Oh, be still my beating heart. Just when I thought I'd had my fill of swooning over retro-inspired scanties after we showed those gorgeous For Luna swimsuits the other week, I stumbled across the beautiful wares of BannBee on Etsy. An independent lingerie label based in East London, every item is inspired by vintage shapes, designs and fabrics, handmade to order and, unlike numerous other retro-style underwear designers, the finished products actually come at an affordable price too. Like these 50-style high-waisted knickers with nude mesh, black piping and a black floral panel, which are only $30USD.
If you're a floral fanatic, then how these high-waisted rose print knickers, which are $23USD.
Or, embrace your inner Bet Lynch with these high-waisted leopard-print lovelies, complete with a saucy sheer ruched bottom and detachable suspender straps for keeping your stockings in place! They're $30USD, and since BannBee is based in the UK, shipping for all the above will only set you back a further $1.50USD. Bargain!
But they are so BIG.
ReplyDeleteIt kinda defeats the object of wearing stockings and suspenders if they're what's at the top...
ReplyDeleteBeyonce Why Don't You Love Me video. That's all I'm sayin'
ReplyDeleteYou could wear them as hotpants though! Like a can-can girl. Humph.
ReplyDeleteI love that you call them undercrackers, but I can imagine Bridget Jones' mother in them, and that's not an image I want in my head ever again...
ReplyDeleteI like them, Jane!
ReplyDeleteI think they're gorgeous. Love the fabrics!
ReplyDeleteI love them! definitely still sexy.... Bridget Jones is wrong :)
ReplyDeleteJesus Jane, they're HUGE!
ReplyDelete:D
I'm with Jane, I think they're fabulous. But then I am bias as I sell them in my shop. I'm especially loving the floral and nude panel ones.
