The Daily Treat

I personally cannot identify with this label. Maybe it is my size or maybe it is my age but either way, I would not gravitate to the pieces in a boutique. I do think, however, that the line is kind of nifty. The vintage inspired bralette and garter-brief in silver/shortbread from the Spring 2008 collection is actually very pretty. With the decadent lace on the back of the panties and the lovely red bows on front, the set is quite dainty and ladylike. The high-waisted garter-brief is really a brilliant design feature, as it appears to be very comfortable. Further, the bras in the collection seem easy to close with their unique picture hook type fasteners.

What prompted me to research this label was an interview I heard with the two designers, Nikki Dekker and Maayan Zilberman. I have to admit it was not so much the lingerie that piqued my interest but rather the meaning of the term “the lake and stars”. When the designers indicated it was a Victorian era expression for giving a man a great time in bed, I just had to chuckle. I have said time and time again, I love companies that say the obvious in subtle ways!

The designers’ backgrounds are diverse but meld together nicely to create unique, luxury garments. Maayan worked with sculpture while Nikki designed lingerie for Target stores in the US. The two ladies are Brooklyn, New York based and met while at a party three years ago. When asked about the types of customers, to whom the line appeals, they indicated that their customers wanted the same qualities as they did. Fashion conscious, comfortable and inexpensive pricing. They went on to say that underwear was just another layer of clothing to be seen not to be hidden away.

The line is sold in Canada at the old and well-known Holt Renfrew stores and in the United States at high scale lingerie boutiques. Several online shops also have a large selection of the line so it may be possible to purchase internationally.
