At the new La Perla store in Beijing, you'd have to shell out at least 2,500 yuan to own the best Italian fashion that only your partner will ever get to see. Here is surely the most expensive lingerie in the capital bras from 4,000-6,000 yuan and evening dresses from 15,000-40,000 yuan.
If there were a pecking order of fine lingerie, La Perla would be high on the list.
One of Italy's sexiest brands captures the pure power of seduction, uniquely combining in its collection raw sensuality with playful eroticism to create the essence of enticing intimates. In its black label series. A trip to the store is also a treat for both women and their men. Like an Italian matriarch's walk-in closet, the luxury boutique is the picture of drama and intrigue with velvet walls and undulating hallways as curvy as customers' bodies.
Here you can find evening gowns, cocktail pieces, coats, suits, swimwear, accessories and fragrance in addition to La Perla's fine hosiery and mind-boggling skivvies. And nestled in every opulent corner are bikinis in bejeweled gold, turquoise-studded black and intricately embroidered white rope; matching bra-and-panty sets in lace, silk and mesh so decadent they could (and should) stand as outfits on their own, harking back to 1960s Italian cinema: dark, intense, finely crafted.
