Taylor has arrived at HommeMystere!

We have now received the last of our 2015/16 collection of garments with the arrival of the Taylor set.  Taylor is made up of a panty, bra and teddy and is a great final release.  She is incredibly comfortable in all respects and the teddy is undoubtedly the best we have made.

Lingerie giveaway! (Sorry, it’s all gone now :( )

From time to time we have quality control issues with lingerie from the manufacturer.  I’m guessing (hoping!) this is fairly normal and that’s how businesses end up with ‘seconds’.  This is really just a way of describing lingerie that has fairly minor problems such as a loose thread, discoloration a mark or something similar. Some of it has simply got a little too scrunched up in transit.

When we count in the stock, all these garments go into a basket that I like to call the ‘I don’t know what I’m going to do with all that lingerie but I’m not comfortable in selling it to anyone because I wouldn’t be happy with it’ basket.

So for our newsletter subscribers over the past couple of days, they’ve been receiving freebies with every order.  For every $40 USD or so in an order, we’re adding a free something.  A pair of panties, a bra or maybe even lingerie.  Spend $80 USD and get two garments, $120 and receive three garments.  And so on.

So now all our subscribers have had a head start and we’ve now given out the equivalent of around $3,000 worth of seconds, it’s open for anyone who wants to take advantage.

I thought we might run out of freebies by the end of next week, but it appears to be more popular than I anticipated!  I think this weekend will see the majority gone instead!

Either way, we’ll continue giving away the stock until it’s all gone and I’ll leave a note right here when we run out.

Lingerie for free!
Lingerie for free!

 

If you are thinking of making a purchase and want a bonus, jump in and pick something up today!  We still have a hundred or so pieces remaining as of April 27th.

And it’s all pretty much gone 🙁  Thanks to everyone that made a purchase.  We were pretty generous with the freebies and even had to dip into our main stock for a few guys.  We will continue to give away the last remaining pieces if they are the right size according to the order that comes in but can’t guarantee anything ok!

The new stock will be available from next week and if you want to receive the discount code then please join our thousands of subscribers and sign up to the newsletter on our homepage.  It’s a great set and although it will be a little exxy, you guys are going to absolutely love the fabric – particularly in the teddy!

And you won’t be disappointed in the bra and panty set too!

This set will be a hit.  I have no doubt.

Sandra is on the loose!

We finally have Sandra available in our store!  Woo Hoo!  She is the second last set from our 2015/16 Collection with just one more set left to arrive.  Sandra’s family comes in a full panty, soft cup bra and there was a late decision to include a thong just for fun!  Read about her in the store and please pay close attention to the Product Descriptions for each garment so you get the sizing right.

Sandra is a nude/black mix with black lace and highlights on all three garments.

Our Sandra thong was such a late addition to the set we didn’t have time for model pics.  They’ll have to wait until our next photo shoot!  Note the cute lace pattern on the back.

We have some great deals on Sandra at the moment and a huge sale on all our bras – but only until April 25th 2016 so subscribe to our newsletter on the homepage to take advantage of this offer and many others!

So what’s next?  Well if you liked our Anneve bra, you’ll love what we have coming for the next release.  We’ll even have a super soft teddy to go with it.  Here’s a peek at part of our teddy!

Planning the 2016/17 range

I was fortunate enough to visit our manufacturer in China last month and begin planning our range for release over the second half of 2016 and first half of 2017.

I’ve gone a little more ambitious for the next range and included a swimwear set and a piece of sleepwear as well.  Plus there will be a range of bra/panty/lingerie as well.  If all the samples are successful, you should be in for some lovely lingerie over the next 18 months!

Below is a pic of one of the sample rooms in China during a break in planning.

Sample RoomIt was great to get back to China again and catch up with the people that work in the business there.  The hospitality is second to none and it’s interesting to see a culture with such a long history.  Except for the taxi drivers.  I think taxi drivers are the same all over the world.

We still have a couple of releases from the 2015/16 year to go and I expect the Sandra set to be available by April 11th or 12th at the latest.  I did add a thong to the set very late and after the model pics had been taken so just static pics for that.

I also discovered an issue with the bra and despite the fact that I love it, the band doesn’t offer as much stretch as I anticipated.  So I’ll be releasing it with an extender so it will fit correctly and sending one out with every Sandra bra sold.

If you’re a Newsletter subscriber, you will receive a notice and a substantial discount as soon as it becomes available.  I’ll also be having a bra sale at the same time so if you’re into bras, get onto our Newsletter to receive the offer.

A lingerie showroom – for guys!

Has it really been a month since my last post?!?  Time flies when you’re trying to get a new Showroom up and running!

Bring your partner and have a private appointment in comfortable surroundings

We’re pleased to say our Showroom is just about complete.  We’ll be having a soft opening this Sunday, January 24th from 12pm to 4pm so visitors can check out the range and have a meet and greet, ask questions, give feedback and so on.  There are still a few final touches to go on, but we’re sure you will be suitably impressed with what is possibly the only dedicated men’s lingerie showroom ever opened.

For those of you in Australia, you can now make an appointment for a private visit.  We’re only making a few Sunday’s available and depending on demand over the next week or so, we will cut or add days accordingly.

The kind of environment women wish they had for lingerie fittings.

If you are visiting from interstate or overseas and wish to visit outside of hours, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate your schedule.

Update: Thanks to the guys that came in on Sunday.  I appreciate it was pretty late notice and I was a bit concerned when no one showed up for a while!  But eventually we had a few visitors that took the opportunity to try a few garments on and also take home a freebie or two!

We will keep appointments open for the next couple of Sundays then drop them back to once a month or so.  In the interim I’ve had a few guys contact us via the site and request mid week appointments and that’s fine too.  Wherever possible I’ll work with you.

Thanks everyone.

2015 Report Card

We’ve been having a bit of a look at the past 12 months to see what we’ve achieved in the world of men’s lingerie.

Designs

It’s been a great year with a few new designs.  Genevieve was certainly a big winner with everyone and many will notice we’ve already sold out of the Large and XL bras.  Genevieve took the mantle of our fastest seller.  For a while.

Monique was the next release and she has been the quiet one with subdued sales despite being one of the most comfortable bras in the range.

Our next release was Rachel and she could easily be confused as Genevieve’s sister.  They have the same lines, same look although the Rachel bra is slightly larger in sizing.  Rachel Teddy  proved to be a winner with guys loving the thong back!

Anneve arrived and has taken over the title of fastest seller from Genevieve, but fortunately we made a few more of her so she will likely remain part of the family a little longer than the Genevieve bras.  Anneve also marked our first attempt at a babydoll style and that has also been popular.

Vanessa proved to be a bit temperamental and arrived later than expected.  The Vanessa skirt turned out to be a big winner with everyone, though the teddy was a bit of a failure!  We gave away about 500 of the teddies due to a button fail in the manufacturing process.

Tiffany is our most recent arrival and she is gaining in popularity.  The bra is the stand out winner here and it’s a style we may do again at some stage.

Store Update

In other news we updated the store at the beginning of the year and added bigger pics and improved usability for visitors.  The old store was a bit clunky and despite a few minor issues, the transition has been surprisingly smooth.

China Visit

I was also fortunate enough to travel to Guangzhou and tour the factory where our garments are made and also meet with the technicians that put up with my constant pattern changes and adjustments!  The meetings seemed to go well, although they may have been cursing me without my knowledge.  It was a great experience and I’m hoping to head back over in 2016 for a few days to confirm release plans for 2016/17.

USB Pen Giveaway

We had a giveaway a few months ago after I got a little carried away and purchased a heap of branded USB pens for customers.  They were loaded with a personal message, some pics of our early releases and a copy of our latest video.  Which reminds me, I must upload that video onto YouTube soon too!

Cyber Monday

Cyber Monday this year proved to be pretty big too!  The cyber Monday and our stocktake/birthday sale in May/June each year are our biggest sale periods.  It’s a great time for current customers to grab and extras of your favorite garments and also for new customers to grab a bargain.

Display Area

Possibly the biggest news for HommeMystere as a business was that we moved into bigger premises this year.  It was a pretty big leap from our previous place and so far it’s proven to be a great move.  We’re also cleaning up some space for a display area and fitting room for customers that want a more private and personal experience.

We will plan an open day and then trial clients via appointment to see if the experiment is a success.  If you live in Australia and genuinely think you will take advantage of the opportunity to have a personal appointment, I’m happy to hear from you now. We’re located on the southside of Brisbane and appointments will be weekends only.

With all of this happening in 2015, I can’t wait to see what will happen in 2016!

 

Cyber Monday Weekend

Our annual sale over the Thanksgiving weekend has finished and the results are in!  It’s been another very successful sale with plenty of guys (and girls) taking advantage of the great discount.

The downside of a successful sale is we start to rapidly run out of some lines.  For example, our fastest selling style this year has been Genevieve and she has now sold out in sizes Large and XL in the bras!

Genevieve Bra

Other styles that have recently sold out include the Rose Bra in Medium and Large, Scrunchy Panty in both Small and Medium and also the Large China Doll Panty.

Fortunately, we have more new lingerie to come.  The full cup Tiffany set is due this week and we’re confident it will be very popular.  Will it be the fastest seller?  We’ll know very soon!

Say it with Satin

It’s that time again already! ?We’re preparing for the arrival of our next set which is due on sale in early December. ?As usual, we have sent out a Newsletter asking for name suggestions and have received a pretty good response so far!

Satin Garter and Panty

 

Unfortunately there was a typo in the Newsletter which made it a little challenging to send the name suggestion, but most of our guys are working around it…

The satin set includes a full brief, garter and a bra. ?This is our first time developing a garter so it will be interesting to see what what our customers think of it.

Satin Bra

 

The Satin bra is a fairly standard design, though we have tried to develop this one to allow for some genuine support for guys that are looking for something more. ?It will only stretch to a ‘B’ cup, but is comfortable enough to wear all day. ?Men with Gynecomastia that are ok with something a bit lacy may find this helpful. ?Or guys that like to add ‘chicken fillets’ will also be impressed with this bra!

Satin Panty

 

Some of the name suggestions we’ve received so far include

Grace, Whitney, Katelyn, Savannah, Marisa, Stella, Isabella, Vanessa, Susan, Bonny Blue, Susie, Delilah, Mary-Beth, Kristine, Simone, Misti, Bianca, Julie, Dolly, Marie, Celine, Sirona, Rachel, Crystal, Esterella, Danielle, Penelope, Bettie/Betty, Genevieve, Robin/Robyn, Delilah, Mary, Blue Jay Collection, Heidi, Bella, Jazelle, Jenny, Serenity, Gabrielle, Daphne, Blue Belle, Lana, Elma, Debby, Camilla, Colleen, Brook, Alison, Angela, Amelia, Felicity, Fiyza, Frankia, Emily, Parisienne, Fleur, Britney, Sybil, Salma, Sapphire

So we have a new set arriving in the next few days and we need a name. ?Following on from our recent plan to have our customers help us out, we sent out an SOS newsletter for suggestions.

The new set is white with a floral pattern and is made from a gorgeous figure hugging microfibre.

The Winner is………….Elise! ?Thanks to Daniel in Texas, your freebie set is in transit.

 

I love Lucy!

I used to hate the idea of coming up with a name for each new piece of lingerie. ?It was more of a chore than fun, particularly when there are so many options. ?So our recent decision to have our newsletter subscribers come up with a name has been a great idea.

Annabelle?was the first winner for one of our customers from the United States and now we have a new winner from New Zealand. ?Keith has suggested ‘Lucy’ for our open set and says in his email it’s ‘a highly bewitching name’ and ticks all the boxes for him. ?Keith will have a set sent to him as soon as production is complete!

Lucy leaves nothing to the imagination!
Lucy leaves nothing to the imagination!

The Lucy thong is completely open at the front. ?There’s no tucking your package away. At all. ?Ever. ?Lucy is designed to be a fun, sexy garment for play.

Same goes for the bra. ?It’s peek-a-boo design is made for fun and show.

Have some fun.  Be daring with Lucy!
Have some fun. Be daring with Lucy!

The Lucy set is an exhibitionist’s dream and we can’t wait to have it available from mid September!
