It all began in 1880, in the town of Hameln on the river Weser, Johann Popken founded the Popken Textile company. Decades later in 1960, his son Karl Friedrich Popken, suffering from ill-health was forced to lease the company out on a long-term basis. His son and successor, Friedrich Popken, was only 20 at the time. By 1968, Friedrich Popken, now happily married and father to a young daughter, had opened his first store in Oldenburg called “Mami & Baby” with his wife Ursula, specialising in maternity and baby wear.

Friedrich Popken had watched an employee pack more than 15 maternity items to be sent to a mail order customer. This led him to ask the employee why a pregnant woman would order so many items. The answer was unexpected

“ This customer isn’t pregnant. She orders regularly and has written to us explaining that she can’t find young fashion in a size 22, the size she needs. She orders from us because our maternity fashion is not only young, but also comfortable.” A niche in the market for “young fashion in plus sizes” was discovered and, in 1986, extensive and carefully planned tests were carried out over the mail order channel.

The results exceeded all expectations, and the company “Ulla Popken,Young Fashion Starting at size 16” was registered on the 1st of March 1987.

At Ulla Popken , every women can find the fashion which suits her - and that has been the case for the last 20 years.

The bourgeoning eroticism of 18th century literature was inspired by curiosity and imagination. “Bijoux Indiscrets”, a novel by Denis Diderot was published during the searching time.  A magic ring reveals a world full of eroticism and fantasy to the characters in the novel.

Bijoux Indiscrets is an invitation to discover a sensual surprise. It offers a provocative combination of eroticism and sophstication for lovers, a combination beyond dimensions. Ideas, scents, tastes, sounds and sensations form a subtle blend, suggesting unique experiences and unforgettable moments.

” The main function of the underwear we choose every morning is to turn us into a good mood.
It is linked to our personal imagination and can be either excessive or sweet.
It can express a natural frivolity that deals with insolence and lightness ” Fifi Chachnil

Choosing what Fifi Chachnil designs means you want to see ” la vie en rose” and to think you are pretty just as you are, wearing proudly and humorously your lightness and your femininity. For a glamorous and tender atmosphere, that alludes to the sentimental and poetic typical Parisian girl.

The online lingerie boutique currently features the following lines: the beachwear line, the classic “charmeuse”, the dotted tulle, the silk chiffon. (I hope to update the collections with photos soon, so stay tuned)

Fifi’s bio, more about her lingerie line, interviews and her French story are available on her personal website.

Miss Mandalay is every fashion conscious women with big boobs who’s always wanted to wear sexy & luxurious lingerie that actually fits! Miss Mandalay lingerie launched in February 2005. Lorraine Morton is the creator of Miss Mandalay and it was the personal requirements of her and her close friends that led to the birth of the brand.

Each Miss Mandalay bra is crafted for women blessed with a larger than average bust. Unlike other brands that offer larger cup sizes, Miss Mandalay is unique in that it offers directional, high fashion styling, something that hasn’t before been associated with DD+ bra sizes.

“I’ve always been told how lucky I am to have been naturally blessed with a larger than average bosom (to be precise I’m a 30f). But as every woman with big boobs knows, it’s virtually impossible to find a stylish, glamorous bra in your size. The lack of choice means we’re left to buy another ‘everyday bra’ or an ill-fitting bra in a larger cup size; the kind of thing that the big brands offer as ‘token’ sizes in their usual b - d cup size range.

Miss Mandalay offers a lingerie solution to every big boobed woman who is fed up with walking out of a lingerie boutique after been told that every luxury bra they stock doesn’t come any bigger than a d cup” Lorraine Morton

After having studied in fashion design and production, Sheffield born designer, Andrea Billard rounded her skills by designing a broad spectrum of products before specialising in sportswear. During this time, she also briefly designed and produced an exclusive capsule collection for an independent ladieswear boutique.

In the Autumn of 2006, Andrea felt she needed a new direction and decided to create her own lingerie brand. As she had limited experience of designing lingerie, she embraced the challenge and set about furthering her knowledge.

The brand has created three limited edition collections - Evangeline, Jezebel & Virgin Queen, as a taster before the launch of the Spring/Summer 2009 collection – ‘Paris’. A fourth limited edition, ‘One mistress, No Master…’ will be available in August 2009.

Andrea Billard lingerie brand mixes strong femininity with subtle sexuality, appealing to those with a love of luxury and innovative designs.
