Luxe Italian
lingerie brand
La Perla has something for everyone this
Valentine's Day, from its latest
haute couture collaboration to the traditional luxury classics the brand is famed for. As we
first reported earlier this year the famed firm, founded in Bologna in 1954, teamed up with French designer
Jean Paul Gaultier on a vintage-inspired capsule collection for the fashion-forward. Prices for the limited edition range from $600 - $1,200. Equally appealing are La Perla's classic creations (above), many of which are made with ultra-luxe leaver's
lace. The name "leavers" derives from the antique looms used to create this lace in an extremely complex and costly manufacturing process. La Perla uses the original looms as they're the only machines capable of working with a high number of threads, reproducing the intricate work of handmade lace. The result is distinguished by extremely fine detail. Check out the gallery for an eyeful.
