicate lace stockings, and camisole or garter belt, bra and thong set. The lamé gold strapless bra and thong is exquisitely made with pretty lace flowers overlaying the cups of the breasts and gorgeous crystals around the waist of the thong.

The collection also offers a simple skin coloured line of bras and thongs. A strapless bra with flamboyant MED crystal thong, plain thong, halter style bra and thin bra with straps round out the skin tone collection.

And so it is true with the newest fashion accessory, the Bosom Button. Designed by a woman who was tired of trying to hide a safety pin to keep her wrap dress closed. She had a brilliant ‘light bulb’ moment…why not create a pin that can be worn on the outside and be fashionable?

These new little ‘must haves’ are high quality. Made with Swarovski crystals, or other fine gemstones, the Bosom Button is quick to use, wonderfully fashionable and very functional. Who would think that one little pin could do so much?

  • Bosom Button packaging and examplesUse on low cut tops to prevent that ‘peep show’
  • Keep a wrap top from becoming unwrapped
  • Secure a sari to the shoulder
  • Keep a sarong snuggly around the hips
  • Help a heaving pregnant bosom stay in place
  • Secure a shawl around the shoulders
  • Decorate any piece of apparel

First of all, though, the Bosom Button is a functional women’s accessory designed to minimize cleavage on low cut tops — a more chique alternative to double sided fashion tape. Off course, more info and info on where to get your own Bosom Buttons is on bosombutton.com!

Diamonds also have long been associated with purity and perfection. So, it doesn’t seem far-fetched for Victoria’s Secret to offer a line of fantasy diamond-encrusted bras that bring diamonds and lingerie together in one product. To get the same look without spending millions, just focus on bringing your feminine side to the forefront with diamonds.

Diamond Bra Tyra BanksLingerie makes a beautiful backdrop to diamonds. Just like a diamond engagement ring is displayed in velvet-backed boxes, you can offer your own body as the backdrop to display gorgeous pieces of jewelry and lingerie that accent your femininity. The intricacy and delicacy of lace is stunning next to the rainbow-sparkling coolness of diamonds. Ruffles, velvet, and satin lingerie are equally wonderful to wear with diamonds. They can provide not only a visual stimulation, but a very feminine sensual delight too.

Don’t be afraid to mix and match fabrics and jewelry accessories. You can use a diamond and pearl-studded choker for a very dramatic effect with night-time teddies. Feathers are a fun accessory that is very appropriate for lingerie and can add a bit of lightness and playfulness to the lingerie outfit. They also add a softness and peek-a-boo effect to the diamond jewelry you choose to wear with them. The trend towards bringing out the soft feminine virtues of Goddess beauty and perfection can bring a sense of playfulness and drama to your night-time trysts. If you want to make it even more fun, bring your partner along to help you pick out the lingerie and jewelry outfit you intend to wear later.
