Dear Damaris...

Dear Damaris...
i have been a very naughty girl & deserve only the best luxurious lingerie from Bordello Boutique to fill my christmas stocking this year. Heres a little list of the Damaris that i hope will be waiting under my Christmas tree for me...




The first item on my wish list is the beautiful Midnight blue silk bra. I fell in love with the incredibly smooth silk & the deep plunge shape. I must say when i tried it on i was surprised... i have never experienced underwear that could really make your eye colour pop but this bra did just that! The colour is the perfect deep shade of navy blue & feels as smooth  against your skin as it looks. I also love the combination of the contrasting velvet fabric back strap with horseshoe.




Or maybe your black lace corset which would perfectly shape up my winter wardrobe.  The black chain lace make this piece fantastically empowering and provocatively luxurious. Worn with the black lace detailed cut out back briefs. This season it has been all about our beautiful bottoms but this pair of panties take it to a new level with the panels of chain lace.




The last thing on my Damaris wish list is the black lace tie bandeau bra & matching thong with double side strap. As a thong fanatic (i wear a lot of tight jeans!) i find it hard to come across good  thin strapped thongs but this skinny black thong has hit the nail on the head. The double thin ruched side straps add a quirky twist to the incredibly delicate black lace detailing & everything about the thong screams sexy! The black bandeau itself is all about the intricate lace detailing & the sheerness of the lace. The combination of the super soft sheer lace fabric that exposes your nipples & the lace up tie back transforms this bandeau into a very sexy piece. Not just your ordinary black Bandeau & Thong...

Wishin You A Merry Dani Christmas



 As cliched as this may sound, every day is like Christmas at Bordello Boutique. When the postman comes bounding through our double red doors i know that in that big box held between his strong tanned & toned ( i wish...) arms is a whole new set of beautiful lingerie waiting to be explored. Ironically I am not a fan of receiving presents at Christmas although giving is a whole different story. But I’m not writing about my Christmas receiving dilemma; rather about last weeks new Dani Read delivery...
I hope that by now you are all well aware of our new favorite New York girl Dani Read & her Fuck You Industries attitude. Although she may be new onto the London scene, we are embracing her bad girl lingerie with arms wide open, so when our jolly postman popped in last week with the new Dani Read parcel we were like kids in a candy store as we hurriedly opened up the box of Bordello exclusive goodies. Yes, EXCLUSIVE ! Excited, well that would be a complete understatement..
This Winter 2011 Dani Read has created exclusive cherry red silk Gun Knickers just for us. We have affectionately named them The Hoxton Brief, and frankly she's gonna have to make some more!  These knickers are so foxy & there is something dangerously sexy about the double printed hand guns printed across the arse! Yes, the Hoxton Briefs are here to stay .. havent got yours yet well?  you better put your name on the waiting list for next year or run to store quick as these will sell out. 
If that wasnt enough, the Dani Read Leg Harness, made of soft oxblood red (yes thats right, RED!) leather is to die for ! hahaha! these gun holster belts could be worn as both underwear or outerwear as we discovered whilst playing with them in the shop. All i can say is that i am definitely writing Father Christmas a very big letter this year...




I hope you've been naughty this year because all the city bad girls will be sporting out Dani Read’s exclusives this christmas....

My Week With What Katie Did Lingerie...

It seems everywhere i look that the newspapers have been full of praising reviews of the latest film ‘My week with Marilyn’...  I'm not here to give you a film review as i am sure the papers can do a better job at that! although I do have to say Michelle Williams did capture Marilyn Monroe's character with extraordinary likeness! But  rather it's the 1950’s clothing  & beautiful What Kate Did lingerie,  which filled the big screen, that has grabbed my attention. The style team turned to the signature 1950’s lingerie company ‘What Katie Did’ for the 1950s iconic styles such as the spiral stitch, bullet bras & body-shaping corselettes which both featured in the film.

At Bordello, we agree that, the right lingerie is an essential part of getting an authentic 1950s look. The popular Bullet bras were worn to push the breasts into a conical shape and no respectable woman would go without her girdle. What Katie Did, founded by designer Katie Halford, have been manufacturing vintage style lingerie since 1999 & their pieces are frequently used in retro movie & television projects as well as cutting edge fashion magazines.





Admittedly i have always been slightly skeptical of the 1950’s style Bullet Bras, however my opinion is being swayed with the amount of happy customers, drawn into the shop by the Marilyn Monroe inspired window display, strutting out of the Bordello fitting room with a big grin on their face & a Bullet bra in hand!



So if your a die hard Monroe fan, or just a 50's girl, head down to Bordello Boutique & glam yourself from head to toe in our What Kate Did Harlow Bullet bra & Glamour Corselette to our seamed back stockings...
