Lace – timeless femininity

Lace has been a symbol of elegance for centuries.

  • Pros: delicate, beautiful, lightweight.
  • Cons: fragile, requires gentle care.

👉 Best for special lingerie sets and romantic occasions.
👉 Care tip: hand wash, avoid tumble drying.


Satin – luxury and shine

Satin feels smooth and looks luxurious.

  • Pros: elegant, glossy, soft.
  • Cons: wrinkles easily, may wear out with frequent washing.

👉 Perfect for nightgowns and sensual lingerie.


Cotton – natural comfort

Cotton is the everyday classic.

  • Pros: breathable, hypoallergenic, durable.
  • Cons: less elastic, slower drying.

👉 Ideal for daily underwear, maternity lingerie and sensitive skin.


Microfiber – modern performance

Synthetic but highly functional.

  • Pros: lightweight, elastic, invisible under clothes.
  • Cons: less breathable than cotton.

👉 Best for seamless lingerie.


Tulle & embroidery – decorative elements
