More from Hopeless

A few weeks ago, I posted about the lingerie designer, Hopeless, who debuted a really amazing black and white collection on Etsy a few months ago.

Well, while surfing my favorite lingerie blogs, I found out via KnickersBlog.com that she’s come out with another collection, this one composed of pastel pinks and graphic blacks with deep pink accents. It has a very Art Deco feel to me.

Still no picture posting capability on my end, but please, please, please go to her Etsy store or to KnickersBlog and check out the new pieces. They make me swoon. If you can, support independent artisans, and buy something from her. Goodness knows I’d prefer that garter belt over anything from Agent Provocateur anyday.

Italian hosiery: Calzedonia

I saw Calzedonia stores on practically every street corner while I was in Italy. They’re basically a stockings superstore, and come out with new hosiery collections every season which mirror the trends on the runway (for example, this winter they have tartan tights). Just go to their website and drool.

Just in time for Christmas.

Rago has released new pink/black and red/black colorways of their classic lace open bottom girdle and lace corselette. See Girdlebound for more details.

Charnos just made some limited edition additions to their vintage inspired Hourglass collection. Instead of all black satin like before, these are black satin with lace front panels.

Available from Sheer Nylons (a UK-based company) the collection contains a padded bra, waist nipper, and corselette. Sheer Nylons also still has items available from Kiss Me Deadly’s discontinued Sirena, Mae, Lili, and Alouette lines. International shipping to countries outside Europe is £ 10.00 for orders up to £ 100.00 and free for orders higher than that.

Happy Shopping.
