Several years ago a friend told me a story about the Lise Charmel bridal bra she gave to her brother’s fiancé to wear beneath her wedding gown. It was a delicate design embellished with exquisite Leavers lace, a symbol of “something new” and a much appreciated treasure. But it was several months later, while visiting her sister in law that she happened into her bedroom and found the bra showcased in an elegant glass box mounted on the wall that she understood the meaning of her gift. Already world renown as a purveyor of luxury lingerie easily equated to intimate art, the Lise Charmel bridal pieces are designed to convey the same sense of self-worth and expectation that any bride seeks on her wedding day. Every piece of their Romantique Desir collection is a possible keepsake, something old, borrowed or true.
