China Doll Revival?

One of the main goals of HommeMystere has been to continually expand the range of lingerie we design for our clients. That means we complete a single manufacturing run of a style and then never go back and make exactly the same style again.

There have been a couple of variations on this idea such as the Miranda being a very similar pattern to Genevieve, and Rachel also being close to the same style.

I also do plan to do another style of the Frill set although it will likely be the thong, panty and a padded bra in a different color.

But this week I received an email from Shane in the USA who said he always liked the China Doll set but found the site too late to get one. Shane also said there was some mention of the China Doll on other sites and forums where guys were interested in getting a set. This isn’t the first time I’ve received a request for the China Doll. Every now and again someone sends an email and I have apologise for not having one in their size.

China Doll was the first large manufacturing run for HommeMystere

So here’s a bit of background on the China Doll. It was the first ‘large’ production run we did of a particular style and our first time using a manufacturer in China. The name came from the fact is was made in China but more so after the David Bowie song of which I’m a fan. It was one of the turning points for HommeMystere going from small local runs to importing and learning about large factory manufacturing.

It certainly didn’t go too smoothly but starting a lingerie business for guys was never going to be a straightforward business plan! The China Doll did run very very small, the panty is low at the front but overall, the look is quite nice and it is/was quite comfortable. The China Doll bra has large cups which turned out to be a positive for our female model at the time – she was so impressed with the bra and the wing design she took a couple for herself!

China Doll Bra had the largest cup we have made with plenty of curve!

So I’m in two minds at the moment. Do we do another run on China Doll? Do we sacrifice a new style and color for another China Doll set? To do it again would mean making the bras larger in the band and I would also change the panty pattern slightly to make it higher at the front. And do you guys really want a full bra that has a cup size that large?

There is still time. I’m still in the planning stages for the second half of this year and will be back at the factory in China to work on the patterns and plans in March. Leave a comment and let me know what you think.

Please note it does take 12 to 24 hours for comments to appear..

Valentines Day Gifts and Tips!

So you’re looking for something to buy your guy for Valentines day. First, let’s work out where your guy sits in the world of lingerie-

* Is he into lingerie but he keeps a low profile because you’re not into it?

* Perhaps you’re both open minded and love dressing up and having some fun?

* He’s fully committed to lingerie and loves our underwear

* He knows nothing about lingerie but you think it might be fun and kinda sexy to see him dressed up?

To begin, if your partner is into lingerie and doesn’t make any kind of fuss about it even if you know, then choosing something is easy. Because he won’t care what you purchase for him – he’ll just be thrilled that you thought of purchasing lingerie at all! If your guy fits this profile, then pick anything you like and he’ll love you for it! Have some fun yourself and go with Lucy if he’s into thongs and Katie if he prefers briefs.

Lucy is a crotchless thong and peekaboo bra designed for fun!

If you’re both into lingerie then the easy answer is sit down with your guy and choose something together. If you prefer to make it a surprise then you will likely know what styles he likes and doesn’t like. Looking for something feminine in a full set? Try Anneve. Want something comfortable and fun? Try a Katie Romper. Want a comfortable set that’s a little subtle? Retro is the best bet.

Retro Gold is our Very High Cut brief and matching bra.

Is your guy one of our lingerie fans. Can’t wait for the next new release and has a bit of everything in the drawer? If you know our business model then you will understand that once we sell out of something then it’s gone for good. If your guys has a drawer full of our lingerie then find out what he loves best! Shouldn’t be too hard because he’ll be favoring that special pair of panties or that bra or teddy all the time. Just find out what it is and purchase a couple of them so he has spares before we run out of stock!

Or do you fall into the last group. Perhaps you’re the one interested in lingerie for guys and you want to dress him up and have some fun. But you don’t know how he’s going to take it? Or you’re concerned he may not like the idea? If he’s absolutely a beginner in lingerie and you have no idea what his reaction might be, then go with the PinStripe range. The boyshort, brief and vest are all fairly masculine looking but are made from beautiful soft fabric. If you think he’s a step up from that range and you really want to see him dressed up then we recommend Miranda for a full satin feeling or Heart for a brief playful print.

If your guy is new to lingerie, try him out on something subtle like PinStripe.

Or step it up a notch or two and get him something cheeky in Satin with Miranda!

Want to try your guy in a bra? Try the Miranda set!
