Sonata Lingerie

Born In Lithuania, Sonata Rapalyte started her love affair with beautiful fabrics when she was just a small child, dancing around her Mothers bedroom whilst dressing up in lavish dresses - “It made me feel pretty and... happy...” Sonata first picked up a needle and thread at the tender age of seven, she always knew where her passion lay, but really came into her own when she moved to London and worked for a string of lingerie designers including a number of famous designers. Living and working in London for a number of years Sonata realised there was a market for beautiful, luxurious lingerie. With ambition, she decided to create her own lingerie line. With a lovefor travel as well as her passion for lingerie, Sonata moved to the Sardinian coast, and it was there that Sonata designed her entire first collection She says of her inspiration- “I was surrounded by unmistakable and breath-taking beauty on the Island.....so inspirational, I used to take a boat and sail out to the middle of the ocean, sit in the sun with the breeze and waves, and just design........” This is reflected in her designs, especially the Aurora collection (coming soon), consisting of long Silk Chiffon pastel greens, with Amber accents representing the sun and the breezy chiffon- the sea....it has a silk detail representing the waves. Sonata has also introduced a linen line into the collection saying- “Linen is very important in everyday wear-it is the most anti allergic fabric, I used antique embroidery methods to produce these pieces –they are something which can be bought through-out the year –essentials-not just throw- away fashion....” The whole of the collection is produced with only the highest quality Silks and French lace....adorned with Swarovski crystals and Amber embellishments to produce luxurious lingerie. “ I hate to think I have only one type of lady buying my designs...I hope to inspire all ages from 18-80!.., it is a high end lingerie line due to the quality fabrics and handmade aspect of the designs , Sonata lingerie is designed with fabulous women in mind everywhere...”
