The final product’s delicate thoughtfulness starts at the beginning of the production process. Silk is handwoven (minimum waste and energy used through impeccable craftsmanship) and all lace is handmade using traditional Beeralu technique, a Portuguese-origin-technique, brought to Sri Lanka in the 16th century, that is time consuming but its intricate nature shines through. All buttons are hand crocheted using 100% bio-degradable fabric. And their no-waste policy ensures all fabric pieces are re-used.
Made in the timeless lingerie colors of black and white, Charini’s classic looks embody contemporary touches. At first, you may think these pieces are a little spendy, but they hold the true cost of luxury. Enjoy and feel transported.
