Kinky Knickers are the latest brain child of flame-haired heroine of the British high street, Mary Portas (love!) and are the subject of her latest TV project 'Mary's Bottom Line', which concluded tonight on UK Channel 4 (you can watch it on 4oD) It follows Mary as she tries to re-invigorate the failing British textile industry by designing and making the one thing we all wear - knickers!
These aren't just beautiful pants though, they're knickers with a social conscience! They're entirely designed and made in Britain. They use lovely British Nottinghamshire lace and are manufactured in a little factory in a small town 'up North' by a motley crew of apprentices that Mary found in the Dole queue. These knickers not only support British manufacturing, they give formerly unemployed people a job and with it a sense of pride and self-worth!
If that wasn't reason enough to buy these beauties - they also happen to be gorgeously cheeky, retro and just the right amount of naughty...perfectly British! Want!
Alas, although I suppose its a good thing - Knicker Knickers are out of stock everywhere! I think they're worth waiting for though so I'll be front of the queue when they're back in stock! Get in line ladies (and gents - these would make naughty but nice presents ;)
