Roll on summer – thats what we are thinking this week. The days are starting to get lighter and we are longing for the time when we can put the jumpers back in the wardrobe and roll out the short sleeves! So in order to get us thinking of heady summer days and planning holidays to tropical climes we thought we’d profile Pistol Panties, a uniquely glamourous swimwear brand.
Pistol Panties – Glamourous Swimwear
Deborah Fleming is the British/Colombian designer behind swimwear brand Pistol Panties. She founded the brand with the concept of creating “uniquely designed, uniquely well-cut and uniquely glamorous swimwear” and that is exactly what she has achieved. We love the vibrant colourful prints and glamourous flattering cuts in the swimwear collections. There are bikinis, one pieces, beachwear and vintage jewellery and bags. Plus you can shop by shape which makes your whole online shopping experience that little bit more pleasurable.
The story of Pistol Panties began with an irresistible combination of vintage prints, quirky designs and Bond girl femininity, Deborah cut them in her kitchen herself and off she went to Selfridges who bought the lot! The starlet vibe and vintage fabrics of the original collections now form part of an eclectic range with added sophistication. From beautifully classic cuts to the latest trends, daring glamour to cute, quirky prints – a new variety of styles and shapes has developed that guarantees the perfect bikini for any girl. Browse the website to find your favourite pieces. To celebrate the launch of their fabulous new website, Pistol Panties is offering 50% off all swimwear until February 14th, so get shopping quickly!
To complement the swimwear; Pistol Panties stock beachwear to make your holiday outfit complete, with a range of cute ready to wear dresses and kaftans. Whilst vintage accessories are stocked so that your summer days are laden with vintage jewels and eclectic beach bags. The Spring Summer 13 range will launch on February 15th but make sure you take a look at the current collection available on the website.
Rather coincidentally LadyM’s favourite piece is the Raquel bikini. A gorgeous navy nautical rope detail bikini that will be perfect for days in the sun on the French Riviera.
Raquel Bikini & Farah Tribal Abstract One Piece
For a one piece at the beach club or by the pool we love the Farah Tribal Abstract One Piece. The fun and flirty Farah is a flattering strapless cut-out one piece. The cut-out shape accentuates the waist, whilst gold clasps at the back and side boning provide extra security and the print is bang on trend for the summer months.
Pistol Panties has stockists worldwide, including Selfridges, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Boutique 1 in Dubai, as well as numerous high-end boutiques. There is also a Pistol Panties flagship store is located in Notting Hill – a retro beach boutique inspired by 1950s resorts with a fresh, feminine vibe. Sights are firmly set on opening further stores in selected cities worldwide, so keep an eye out for more stores soon!
