Daylight Robbery: The £100 bloomers
OK, is anyone else just seeing a pair of reasonably plain black knickers here? And, ok, they're silk, but still… doesn't really make us want to pay £100/ $144 for them.
And yet, these are sold out at Net-a-Porter, so it seems we have a mystery on our hands: The Mystery of the Expensive-Yet-Ordinary Bloomers.
Can you help us solve it, readers? Can you enlighten us as to why these might be worth paying £100 for? We'd love to be able to close this case…
How exactly do you wear these? They seem kinda too fluffy to be worn underneath anything.
Well there we go, they are not knickers, they are sheer short-shorts!
well if i may play devil’s advocate, i can see the attraction to these. they offer full coverage for comforts sake but they’re still sheer and sexy in a kinky lil’ bo peep way. Under a nice structured tweed skirt, These would be very pleasant, I think.
They remind me of the disposable knickers you’re given when you go for a surgical procedure, so perhaps they’re sterile, for the very rich and fashion-conscious. (They probably come with a matching backless shress…)
The attraction is you can’t find them anywhere else!
Looks like something Katy Perry would wear.
I love expensive lingerie as much as the next girl, but if I’m going to spend that much on a pair of bloomers they need to have some amazingly intricate detail or have super derriere-shaping powers.
