Last night, Boudiche’s Glasgow boutique hosted a exclusive event for brides to be. With an abundance of bubbly, cupcakes, bridal models, and fittings, Boudiche boutique staff were also lucky enough to show-off exquisite, individual hats and head pieces by William Chambers Millinery. Boudiche helped lots of brides find their perfect lingerie for their special day during this glittering evening! We snapped away and here are some fabulous photos from the event:

Since you are reading our blog it is highly likely we have already brought a smile to your face with lingerie from Boudiche – how do you fancy returning that smile?

A survey revealed by Poll.com this week  found that British women are hoarding 124 million unwanted bras. Poll.com interviewed 3,000 women nationwide aged 16 – 65 to discover the typical female owns 13 bras but only wears 8 of them regularly, while the remaining 5 are left untouched and gathering dust!

We aim to donate 1000 knickers to the women and children in Zimbabwe and Ethiopia as part of the Smalls for All campaign.  Smalls for All started in 2009 when Edinburgh based Maria Macnamara visited Africa doing voluntary work in an orphanage, and became aware of the need for basic underwear for African women and children. She has since collected over 6500 pair of pants!

We are donating 5 pairs of women’s or children’s underwear for every bra fitting carried out in our Glasgow or Edinburgh boutique and would very much appreciate if you could help the cause by donating new multi-packs to help reach our target. There will be rather fetching collection boxes in our boutiques for you to drop off your dontations!

After all that giving we thought you may like to get a little something? How about a 20% discount on a new bra if you trade us for an unworn or ‘gently worn’ bra. We all know once properly fitted our customers generally go down a back size and up a cup size or two and many old bras are left redundant. So here is the perfect excuse to grow your exquisite looking, well fitting lingerie selection and help the women and children in Africa!

This campaign is also open to our international customers send us your ‘gently worn’ bras and or multi-packs of new knickers and we will send you a 20% discount code to use online! Please email us first at africa@boudiche.com and we will send you more details.

The campaign runs from 29th March.

Ultra feminine lingerie brand Fleur of England made their first visit north of the border to host a dessert themed evening at Boudiche Edinburgh (well… we are exclusive stockists in Scotland).

Fleur herself and brand development manager Luisa braved the bitter Scottish wind – with Luisa even donning some tartan attire -  to celebrate the brands latest Winter collections – Keepsake and Dessert.

Fleur had no qualms in admitting the inspiration for the collections came from her love of chocolate whether it be; truffles, cakes, bars or just simply a delicious chocolate dessert Fleur is a big fan – a lady after our own hearts!

Whilist discussing why the brand recently rebranded from Fleur T to Fleur of England, Fleur told the ladies of Edinburgh that she is committed to making the best fitting and looking small back and large cup sized bras.

It has been a busy month for Boudiche designer lingerie Directors Clare & Fiona, in addition to a visit to Belgium to see the Marie Jo and Prima Donna factories, the girls have been involved in various press shoots. In fact Clare dashed back from Belgium to Edinburgh to meet with The Times who featured a lovely article on Boudiche.

Not one to be left out Fiona soon made up for her lack of presence at  The Times shoot by joining Clare at Tigerlily in Edinburgh for some somewhat humorous press shots.

It was not all oranges and tea cups the girls got down to some serious posing and with the direction of Susie Lowe they  created some fierce photographs that will be hitting newstands near you soon…

Queen of the softest leather and oversized bows – Miss Keira Thorley has now landed in the world of Boudiche. What better way to welcome the Scottish beaut than to hold a trunk show in her honour in our Edinburgh boutique (home city to her design studio).

Team Boudiche have been Keira enthusiasts since meeting her this year at  The Scottish Fashion Awards – so much so that Clare, one of the Boudiche directors recently confessed she may now own the entire collection having indulged once more this time in the metallic gold leather jacket at the event.

From the reaction of the press and guests at the event we think Clare may have some competition. The wrist bow in classic black sold out with further orders being placed! The metallic pewter and pink bows are available to buy online.

No Boudiche event is complete without a cocktail of some description … so our thanks go to Ricks at Montpeliers for creating ‘The Keira Cocktail’ which went down a treat. A Keira bow on one wrist and a Keira cocktail in the other –we can see this look catching on…

First of all, Boudiche would like to thank everyone who attended the Bebaroque event in our Glasgow boutique  (we are not just about designer lingerie you know) We hope you enjoyed the night as much as we did and managed to see your photograph in the Evening Times on Saturday!

For those of you who did not make it (it was Boudiche’s largest guest list yet) or if you over indulged in a few too many Pincer vodka cocktails and need a reminder of the nights events here goes…

Our make up artist and models arrived at 4pm, just as we returned from Cruise Clothing in Glasgow- they ever so kindly let us borrow some of their new season collections to wear with the new Bebaroque tights and bodysuits.

The models had just finished their run through and there was already a queue of guests outside the boutique, two of the models: Sophie and Polina quickly jumped into the window (dressed in Bebaroque of course!) ready to greet everyone.

The boutique was packed, the Pincer cocktails and cupcakes were aplenty and the sun was beaming through the window, so we decided to start the fashion show early!

Our models, Sophie, Polina, Nusi and Gill did an amazing job looking gorgeous whilst strutting in their five inch heels on our four foot high catwalk!

After the fashion show, the Bebaroque tights literally flew off the shelves we were left looking in dismay at our empty cabinets! No doubt having the chance to meet Chloe & Mhari – the uber stylish ladies from Bebaroque – had something to do with it!

Until next time remember to Bebaroque!

As of 9.30 this morning, our Boudiche boutiques in Edinburgh and Glasgow have started their summer sale with reductions of up to 75% off your favourite designer lingerie brands.

If you’re in Glasgow or Edinburgh come along and see what bargains you can pick up – you might also be lucky enough to meet one of our Boudiche girls who will be out and about in the towns with bags of lollipops!

Meet Debbie, our fabulous model who braved the torrential downpour in Edinburgh with a huge smile on her face.

Boudiche were asked to be present our designer lingerie collections at the launch of the AMA Homes Springside development in Edinburgh.

At the recent ‘Don’t Walk’ fashion show held at St Andrews University in Scotland, Boudiche got to show off some of their Spring/Summer 2009 collections of designer lingerie.
