Introducing the Eco Bra by Chantelle

by

Chantelle Eco BraChantelle is only a month away from releasing their new Eco Bra, aimed at all “green” lingerie lovers! This environmentally friendly lingerie is ecologically sound and helps anyone have a clear conscious while getting dressed! The line will be made from bamboo fibers, which is an ideal sustainable material because it needs no replanting, fertilizers, or pesticides. The fabric will be processed with the very minimim of chemical treatments while still being just as soft and comfortable as consumers expect from their underthings. Available at major department stores in the first week of August, the collection will include four bras, three briefs, and a camisole.

For anyone who cannot wait to get their hands on some bamboo lingerie, check out the Hanbroicon line at Figleaves.

Celebs try Chantelle Lingerie

Chantelle Gift Basket TonysThe celebs at the Tony Awards didn’t just enjoy themselves, they also got quite the interesting gift basket… Why is this relevant to The Lingerie Post? Well, the basket included a super-sexy Chantelle Africa set! Blogleaves mentioned Vanessa Williams amongst the bunch of A-list celebs getting the goodies, but there were quite a few more… 😉

Seeing as the celebs at the event could hand-pick their gifts, we’re guessing these also went for the Chantelle set:

  • Felicity Huffman
  • Cynthia Nixonvanessa williams chantelle tonys
  • Claire Danes
  • Anne Heche
  • Melina Kanakaredes
  • Idina Menzel
  • Naomi Watts
  • Bernadette Peters
  • Carla Gugino
  • Christina Applegate
  • And many many more…

The reps for Chantelle are now in possession of the bra sizes of all the celebs who came through. Is that looking forward marketing-wise? 😉 These are no bad names to have on your client-list now, are they?

Figleaves.com Lingerie Awards 2006

by

Figleaves.com’s holding its 2006 Lingerie Awards, and since I’m a sucker for awards I’m more than interested to give you girls my 3 favorites… If, after reading this post, you feel like voting, the link is right here! I won’t talk about all the categories, as some are quite irrelevant ;-).

Chantelle Lingerie Brand 20061. Best Lingerie Brand
Obviously the most important category, and just as obviously the most important one for me to pick a favorite in. However, I’m going for Chantelle as I have never ever had any bad piece of lingerie from the Chantelle house. A close second is Charnos because I enjoyed their Love Affair line that much. The Jacquard pieces are truely amazing, and I feel guilty for not having posted about them just yet (I’ll try to do that as soon as possible ;)).

2. Best cleavage bra
Gossard Superboost Satin padded plunge underwired braI don’t have very large breasts, so I’m don’t feel like I should be judging this category too strict… I asked some girlfriends with bigger boobs than mine, but they hadn’t tried many of the nominees. I went for the Gossard Superboost Satin padded plunge underwired bra because my friend Sheila told me the bra was great value for money. She snapped it up for $32, and couldn’t believe the quality she got in return…

Charnos3. New design talent
I went for personal favorite Raffi Orazi with Charnos, but I wouldn’t mind Susan Beischel from Skin snapping the award as well… Where Charnos is sexy quality, Skin is sober and basic quality. Both are top notch in their niche though, so both deserve a win here… I wasn’t too happy with the Lisi Valle’s collection… Go Charnos!

4. Best larger cup size brand
I’m only a C-cup! Stop confronting me! No no, just kidding ;-)… I picked Freya because of their sexy attitude. Big busted women have the ability to stun, Freya helps. 🙂

The results will be posted on FigLeaves.com on the 7th of november…. I hope I get 3 out of 4 ;-). Don’t forget to vote!

Chantelle Lingerie: An Introduction

by

Chantelle is a brand that needs no introduction to the true Lingerie-fanatic. For over 100 years (yes, 100!), this French company has been making high quality lingerie. The brand is now available all over the world, and is the favorite of many Hollywood actresses who are looking for comfort and class in their lingerie. Chantelle is not a slow lingerie house: over the years it has evolved to become a modern and hip brand, targetting all ages of women.

On their official website, Chantelle describes their brand as follows:

 “For more than 100 years, Chantelle has been dedicated to the art of creating great fitting, high quality intimate apparel, designed to enhance a woman’s beauty and self image.”

The photo’s listed here show what they mean: they want a sophisticated image, a high-quality reputation and they target women who can live that image. Chantelle isn’t trying to be the most sexy brand, they’re all about quality and comfort.

The price? Well, Chantelle is very affordable. With prices starting from about $50 for a bra, they are a lot cheaper than some other brands targetting the same market. Our conclusion? Good quality lingerie for a very reasonable price!
