Hanro celebrates 130th Anniversary

Hanro, the Swiss lingerie and loungerie brand is 130 this years been founded in 1884 and since then it's always been synonymous of understated luxury. To celebrate this important birthday, a new capsule collection called " The Universe of Hanro" has been launched this October 2014 with a vintage style taken from the extensive Hanro archives.

Beautiful details mixed with modern cuts, the softest cotton -cashmere, the lightest cotton tulle and viscose satin have been used for this collection, lace and embroidery are present and the beautiful palette of dark red, anthracite and gold grey can be mixed and matched.

This beautiful model, is wearing a delicate body made in cotton tulle with Art Nouveau lace in a vibrant red lipstick colour, teamed up with the sophisticated gold grey robe made in soft viscose satin. This collection has just landed in shops nationwide and there are few items for men as well in dark blue and grey stripes.

Hanro has got a huge range of nightwear and loungewear, the fabrics used are always of the highest quality, because nightwear is in direct contact with our skin. This nightdress and robe are from the Queens range which is available in off white and in this beautiful purple shade. The guipure embroidery is a real treat.

The Met model has got  a very practical turtle neck shirt with lace details and maxi brief. The shirt is perfect under a jacket  or under an A line dress with short sleeves. Available in black as well and with a t shirt or long sleeve shirt, it is the everyday model that makes you feel right and comfortable.

The West Village top is another of those pieces made by Hanro that can be worn under a jacket, because it is so elegant with that silk detail that it is a pity to leave it under a garment. It is made of wool and silk, so you can only imagine how soft it is. As well as dust pink, it is available in light melange, coffee and black, so that just changing the top  you can have nearly a week worth of outfit at work.

The Tribeca model is a great pyjama made in cotton and modal, for a better comfort. A nightdress is available as well in this great plum colour or ash or chocolate. Hanro makes luxurious items that can be worn at home as loungewear, so that at the end of a day at work, the highlight of the day is coming home, have a shower and change in a comfortable outfit  like this.

Hanro doesn't make only lingerie, there is a range of loungerie  that can be mixed and matched with some of the underwear and nightwear garments. This soft cardigan is the Thompson , made of modal and cashmere. The colours available are pink taupe, olive and black. It is teamed with a pair of Prince long pants in jersey and the Fine Line top from the basic range.

I love this bra from the Moments range. It is in a beautiful rich purple shade, which is my favourite colour. The bra has got a matching brief, but here it has been styled with a pair of plain brief and the contrast works very well.
