Valentine’s Day at Liaison Dangereuse

February 19, 2008 by Mandolina

A couple of weeks into our boutique and things develop really well! Funny, how different products sell in each channel. The internet is definitely more specialist or more simple. It sounds contradictory but what we see is, that people seem to look either for the special stuff, that doesnt sell at every corner, or for brands they know well and trust, like Princesse tam tam. And then there are other really beautiful products that just don’t seem to get a foot off the ground. Whereas in the store, we suddenly sell brands that didnt sell at all over the net. But when people see these things and try them on, they are suddenly totally enthused and buy it.

Same for Valentines day. These sort of special occasions sell really well over the internet. A lot of men bought lingerie or little accessories over the last two weeks for their Valentine. In the boutique nobody seemed interested in our Valentines accessories. We don’t know why. By far our best selling items over the Internet in February were the gift boxes by Bijoux Indiscrets. But only during the past weeks. Men seemed to love the Agent Secret Set or the Regard Indiscret one. Probably it felt safe, they dont need to bother about such complicated things as cup sizes;-). And obviously they know that they benefit as well…

Bijoux Indiscrets is one of our discoveries coming back from SIL in Paris. Another one was S.P.A.N.K: Sexy Panties and Naughty Knickers. A brand we love. Totally cute bras and knickers fashioned in pure silk chiffon with a gorgeous design and wonderfully pastel colours. Perfect for spring! Its a new brand for us and for most of Germany, so we are really curious how it will sell. But judging from the first customer reactions, people seem to love it.

So, we wish you all a happy Valentine and dont forget to stop by at: www.liaison-dangereuse.com, there is always an occasion for lingerie 😉

Pudding – Reading’s first luxury lingerie salon

January 19, 2008 by Bert

Reading’s first luxury lingerie salon, Pudding, recently held its official launch party in The Walk, King Street, next to the Oracle. The party featured specially created Pudding cocktails, mini Pudding cakes , a fabulous catwalk show to unveil the Pudding collection as well as a charity prize draw in association with the Reading footballers’ wives’ ‘Royal Families’ charity.

Readers who have not yet heard about Pudding can be forgiven for thinking it’s an odd name for a lingerie shop! That’s because Pudding is far more than the average lingerie shop. Its owners, Helen and Paul Masters, describe it as ‘a luxury lingerie salon, where shopping should feel like a real treat…they want their customers to indulge!’

Their opening catwalk show featured an exclusive range of the world’s best brands, most of which are completely new to Reading. As Helen described, “Shoppers in Reading told us that they’d love to be able to treat themselves to world renowned luxury brands like Rigby and Peller, La Perla, Myla and Roberto Cavalli but until now that has meant a trip to Harrods or maybe an out of the way lingerie shop. There’s also a real demand for expert fitting and a wider size range than other high street stores offer – that’s where Pudding can help.”

Pudding was created to bring luxury lingerie to the high street for the first time and to offer a retail therapy treat for the woman who wants the best fitting and best looking bra , a divine pair of knickers or a stunning piece to wear on the beach that no-one else will have! Bras start at £32 so Pudding also have made luxury affordable to lots of shoppers.

Helen says she is very keen to encourage the women of Reading who haven’t been professionally fitted by a lingerie specialist to come and give it a go : ‘It’s free, fun and can instantly help you look half a stone slimmer and give you a trimmer waist . People often walk out of the salon wearing their new bra after a fitting because they love the change in shape it gives them so much that they don’t want to take it off!’ says Helen.

With more than 50% of Pudding’s research group admitting to having returned lingerie bought for them by their partner, Pudding also offers a tailored gift buying service for men, complete with gift buying advice; luxury gift wrapping and beautifully presented gift vouchers. As Paul, co-owner says “We also have a wish list that our customers can fill in to give some hints to their partner…so now there’s no excuses for buying dodgy gifts in the wrong colour or size!”

Sassy, Pretty, Alluring, Naughty Knickers!

July 3, 2007 by Krista

Looking for something new to fill your lingerie drawers? Try Sexy Panties and Naughty Knickers, a London based line by Pom Lampson, former British Vogue photographer, which recently debuted in the US this past spring. The collection is stylish and sexy, but also comfy. And isnâ€™t that what we are all looking for?

I find the womenâ€™s cotton boxer so playful, fun, and flirty. Made of 100% cotton and trimmed in lace, these cozy panties epitomize comfort. The simple bows on the side add an additional girly flair. Paired with the cotton vest, this set is perfect for a Sunday afternoon around the house.

The quintessential Sexy Panties and Naughty Knickers item, however, seems to be the Flirt thong.

Available in white, hot pink, and black, this thong features a delicate ruffle trim and flauntsÂ â€œS-P-A-N-Kâ€ on the back! The brief has the same features, but offers a little more coverage and is available in a few additional colors. This staple element can be paired with a variety of other items in the collection including the simple, silky sash vest or the Flirt bra.

TheÂ collection features many other celebrity favorite panties and knickers and even camis, nighties, and dressing gowns. Youâ€™ll have to check all of them out on the Sexy Panties and Naughty Knickers website. And larger busted ladies, never fear. While the Flirt bra may not meet your needs, the underwire bra is available in sizes through FF! And the gentlemen are not left out either. The menâ€™s cotton boxer (with silk lined fly) is an Orlando Bloom favorite!

So now you might be wondering, where can I get my hands on these? How can I experience the luxury that Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Moss, and Sienna Miller among others have enjoyed? Try the website or Figleaves (US or UK). There are also a number of stockists in the UK. In the US, SPANK is available at Barneys, Bendels, and La Petite Coquette. Check your local boutique as the collection is quickly infiltrating boutiques around the country!

Happy shopping!
