The most beautiful lingerie and swimwear in the world...
Luxurious Italian swimwear by Ritratti Milano. I’ve expressed my love for Ritratti on more than one occasion, and I’m equally impressed with this lovely swimwear line — the photography; not so much. 🙂
Make up your own mind!
More on the Ritratti beachwear collection in Beachwear.cc‘s original post – thanks to them!
Just got a big shipment of high resolution photos from Ritratti’s latest Spring/Summer collection in my mailbox — and obviously I’m here to not only share, but also show you my own little favorites from the SS08 collection of last year’s “designer of the year” winner at the Salon International de la Lingerie. 😀
Overall, loving it. The luxury designer has done some great bra and panties sets — but I’m simply adoring the more decadent pieces; the lavender camisole, the sheer robe, the sheer lace top, the babydoll and the breathtaking white dress. They’re true highlights of a great collection! They’re trying to retain their “designer of the year” trophy at the Salon International de la Lingerie in Paris this week, I’m sure!
I’m sure you’re loving these as much as I am. 🙂
The Ritratti website isn’t the most high-tech one (their pics are), but they do have some goodies, so it’s worth checking out. On a swimwear note // beachwear.cc has all their bikinis and swimsuits for 2008 on display! 😉
Ritratti’s luxurious lingerie and loungewear has always been something amongst my personal favorites, and even though they’re not the easiest label to get your hands on, I truly believe Ritratti has what it takes to make it in the high end of the market spectrum, if they get their products out…
Now, that’s really where things go wrong.
Their website is an Italian-only little corporate info page, with links to collection photos in pdf files, and hardly any real eyecatchers… Why? I don’t know — but their luxurious pieces are not reflected in their somewhat unexistant PR-approach…
Luckily, we’re all about the lingerie, so we look beyond the mediocre promotion… Take a look at these beautiful photos (sorry, the quality is mediocre — don’t blame me!) of these excellent camis, balconettes and babydolls… enjoy!
Nancy Meyer is one of the bigger online luxury lingerie retailers, and off course that means them updating their entire website is news to us. So — today we take a look at the new Nancy Meyer website, and the improvements they’ve made! 🙂
First off all, they’ve kept the central position the designers have on their website. It’s super easy to browse through excellent labels such as La Perla, Eres, Wolford, Araks, Andres Sarda, Jean Yu, Janet Reger, John Galliano, Poet and many more! Again, that’s still Nancy Meyer’s strong point: the brands.
They have made searching their site a little easier.
About a month ago, when they added the new I.D. Sarrieri, it took about a week for the items to appear in their searches — now, all seems to be working, even the latest collections. That’s so important, so well done! 😉
The most prominent update is the design. The website is even more pretty now, and still have that signature classy look. I enjoyed the simplicity of the Nancy Meyer website before — but browsing has only become simpler.
Check it out — and happy shopping! 😉 😀
Luxury retailer Nancy Meyer is having their semi-annual sale, with designer lingerie by some of my own personal favorites at 40% to 70% off. I hope you don’t mind me zooming in on some decadent pieces I will never be able to buy myself… The more realistic readers can check out all of the sale items right here! 😉
1. Andres Sarda: Mink Halter & Thong set
An absolutely fabulous set with a lightly padded mink lined silk halter top (for B- or C-cups) and a sexy silk thong made in Spain. The original price tag is a hefty $915, it’s now down to… $458. Yes, you save over $450 on a lingerie set. 😉 If you’re one of the lucky few: enjoy!
2. La Perla: Aniela Strapless Bustier
A superb sultry strapless corset-style bustier with pretty boning. Absolutely gorgeous and luxurious. The Nancy Meyer people say: “Cinematographic allure; flaunted and sophisticated screen-star luxury.”. It seems like screen-star luxury isn’t cheap: the bustier is down from $496 to $347.
3. Ritratti: Splendore Couture Bra & Thong
The set contains the Splendore Couture Demi-Cup Bra and the Splendore Couture String Thong. The bra is one of the most spectacular demi cups I’ve ever seen: romantic touch, beautiful swarovski detail, floral cut-out embroidery and the perfect “let’s put these babies on a lovely shelf and flaunt them”-allure. I love it. Too bad the bra is still good for a gigantic $298 hole in the purse, $111 for the matching thong. The set is down from $536.
Two sets, one bustier. A total discount of over $700. This is discouraging… 😉
