Playful Promises Lingerie Spring/Summer 2008

August 6, 2007 by Mandolina

Just got word from Emma Benham about the Playful Promises Spring Summer 2008 lingerie collection, called Doll Face. 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! 😉

Playful Promises @ Asos

I really don’t get Asos. 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 Â£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 😀 ), so who knows they’re planning to add more soon… 😉

Discount Playful Promises lingerie!

April 27, 2007 by Mandolina

We’ve mentioned the beautiful Playful Promises lingerie here before, and I made it my personal quest some time ago to keep on mentioning them on a regular basis; with or without a good reason to do so.

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 Â£3.99!

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

Playful Promises at La Magia

April 4, 2007 by Mandolina

I told you last week I have turned into a super-Playful Promises fan, right? Well, after browsing through some of my most favorite online boutiques, I found them at the great La Magia shop! Not only is that great news, when you check out the price tags (from Â£10 to Â£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!

Jaw-dropping Playful Promises

April 1, 2007 by Mandolina

Oh my goodness! 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!
