Polish Lingerie: Sawren

May 16, 2008 by Rene

In this series, TLP will narrow our coverage of lingerie around the globe and focus on the country of Poland. Poland has a long history of textile manufacturing and since the collapse of the Soviet Union, Poland has been embracing market economies. Freed from quotas and mandated manufacturing, many Polish textile companies are stepping on to the world stage.

Sawren is the next stop on our tour of Polish lingerie. Sawren is typical of many of the lingerie shops profiled in this series. The offering is fairly broad and although the pieces are very lovely, it is hard to find a signature piece. Sawren does seem to have a signature colour or series of colours. Their line is speckled with very deep, dark colours like eggplant, ruby, darker lavendar, and silvers. Check out the thumbs at the end of the articles.

The site is available in English, Russian, and Polish. You can find the pieces online at various retailers including:

The company also has distribution through at least these companies:

Axami Lingerie

March 7, 2008 by Mandolina

Axami is another one of those labels we’ve never had on The Lingerie Post before. I discovered them on the Thongs and more Online website, and I’m actually quite intrigued by some of the pieces. They’re not cheap, but not really expensive either. I’m not sure where they’re at in the quality spectrum — but they look quite alright.

My favorites are the quarter cup bras and the exciting corsets. I don’t want to shock any of our regulars, so I only added two pics of the 1/4 cup bras, but there are quite a few more on the TAMO-site (check the bottom of the page!). It does look a little strange though: girly push-ups and ultra-sexy 1/4 cups and open crotch thongs from one and the same brand — but who cares, as long as they’re pretty! 🙂

Has anyone tried Axami? Any feedback? Let me know on the forums!

De Chelles Lingerie: Brazilian Passion!

December 6, 2007 by Mandolina

Another new Brazilian brand (expect our first Brazilian lingerie review soon!) for The Lingerie Post today: De Chelles! The label has been around for over 20 years in Brazil, but never really made it into the US (or Europe, for that matter). The De Chelles-people are however doing their best to get the brand out, and are finding retailers to help them!

As you can see in the high quality photos below — these pieces look stunning. When a few months ago people could have told me South-American lingerie was mostly low quality stuff, today, I’m convinced some of these labels are doing a great job in creating luxurious and sexy Southern lingerie that appeals to the market both in the US and in Europe. In my (very humble) opinion — De Chelles is such a label. The detail in the basques and the breathtaking babydoll are excellent — I’m sure these will do great everywhere!

Enjoy the photos! More info is on dechelles.com.br, online retailer Thongs and More has a few pieces available online (prices range from $36 for a thong up to $128 for a corset-style basque.
