The ranges includes Victoria Plum Tart, lilac silks and cheeky black frills. The Black Forrest Gateau of black silks is for a dark bewitching woman, whilst the Strawberry Fool is playful, frothy and fun, pale pink silk ruffles and hidden peek-a-boo panels.” Ma Mignonnette lingerie is not to be hidden, it is playful and bold. “Pieces are cut to enhance the female form at its best so that women fall in love with themselves before stepping out to seduce all in their sights as well.” Each piece is delicately crafted in Great Britain and available to purchase at Shanghai’s fashionable boutique The Villa.

Lucia Berutto lingerie and nightwear invokes nostalgia for the extravagant 1920s when gowns were worn whilst sipping champagne, listening to music and dancing with friends. Lucia Berutto will be opening their first store in Shanghai at the end of September.
