La Perla Luxury Lingerie Review: High-End Unmentionables

Don’t expect to walk into a La Perla Studio or a department store such as Neiman Marcus, or other high-end store that carries this high end line of lingerie, and think that you are going to dare to drop a small amount of change and walk out with a bag of goodies. It’s not going to happen. We are talking about the Italian line of La Perla Luxury Lingerie. The experience is going to be a little bit different. We are talking high end unmentionables here.

La Perla Luxury Lingerie is beautiful lingerie, but this beauty comes at a price. The high-end unmentionables can cost a pretty penny from a simple thong to a beautiful negligee. A black knit “Swish” pajama set runs $266.00 at Neiman Marcus. That’s a splurge since PJ’s are optional. For most of us foundation garments are a necessity. And usually you pay for what you get. Well with La Perla Lingerie, allow me to tell you what you get – and for how much.

Looking at the foundation garments of the La Perla Luxury Lingerie and selecting one of the prettier ones, a two-tone style (Elizabeth to be exact), the Elizabeth two-tone push-up bra runs $173.00 while the matching thong costs $65.00. Both come in black or taupe with ivory lace. The basic sheer cup under wire bra (style Sexy Town) that is 5% spandex, and 95% nylon costs $76.00. The matching brief will cost you $46.00. Again, take in mind the lingerie is advertised as Luxury Lingerie. Is it worth it you ask? Coming from a girly-girl (which I am), I have to tell you that I think it is. The quality, the style, and the fit all make it worth the price. Are prices a bit high? Well they are not cheap, but again it is all about priorities. Remember the operative word with this lingerie is “luxury.”

This year with the Fall 2006 Collection is the release of the La Perla Limited Edition 50th Anniversary Push Up Bra for a mere $309.00. You can get the matching thong for $154.00. This is truly what I consider high-end unmentionables.
