The Best-Kept Secret in Lingerie: Courtworth (aka Worth)

Just like some of our brands such as Vannina Vesperini & Carine Gilson, it isn't too often that you come across a luxury lingerie line like Courtworth Paris.
We are proud and incredibly excited to announce the debut of the French lingerie line at Faire Frou Frou!
As you can see, this is quite a beautiful line that specializes in the use of lace, and the bras and bustiers make great layering pieces.
Courtworth, known as Worth in Europe (due to copyright or corporate name issues in the U.S.) is a luxury lingerie line from Paris, France with pieces hand-made in Italy. It is crafted using the same techniques as those used to make the line during the late 19th Century! Many hours of work goes into each piece, which often includes 45 manual operations from start to finish. The result is a collection that is exquisite and unique.
We will be carrying the Spring/Summer AND Fall/Winter collections from Courtworth this year.
You can shop for any of these looks right now at Faire Frou Frou!
We have posted images of some of the items we just received...they are actually more beautiful in person!!!!! Each piece comes with its own sheer black mesh lingerie bag that has a little black bow closure, which is so cute and very upscale looking. We are thoroughly impressed!!!!

more Vannina Vesperini!

Here are a few more pictures from the new Vannina Vesperini campaign! See the previous post for more details!
We have a few Vannina Vesperini pieces from her previous collections online...check them out!

Vannina Vesperini - you saw it here first!

We are happy to announce the launch of Vannina Vesperini's new and improved website!
A few weeks back we mentioned having seen the new Fall 2007 collection, and now you can preview it online!
Attached are 2 images from her new campaign, with amazing photographs featuring French actress Roxane Mesquida and photographed by famed photographer Sonia Sieff.
One of our favorite pieces from the group (which we ordered for ourselves!) is shown in the 'Press' section under the WWD article. It's the gorgeous silk chiffon leopard night dress that will make your jaw drop - you need to see it in person; the way it flows and drapes when you move. Another favorite is shown in the very amateur photo below...the peach satin silk gown. It's also stunning, and comes with a removable pearl brooch. We have more personal photos of the collection, and will post more in the up-coming months (we don't want to spoil all of the surprises!).
We would like to proudly mention that Faire Frou Frou is one of the first U.S. boutiques to carry the line (we started ordering from Vannina before we opened in 2003).

Shop Scouting Worldwide - The Book

We finally received our copy of "Shop Scouting Worldwide The Book" (whew, long title!), and our favorite section of the book are pgs 140-141 which feature Faire Frou Frou!!
Faire Frou Frou was selected as one of the Best of Intima (Best European Flair) boutiques for 2006-2007, and if that honor was not enough, we were selected to be part of the Shop Scouting Worldwide hardcover book.
In addition to our 2-page spread, there are 99 other lingerie boutiques from around the world featured in the book. The book is broken down by category: Concept lingerie store, Reference Shop, Personal Touch Shop (that's us!), and Brand Name Shop (such as Madame V and Chantal Thomass).
This is a great book, particularly for those looking to open up their own boutique...you can learn from the best in the business!
This special edition 200-page book is currently available for sale, and can be purchased directly from the publisher in Milan at www.networkdessous.com. We believe the book is priced at either $45 or 45 euros... The book is translated into English, Italian and French!
