The Story of an Elegant Lingerie Journey

In our test facility, we invite women to try out our bras and panties in unique situations and during everyday movements. We release collections to women who regularly run, go to the gym, and keep their bodies in constant motion.

This allows us to see how our lingerie withstands wear and tear, effectively transfers and dampens body energy, and how materials like silk, nylon, or lace perform under stress. We’ve tested our designs during mountain hikes, in gyms, on treadmills, and even asked women to run in high heels while wearing our bikinis to put our collection through literal stress tests.

In these extraordinary life situations, we observed how shaking nail polish could create strong energy waves in women with large breasts, subjecting a luxury handmade bra to significant stress. We tested how well the straps and clasps held up under such conditions.

We also engaged waitresses, hotel maids, and housewives—women who climb stairs frequently, handle bedding, and clean, putting their bodies in constant motion. Their lingerie must endure these movements.

What forces affect your bra when you suddenly sink into a comfortable sofa?

And what happens when, in a moment of passion, you slide your panties to the side or pull them off? Your panties and bra need to be ready, and garter belts face unique sensual challenges. Bras are often tugged, stretched, and tested when men playfully remove them, and the garter clips must securely hold the stockings in place.

In the late 1990s, I collaborated with Elizabeth, a French lingerie dealer who had once been the secretary to a wealthy merchant. Elizabeth traveled extensively, often bringing exclusive lingerie collections from Paris. Her employer, an affluent and passionate lingerie enthusiast, adored having Elizabeth present the latest collections and trends. Enchanted by the beauty and elegance of his secretary, he granted her a full-time position, assigning her the task of showcasing the French company’s products to major wholesalers. Through this connection, I gained access to premium materials, often those unused by top fashion brands due to rapidly changing trends. I acquired these high-quality fabrics at a significant discount through contacts in Paris and Milan, often from small family businesses. These materials, perfectly preserved in airtight packaging, have remained flawless for decades.

Elizabeth often asked me to accompany her to meetings because she needed an assistant. That’s when I first laid eyes on the delicate, elegant lace panties, silk bras, and garter belts she was selling to major department stores and luxury lingerie boutiques. This experience allowed me to observe and learn negotiation techniques firsthand.

Elizabeth was a bold, determined woman; her goal was always to sell as many collections as possible. We developed a unique approach: during presentations, either she or I would act as the mannequin. We would dress each other, showcasing different combinations of bras and panties, carefully curating and styling the outfits together. The visual presentations we created became the foundation for the store displays later set up by interior designers and window dressers. This collaborative strategy helped us successfully sell the lingerie collections, and it was through this process that I was introduced to the commercial side of the industry.

Elizabeth had a particular fondness for girdle and basque collections, appreciating their figure-shaping elegance. In contrast, I enjoyed blending modern designs with vintage cuts, creating unique, timeless looks. To complement these pieces, I paired them with skirts and blouses, which eventually allowed me to introduce my own private line into luxury department stores.

The journey continues through design, production, and testing. If you’d like to join us on this adventure, let’s collaborate! You’ll receive wonderful lingerie to test—just one condition: use it, take pictures, and share your insights about how well your bra and panties perform!
