Private Shop

When a brand has stood the test of time for 80 years, you know it’s onto a good thing. And that’s definitely the case with London-based Rigby & Peller, which has been around since 1939 – and which is part of Private Shop, Hong Kong. Not only are its luxury lingerie, swimwear and sleepwear designs stylish and comfortable, they’re also made for real women! Its bras and bikini tops come in various styles (including full cup, padded and push up) and there’s just as much choice when it comes to swimsuits (including underwired, boat neck, low plunge and control). We recommend visiting one of its stores so that you can take advantage of its expert fitting and styling services. The pieces may be an investment, but you can rest assured you’re getting top quality pieces that will last you for years to come! If your purchases come to $3,000 or above, you will receive a free Sakura umbrella with a reusable umbrella bag until Sunday, 9 June, while stocks last.
