Update #12: It's December 17th

Posted on December 17, 2010

...and you may have noticed that we've yet to make any big announcements regarding the launch! Unfortunately that is because we haven't got a big announcement to make just yet! Due to sizing delays in production (plus the holidays) it's looking more like early January. There is good news however! The good news is we are working on a pre-sale and that you, beloved kickstarter friends, will be the first to hear about it! There is more good news but I'm going to be a bit of a tease about it and reveal it at a later date, hehe. I think you will like this one very much though!

On rewards, we received a few more returns in the mail last week, I'll be emailing you individually for an address confirmation!

      Oh my goodness, I am crazy about that piece that you are wearing!! I've never seen anything like it, beautiful!
      Also thank you for commenting on my blog a couple of days ago. You were my first and only comment so it meant so much :)
      Have a happy holiday season!

      You're very welcome (though really, I should be thanking you)!

      The piece I'm wearing is one of my favourites from the collection! So super flattering and only just a bit scandalous (not to mention bodacious on every size).

      Happy Holidays Amanda :D

Update #11: Trucking along!

Posted on December 3, 2010

Hi everybody!

It's been awhile since we've made a proper update and I know you're all waiting with bated breath to find out when the collection will be available! We've had a few expected unexpected delays. Our sewer assures us that we're looking at December 17th for completion, so keep your fingers crossed. It's been a wild journey but we couldn't be happier to be on it and have all of you to thank!

We're thinking of setting up a pre-order sale on our website, would that interest anybody?

Still collecting pictures of you with your rewards! I'll be making a post shortly with all of the submissions so get yours in soon!

The Loved One

Connected as Hannah Metz (970 friends)

Elvia met Hannah when she picked her up for work one day. They immediately got to chuckling, plotting future projects and eating bacon around Los Angeles. Last year Hannah moved across country and as they bid a tearful adieu they promised to start a business together doing what they love best - hunting for vintage clothing, getting incredibly dirty (and occasionally injured) and dreaming of glorious vintage lingerie. One year later they have almost fully achieved their dreams! They presently run a wholesale vintage business, a small online shop and, with your help, will be launching their first line of lingerie this autumn!
