Guia la Bruna Private Notes 100% Silk Camisole

October 3, 2006 by Mandolina

Oh my goodness. Just a few minutes ago I fell in love with this amazing Guia la Bruna Camisole:

Doesn’t it look glamourous? I simply love it. Guia la Bruna is a great brand, so I can be 100% sure of top-quality lingerie when snapping it up from glamorousamorous.com for $413.35. That’s the only downside I can really see when talking about this amazing piece of lingerie: the price tag.

Glamorousamorous.com advertises the set as follows:

“Delicate 100% silk dreamy camisole. Beautiful and luxurious, sequin’s catch the light and sparkle. Fine white lace detail and elegant purple ribbon. All Guia La Bruna lingerie is presented in a special bespoke Guia La Bruna lingerie gift box.”

Paying over $400 for a camisole isn’t something I do on a weekly basis. I am considering this one though, because it’s simply that beautiful. If you have a big budget: don’t hesitate!

Marie Jo lingerie online shopping!

October 2, 2006 by Mandolina

Alright, I posted earlier on that Marie Jo isn’t available in e-shops, well, I was wrong! Browsing the web, I found a belgian lingerie-store that’s actually shipping Marie Jo Lingerie all over the globe. That way, even our American readers can actually get their hand on this amazing top-quality European lingerie brand.

Where can you get this stuff? Lingerie Valentijn (translated: Valentine Lingerie), located in Merchtem, Belgium. Their website has a very intuitive e-shop with Marie Jo lingerie at very reasonable pricing. If you want more information, I’m sure you can contact the people at Lingerie Valentijn with your personal inquiries…

Oh, we at The Lingerie Post are not affiliated to any shop. We just want to inform, please keep that in mind ;-)!

H&M Lingerie: Introduction

October 2, 2006 by Mandolina

H&M doesn’t need an introduction. A global player on the confection market, targetting young and budget-minded shoppers with low-priced fashion, H&M is also a lingerie / underwear store. Yes, they’re not known for their A-brand quality underwear, but it’s too easy to judge them just on their reputation, no? Right….

I’ve bought quite a lot of H&M underwear, and I was never dissapointed. Why? You get what you pay for… If you pay $15 for a bra and $8 for a thong, you can’t expect to wear them for two years… You don’t get A-brand comfort, you don’t get A-brand quality, but if you pick right, you get a nice looking, very cheap lingerie set, to match a shirt you wear once a month… You won’t have the most comfy bra on, but it’ll look good…. What more can you expect for low-low prices?

Most of you will know what the H&M lingerie looks like, so I won’t be posting photo’s on this one. All I can say is: give them a chance, but remember: you get what you pay for, so don’t expect top quality. Select on looks only!

Le Caprice de Marie: Introduction

October 2, 2006 by Mandolina

Le Caprice de Marie isn’t the most famous lingerie brand. They are however extremely popular with young and fashionable women, and my goal in this introduction is to make sure you understand why. The photo’s I’ll be posting (mostly from the Le Caprice de Marie catwalk show for this autumn and winter -2006) will probably speak for themselves, but some background information never hurt anyone, right?

First of all, Le Caprice de Marie doesn’t seem to have an official website anymore. Lecapricedemarie.com used to work, but for some reason it isn’t anymore. Too bad, but I’m sure they’re working on it…

Would you like to see some photo’s? Sure, here they come:

As you can see, Le Caprice de Marie is all about frivolous and girly lingerie. Their underwear is high quality, and very, very sexy. It’s available in some online stores, and prices start at about $50 and go up to a couple of hundred. All in all good value for money for this sexy lingerie brand.

Chantelle Lingerie: An Introduction

October 2, 2006 by Mandolina

Chantelle is a brand that needs no introduction to the true Lingerie-fanatic. For over 100 years (yes, 100!), this French company has been making high quality lingerie. The brand is now available all over the world, and is the favorite of many Hollywood actresses who are looking for comfort and class in their lingerie. Chantelle is not a slow lingerie house: over the years it has evolved to become a modern and hip brand, targetting all ages of women.

On their official website, Chantelle describes their brand as follows:

Â “For more than 100 years, Chantelle has been dedicated to the art of creating great fitting, high quality intimate apparel, designed to enhance a woman’s beauty and self image.”

The photo’s listed here show what they mean: they want a sophisticated image, a high-quality reputation and they target women who can live that image. Chantelle isn’t trying to be the most sexy brand, they’re all about quality and comfort.

The price? Well, Chantelle is very affordable. With prices starting from about $50 for a bra, they are a lot cheaper than some other brands targetting the same market. Our conclusion? Good quality lingerie for a very reasonable price!
