Strumpet & Pink

Strumpet & Pink is a collaboration between two artists, Lisa Z Morgan and Melanie Probert on a quest to create the perfect pair of knickers. So gorgeous, they’re almost too pretty to wear, the limited edition knickers are hand made from pure silk, satin, chiffon and crepe. Each pair of knickers is individually named with titles like ‘Lady Chatterley’s Lover’, 'Hunting Through the Ruffles' and 'Rosette Cheeks’. Interested in a pair of bespoke (made to measure to your design or inspired by your wildest fantasy)? Glamorous Amorous can arrange all the details for you, email info@glamorousamorous.com. Strumpet & Pink was founded in January 2002 by artists Melanie Probert and Lisa Z Morgan; a capricious idea that began life on the back of a tube ticket. "Our knickers are for women but made manifest as wearable pieces of art. "Princess and the Pea" and "Lady Chatterly's Lover" to name but a few. Our prime concern; how does a woman actually feel when she wears one of our creations. It is this experience that makes our knickers beautiful. Strumpet & Pink achieve this by embodying the sensibilities of the flower i.e beauty, fragility, sexuality and joy and combining these with the sensuous qualities of pure silk crepe, satin, chiffon and tulle. The knickers are cut on the bias in such a way as to trace and disclose the contours of the female form. Our knickers brim with contradictions; they feel beautiful, sensuous, humorous, naïve, sexual, confident and playful. Each pair holds a discovery, either in the form the knicker takes i.e by creating enticing entries which allow for various explorations; doorways and openings may be delicately outlined with seed pearls, some have layers of pure silk ties and ruffles to unlace, some are covered in an abundance of flowers while others, quite simply, become a flower. Or the woman who wears the knickers discovers something within herself simply by wearing them. Our knickers do not merely please the eye they pleasure the senses. Strumpet & Pink have featured in three books, ‘Panties – A Brief History’ by A. Blinkhorn & S. Tomczak, Seduction by Caroline Cox and ‘Toys for Girls’ edited by Patrice Farameh, and in magazines such as Elle, Vogue, Tatler, Marie Claire, The New York Times, Wallpaper etc and more avante garde magazines such as Quintissential, Bryan and Poppycock. Also featured on Forbes Connoisseur's Guide to the ‘Most Expensive Lingerie’ in both February 2005 and 2006. Yet Strumpet & Pink knickers are still created as individuals with the same integrity and attention to detail as the very first pair and each carries a hand printed ladies calling card rather than a label. STRUMPET & PINK are recognised as "pioneering the trend for hand-made lingerie".
