Did You Know?

While Vanity Fair Lingerie is best known for comfy essentials that are affordably priced, they've also been a game changer in the world of intimate apparel.

During the Second Word War, silk, which was widely used at that time in the manufacture of intimate apparel, was no longer available.

Faced with this challenge, Vanity Fair began using rayon as a substitute. This eventually led to the introduction of the innovative lightweight fabric that is widely used today - nylon tricot.

Vanity Fair is known for breathable fabrics that are comfortable.
