Nobody does girly lingerie like Delphine Véron.
Think baby-doll dresses in soft candy colours,
G-strings with feathery pom-poms at the hips, lush
red bras with cute little bows — all guaranteed to
summon up the
femme fatale
in every woman. Just
browsing in this sugary pink boudoir is fun.

initials or a message. Each order will comprise a year's
supply of a unique product, albeit at a handsome
price. There's also a range of ready-to-wear cosmetics
