About Us
We create beautiful, sexy, affordable, and above all, comfortable underwear
in natural fabrics, for women of all shapes and sizes. We also design
mens and nightwear - and next season we couldn’t resist designing
some classic silk shirts, which will be available very soon.
We currently sell in around 80 shops and boutiques world-wide - mainly
in the UK and the US. Stockists in the UK include Selfridges,
Figleaves and Topshop. US stockists
include Barneys and Bendels.
We've grown entirely by word of mouth. We have an extremely loyal following
– with our first customers still coming back for more. We continue
to build a strong press reputation, regularly featuring in monthly fashion
and lifestyle magazines as well as the national press.
The Sunday Telegraph Magazine described us as "A
range of simple, comfortable lingerie in soft, sheer fabrics which make
it and the person wearing it, infinitely desirable".
Stella Magazine (Saturday Times) has said: "the
philosophy behind the line is very simple: everyone ought to be able to
afford pure silk smalls. Gwyneth is a fan".
We have a growing list of celebrity fans including model Liberty
Ross who named them her 'favourite' and milliner Cosmo
Jenks declared them 'her secret weapon'. Other fans include Eva
Longoria, Natalie Imbruglia, Laura Bailey,
Honor Fraser and Amy Winehouse. While
Orlando Bloom and Johnny Vaughan 'line
up for the latest silk boxer shorts' (International Herald Tribune).
One of our nighties was worn by Edie Brit in Desperate Housewives
and we recently just missed out on a Vogue front cover with Sarah
Jessica Parker. Most recently Rick Edwards has joined the male
fan list, with Gok Wan promoting our products on Channel
4's Fashion Fix.
Sexy panties and naughty knickers was established in 2004 by Pom Lampson
who didn't believe there had to be any compromise between the design,
quality and look with fit, comfort and price. We believe that everyone
should be able to wear their best underwear everyday. We are now known
for this commitment as well as our diverse colour range, especially our
trade mark hot pink, and our size range (A-FFs).
Speaking about the brand, Pom Lampson says, "I'd like to think that
as a label sexy panties and naughty knickers sits exactly in the middle
of M&S and Agent Provocateur. Our products are silk, but they are
affordable everyday wear. They are fantastically comfortable and flattering.
I have 60 year old ladies and 16 year old girls who adore the same pair
of knickers. Underwear should be lovely and luxurious - as well as functional."
About our products
We work extremely hard on the fit of our entire range and test all of
our products on real women of all shapes and sizes. We deliberately try
to make our bras as accessible to as many women as possible by offering
a size range from an A to a FF cup. We pride ourselves on making bras
that make women feel beautiful, elegant and supported and we are working
on expanding our size range further.
We use the finest quality silk and cotton. Our nighties, camisoles and
pants are 100% silk. When designing a bra, it unfortunately becomes more
difficult to use entirely natural materials. Silk fibres do not lend themselves
to creating a supportive bra, which means that although we use silk wherever
possible, some synthetic materials have to be incorporated so that the
bras do the job they are designed for, as well as looking gorgeous.
A word from Pom
In 2004, I was inspired to set up the business having been given a pair
of silk knickers - beautifully made but spectacularly unflattering and
uncomfortable. I couldn't believe something so beautiful and intimate
could be so un-wearable.
Intrigued and now craving silk and comfort, I researched my native London
and New York where I was living at the time as a photographer. The more
I looked, the more I realised that there was a gap in the market.
I decided to fill the gap and set myself a task: to design ideal silk
knickers that were as sexy as they were comfortable and which were affordable.
Armed with these, I wanted to see if there were other women who like me,
wanted to wear silk next to their skin every day, but didn't think that
they should have to choose between comfort and style, quality and price.
My knickers were immediately picked up by individuals and retailers who
shared my vision. Since then I have continued to design new collections
- including bras, vests and night wear for all women - whatever their
size A or FF, extra large or extra small, and also for men. We sell in
over 80 shops worldwide. We have a large celebrity following - and an
extremely loyal customer base. We are known for vibrant colours and contemporary
designs. We have a diverse range: soft bras and underwired bras, knickers,
thongs, shorts, camisoles, shirts, nightwear, mens boxers - and we're
always producing new things. We are more than happy to do exchanges and
refunds.
I continue to be inspired and motivated to design collections that use
top quality fabrics and original colours and designs; to make people look
and feel great and to ensure that my products are comfortable, practical
and affordable.
We hope you like what you see, and would love to hear your comments and
suggestions and indeed anything else you would like to tell us. Please

Wider commitments
We are of course committed to great knickers and bras for everyone for
everyday.
We also work hard to ensure that:
- the people who make our products have a fair deal, which is why we
work with a regulated factory employing adults only.
- we work in a fun, creative, safe and fair environment.
- we give to charities that are directly relevant to our products -
for example last year, we gave to the Knickers 4 Africa appeal; where
our products could make a difference; and where one of our team is a
supporter.
