Liaison Dangereuse: a new e-boutique

July 26, 2007 by Mandolina

Liaison Dangereuse is a brand new online lingerie boutique — and even though they’re currently only available in German, they’re very much worth getting some attention on our blog seeing as they have an excellent brand selection and they’re planning on translating their website in the next few months…

Brand Selection
The brand selection is awesome: Chantal Thomass, I.D. Sarrieri, Moontide, Princesse Tam Tam, Mimi Holliday, Pleasure State and Elise Aucouturier — all luxurious, high quality brands that aren’t always easy to find on the net. They’ll be adding Madame V to that list in august — something we can only applaud!

Pricing
This is Euro-pricing and even though that’s my home currency I’m not too used to comparing prices in Euro. After doing some calculating the prices look competitive, though! Don’t expect cheap — these pieces just aren’t. 😉

Some teasers
Enjoy these pretty photos — some of my favorites at Liaison Dangereuse.

Check them out — and let us know if you buy something, we’re always interested in knowing how the shopping experience is at new shops!

Elise Aucouturier French Nighties

April 21, 2007 by Mandolina

Designer Elise Raphalen launched the Elise Aucouturier label back in 2001 after deciding it was time for her to take her work to the next level. She had been working for Vanity Fair and Christian Dior before, so she didn’t miss the designing experience or the confidence to start her own collections…

Ever since 2001, Elise Aucouturier has been quite successful both in France and in the rest of Europe. In the last few years the brand has also been making it across the ocean. Today, the best place for Americans to shop Elise Aucouturier is a la Mod Body — Susan Rohr’s online lingerie boutique filled with Euro-lingerie… and nighties!

That’s probably what Elise Raphalen is best at: beautiful high end sleepwear. I adore this $275 Miss Tara sleep dress — a cotton chemise-style nightie outlined in sheer dot tulle and this $240 silk Miss Emma sleep dress. Pretty? Yes. Value for money? I’m not too sure. I’m not saying these pieces aren’t high quality, I’ve tried some Elise Aucouturier nighties on myself and they all feel really well-constructed, but they are missing that little extra in my opinion…

Anyway, want to see more? Check out the a la Mod Body website!
