A couple of days ago I posted this cute little lace bralette I made on my
Instagram. It was much of an achievement as I am not really one to sit down and sew to completion - but on this one, I bared the needles 'til the end. I didn't expect anyone would want the same, so naturally you can imagine how flattered and humbled I was when a few orders came in. That's when the crazy idea of designing lingerie and lounge wear sneakily crept in.
So why lingerie and lounge wear?
Khumo is a simple yet so complex being - sometimes I walk into a store and conditionally like something - 'oh if they had put the beads here instead of there it would be perfect' - with me it's almost always lacking something or a tad too much. So, a friend of mind got agitated with my shopping habits and told me if I'm gonna be picky, I might as well do it myself.
Can you call you a lingerie designer now?
Haha, God no. I work in fashion e-commerce and I love my job. But I love so many other things too like shoes, underwear and perfume. So no, I am still Khumo, no fancy titles please.
What's the name of your shop?
Sultry Goddess - need I say more? Actually, it is more innocent than it sounds, most of my friends are either doctors, engineers, entrepreneurs or lawyers, it is always intriguing how the job requires an entirely different persona, so much seriousness is required but when we are altogether and the masks are off, we are the goofiest bunch, die hard romantics too. So Sultry Goddess captures femininity as a whole. And what screams femininity more than a lady curled up in her lace or satin lounge wear, buried deep in good book?
Interesting. So when can we start buying?
When everything is ready, which is hopefully soon. For now, you can just sort of enjoy the pictures and follow my IG so no one misses out :). Otherwise, if you can't wait, shoot me an email at khumo@quirkiiperkii.com - I'll try my best to get it to you no matter where in the world you are.
