#lingeriechat 10th April – Swimwear

Saturday, April 16th, 2011

Gottex Jungle Fever

Welcome to this weeks summary of lingerie chat! The topic of this week’s lingerie chat was swimwear. This post is a summary of everything we chatted about:

Q1. Are you are bikini, swimsuit or tankini fan or do you buy a mixture?

@lunaraven13 and @PS_Lingerie liked tankinis.

@KristaTLP and @PlumsLingerie expressed a preference for bikinis.

Everyone agreed that the sort of suit depended upon the activity, though.

Q2. So bikini wearers, is there a specific style you prefer?

@PS_Lingerie began, “Not being a ‘wearer’ I’ll go by our customers – most want moulded cups and a brief, not triangles & string. “

@KristaTLP and @bratabased agreed that support was important.

@KristaTLP said, “Anything with support! I’m a big fan of the full cup brands that do swim – Freya, Fantasie, Panache. They make all kinds! I can never wear a traditional triangle, but they make ones that give the look.” (more…)

Nikki, Mumsie and Roy Post Shopping

Nikki, Mumsie and Roy - Post Shopping

No sooner has summer got into full swing it’s time to go shopping for next year.  So Mumsie and I packed our bags and headed to the big smoke.  This time it was swimwear, nightwear and very excitingly a new lingerie supplier.

First off we met with Roy from Alba who provide us with the fantastic Gideon Oberson and Gottex swimwear and Marjolaine nightwear.  After two 1/2 hours of us driving the poor man to distraction and having the delightful model Nikki try on a pethora of different bikini’s, swimsuits and silk nighties we came up with our order.  The first delivery of swimwear will dropping on our doorstep before Christmas.  Perfect if you are going away for a bit of winter sun.

Then it was back to the hotel to meet with the lovely Carole from Simone Perele to show us the new collection for next summer.  Lots of lovely pinks and lavenders, so pretty and fresh.  Good news for fans of Nina and Romance as they are both coming in new colours.  It’s always a pleasure hearing from Carole, we were her first new business when she became MD of Simone Perele and it’s fantastic to hear how well they are doing.

The final appointment of the day was to see if we were going to add a new brand to our little boutique.  The stunning Lise Charmel will soon be winging it’s way to us.  It’s a stunningly sexy range with fabulous waspies and suspender belts.  It will definitely be on my Christmas list.  Would love to know what you think.  As soon as I have all the images I will get them posted.
