This fabric is now fully part of our daily lives. But do you know the history of lace?

A little history of lace:

It's no wonder to discover that lace originated in Italy near Venice, the city of love, over 400 years ago.

Initially used by men to adorn shirt collars and cuffs, it was Napoleon I who decided to reserve it for women's clothing in the 19th century. Strictly reserved for members of the royal family and the clergy, lace symbolized luxury and purity (totally different from its current connotation). Indeed, woven with threads of silk, cotton, linen but also sometimes gold and silver, lace is the fruit of painstaking hours of work.

Quickly, luxury and haute couture houses will seize this material.

Lace and lingerie, an eternal love story:

It was in the 19th century that lace and lingerie met. The origin of this perfect match: The industrial revolution and the rise of the women's underwear market. After several years and especially with technical innovations such as the invention of Nylon and Lycra fiber, lace lingerie is becoming more and more soft and comfortable.

It is in particular thanks to the fashion designer Chantal Thomass that lace lingerie owes its success. Indeed, in 1975 she was one of the first to create her brand with sexy and feminine collections.

Very quickly, all the brands of lingerie will be carried away by the wave of lace. It is now an essential for brands such as Icône Lingerie or Love Stories .

What everyone likes about lace is its transparent side which reveals while hiding the skin for a most glamorous result.

In addition, lace lingerie appears to be ideal for the well-being of your intimacy. Light and thin, it allows perfect breathability of the underwear to protect the body from perspiration and keep a feeling of freshness all day long.

We appreciate its discretion under clothing since the lace follows the shape of the body to leave no trace.

Or, we adopt the new trend and make it go beyond the collar of a sweater or a blazer for a sensual and feminine side.

You will have understood it, lace lingerie has totally won us over! If you want to please your lover for Valentine's Day or simply give yourself a little gift, we have made a selection of our favorite lace pieces for you.
