Italian Lingerie Beginners Guide
Lingerie from Italy
Italy is one of the world's best producers of lingerie thanks to its long relationship with silk and other fine fabrics. With the country having one of the world's most innovative fashion industries, Italy has unsurprisingly created some of the best lingerie in the world and some of the most respected brands.
Brands such as Intimissimi and La Perla are popular all around the world for their high quality products and items that 
appeal to the modern woman, not just for their glamorous design but also for their comfort and feel.
Italian lingerie has always presented itself as making a woman feel 'more like a woman' and the number of brands that have developed to create the latest in alluring undergarments, shows how popular this mindset is.
There is also an incredible range of products rather than just the standard underwear and bra combinations. Cuori Infranti, Vera Donna Italy and Cosabella for example, all specialise in the traditional two piece sets, but also in corsets, bustiers and silk nightwear.
Italy has also produced some of the leading designers in today's lingerie producing industry, such as Guia la Bruna and Flora Lastriaolli. Guia, is from a long line of designers with her grandfather starting a business in 1935. Her items have become so popular, she even featured on the hit show Sex and the City where her world famous lingerie got a popular reaction.
Flora Lastraioli is another family company with a rich fashion history - the family's great grand mother even acted as the official embroideress to the grand duke Leopoldo of Tuscany. The company is famed for their collection of silk and satin items that are popular all over the continent as well as Italy.
