Panty Cherie collection from Huit

It's finally happened - we have E-cup bras in stock! We recently received our Huit Fall shipment which contained the "Panty Cherie" set shown here.
The collection is made from a Lycra jacquard voile with a tiny floral motif. The bras in this group are feminine with their ruffle lace detail, but they aren't so over-the-top that you can't wear a sweater over it. This group is a step above what we consider 'basics' with its sweet detaling and style, and the fact that it is reasonably priced for a fashion group.
At Faire Frou Frou we are stocking the Half-Cup Bra which is available in 32-38 C, D, E and the Half-Cup Push-Up Bra in 32-38 B, C, D. Both styles have underwire support and NO padding. We also selected the matching Thong and Boxer Shorts (shown) to go with the bras. These pieces really make a cute set...check them out on our online store now!

Knickersblog Post: Where Can I Get Dita von Teese's Famous "Cherry Picture" bra?

THIS IS FROM THE 9/24/07 POST on www.knickersblog.com:

This edition of Ask Knickers, we’re trying to help out a reader who has excellent taste. Here’s her question:

The Question

Hello,
I think you guys at the Knickers blog might be just the right resource for a hard-to-answer question I’ve got. I’ve had a very difficult time determining where I can get the bra worn by Dita Von Teese in this photo:

Faire Frou Frou

On the other side of the pond, LA boutique Faire Frou Frou has some more colourful Dita-esque options. The sweet-as-pie plaid bra (pictured above, left) is from Betsey Johnson, and is available in limited sizes for just $49. For something a bit wilder, turn to the Italians and Parah - this zebra print (pictured above, right) is sexy, but the exaggerated lace trim adds a retro twist to the style. The Parah bra is $145 and only available in B.

Absolutely Beautiful Things post!

We are so excited to be part of the Absolutely Beautiful Things blog this morning! Check out the post by clicking their logo or here.
Though this isn't a lingerie blog, ABT is a "daily inspiration journal" for interior design. On several occasions blog writer Anna had mentioned the antique/furniture store Bountiful, which is where we purchased most of our antiques at Faire Frou Frou. We wrote to Anna because we wanted to show how antiques & interior design worked its way into a lingerie store. Most of the furniture in our store such as the counter, tables, armoire, mirrors and storage cabinet were purchased at Bountiful, which is a Venice, CA paradise that was created by Sue Balmforth nearly 20 years ago. It really is the combination of the beautiful antiques and designer lingerie that make Faire Frou Frou a special destination. The rest of our furnishings were either custom-made or purchased during our travels to Europe.
ABT blog writer Anna owns an interior design boutique in Australia called Black & Spiro. She is a young woman who runs a successful business and her ABT blog is one of the TOP 10k blogs on the internet (out of 107 million blogs being tracked)! Make Absolutely Beautiful Things one of your favorites!
Just an FYI, almost all antiques on display at Faire Frou Frou are available for purchase...so feel free to contact us if you're interested! (info@fairefroufrou.com or tel: 818-783-4970).

Fifi Chachnil teams up with Maison Lavabre Cadet

We recently received our Fall/Winter Fifi Chachnil shipment, and were pleased to see our long-awaited accessory; beautiful hand-crafted leather gloves! Though we posted about this piece a few months ago, we did not elaborate on what makes these gloves such a work of art. Fifi Chachnil, the queen of French lingerie, teamed up with Maison Lavabre Cadet, the world's foremost leather glove craftsmen. For over 60 years, Maison Lavabre Cadet has been covering the hands of the elite, based out of the French city of Millau which is known as the historic capital of leather gloves. They specialize in made-to-measure pieces that are handcut from precious skins, mink, ostrich, and crocodile.
At Faire Frou Frou, we are proud to represent a small part of the history of Lavabre Cadet, and simply love the scalloped edges, beautiful stitching and tiny pearl buttons on the gloves in our boutique. We have read that Maison Lavabre Cadet only partners with the most esteemed designers for their collaborations, so that says a lot about the talents and reputation of Fifi Chachnil!
We have included an extra press image (of Christina Aguilera) of Fifi Chachnil's lingerie so you get a sample of Fifi's design style/look.
