We are always on the look out for new British brands and were delighted when we stumbled upon Amelia Thomas Vintage. Started just last year but born from years of collecting vintage lingerie, Amelia Thomas is vintage luxury reminted.
The collection is all cut and sewn by hand in London, so finely you could probably wear it inside out and no one would notice! Each piece has a story and derives from a vintage piece in Amelia’s own wardrobe.
“I have always loved lingerie, and have always worn it for myself, as opposed to just impressing a man, I wanted to create a label that was by women for women, that they love wearing even if they are the only person to see it, having said that I do have many men buying for their ladies!”
The latest additions to the ever growing collection are some rather saucy silk and lace numbers. We got an exclusive peek at Amelia’s studio in London.
“The Lace Insert Slip was actually created from an egg yellow nightie my mother gave me when I was a teenager, it had caramel lace and was my favourite nightie ever. I felt so glamourous in it. I wanted to recreate it in black silk and lace for some grown up gorgeousness.”
Another piece that could be straight out of Boardwalk Empire is the Black Silk and Lace Sleepsuit, the low back is extremely sexy and the lace is placed perfectly – teamed with the new Lace Edge Housecoat we felt like reclining on a chaise-longue like a 20s starlet.
You can currently buy the entire collection on Amelia’s website [Click here] and a select number of pieces on Etsy [Click here]. Prices range from £45 – £345, each piece is made to order and you can visit the shop to view the collection by appointment and look out for Open Days in the run up to Christmas. #BuyBritish
