At first glance these exquisite lingerie pieces, all handcrafted in Jane’s atelier in the English countryside, might make you think of the traditional wedding trousseau.

The Tutti Rouge collection is a candy land of delicious intimates in multiple colors that satisfy a taste for fun, fanciful and frilly underwear.
