No, You Don’t Deserve Luxury Lingerie

The Sparklewren ‘Strawberry Leopard’ corset.
Photography by InaGlo Photography. A one-off piece of couture with many
hours of hand stitching and skilled labour behind it.  This is one of
the many pieces I scrimped and saved for as a student, forgoing other
‘luxuries’ such as alcohol and going out. As a personal tip for very
expensive pieces from independent designers – it’s always worth asking
if they can take installments to space out the damage to your bank
balance!

Everyone deserves to be able to afford luxury lingerie, but that doesn’t mean designers should give away products for free while we have to live under capitalism, you have to compensate their labor, christ.
