Lavit Lingerie’s 2009 Eco Friendly Collection

June 20, 2009 by Mandolina

In this very competitive market, Lavit Lingerie has managed to stand out from the crowd with its unique designs and fabrics. Laura, Vivi and Tina – owners of Lavit – have created different pieces that are very comfortable and sexy.

In keeping with Lavit’s trademark of paying attention to even the smallest detail, Lavit is proud to announce the Hudson collection. Made out of bamboo, this simple yet comfortable collection was inspired by the beautiful Brazilian Flora and a desire to preserve our planet. The Hudson pieces come in a cute organic/raw cotton bag that can always be used to protect your undergarments. Lavit will donate two percent of the gross sales of the Hudson line to plant trees in the Brazilian rain forest.

Another range recently added is the Chantal Collection, which is made out of Italian tulle and adorned with lace details. It’s a very flirty and sexy collection, great for bridal occasions or a romantic weekend. Also new is Calista, made of very soft embroidered tulle.

The Rio collection continues to be a favorite among Lavit’s customers. This collection is available in an array of colors for spring/summer 2009: Ocean blue, Grass Green, Peach, Chocolate, Black, and Ivory. More info (and photos) available at lavitlingerie.com.

Yandy Launches Fine Lingerie Store

September 29, 2008 by Mandolina

TLP friends Yandy Lingerie are expanding and that’s excellent news for all the lingerie lovers on the web. This month, they’ve added a whole new section of fine lingerie to their already big (yet more budget-oriented) stock, and with this addition of labels such as Lola Luna, Bracli, Lavit & Cosabella, I’m sure they’ll be attracting a whole new kind of customer to their e-shop.

The current selection isn’t too large, but Yandy told us they’re working hard on expanding their fine lingerie selection.

Looking forward to seeing more labels make it to Yandy as I’m convinced they’ll try to fight the big e-retailers on the price-front. As with every Yandy purchace — there’s free Priority Shipping on U.S. Orders Over $70 from the fine lingerie boutique too!

Lavit Lingerie

April 13, 2008 by Mandolina

Lavit is a new lingerie label we’ve only discovered a couple weeks ago — but in order to be able to give you a good introduction, we had a little chat with the ladies behind this new brand to give you an inside view…

The concept behind our line was to create something sexy and beautiful yet comfortable and practical. We want every woman who wears our line to feel beautiful from the inside out. We have created designs that are very imaginative and sexy, using the best products and our fabrics are hand picked in Europe… We are three sisters that were born and raised in Mexico City. We have been living in the United States since 1983. Like many foreigners, we are trying to live the American dream. As you know, there is nothing harder than quitting your job to pursue your dream. But that is exactly what we did. To us, the American dream was to open our own business. So we all quit our jobs and worked really hard to develop a beautiful line of lingerie.

The lingerie bug bit the Baril family a couple generations ago already, too: “The idea came to us from our grandfather. He was an amazing man, he escaped from a concentration camp during WWII and ended up in Paris, France. At that time he started cutting lingerie in his mother’s kitchen and would sell the lingerie to Galleries Lafayette. […] Our grandfather helped us create our vision and sadly passed away in October of 2003. We remember how the Rabbi mentioned in his eulogy how our grandfather was the one who brought color to the textile industry in Mexico.”

The Lavit-girls had a vision and a plan — but were still missing a name. “One day while keeping our grandmother company, we were writing down names and we were going crazy because nothing seemed right. All of the sudden, our grandmother (who by the way barely said much and was very soft spoken), said to us: “How about Lavit?” Imagine us, our mouths were wide open, when she continued saying… it’s a little bit of the three of you…. Laura, Vivi and Tina. We knew at that point we had our name. We continued full steam ahead developing our line. Sadly, our grandmother died on August 7, 2004 from a broken heart. She never got to see our line!”

All we have to say is — the lingerie looks great! My personal favorite is this frivolous set in the photo below — but that lime green set…….. haha! Shopping at any of these stores! More info and photos on lavitlingerie.com.
