here...I don't get it...they look just like those baby girl's frilly back, over nappy pants, you used to be able to buy at woolies !

Serious VPL in those babies !

I rather like them though, not for £500 admittedly. Perhaps they are silk from some endangered breed of spider or worm ?

They aren't undies! I mean what could you wear them under? Anyway, paying that much you'd want them to be seen

southeastastra · 12/02/2009 19:21

omg i could make them, i can see a new internet opportunity arising

LauriefairycakeeatsCupid · 12/02/2009 19:22

maybe it comes with a swarovski crystal butt plug as the 'surprise'

Some high-end companies just charge this, so people like Peaches Geldof can feel better than the rest of us. Cute pants though.

oh that makes sense now,

I didn't realise these designers made couture lingerie so it must be in limited numbers and high quality materials.

I love them but could not bring myself to part with that much cash for pants!

warthog · 12/02/2009 20:08

gorgeous but NO WAY would my butt be seeing them.

tumtumtetum · 12/02/2009 20:12

Hideous!

DH baffled by them.

They look like those knickers you get with baby dresses to put on over their nappy.

I am also not sure about donning something labelled "strumpet"

I think in this case less definitely would be more

did you know about c-strings?
here, they are supposed to stay up on their own, but I wouldn't dare, imagine running for the bus and it flew off and hit someones's windscreen !

southeastastra · 12/02/2009 20:21

ew ew EWW at c-string!

tumtumtetum · 12/02/2009 20:22

ROFL not sure it would look like that with my humungous ladygarden spreading out from under it!

southeastastra · 12/02/2009 20:26

i bet they really grip too, ouch

rofl...I dare say most people will look like they've just got a dark coloured pantliner stuck on them, without the pants...ohh now there's a business idea...the c-string panty liner, like they have the g-string ones.

TheRealMrsJohnSimm · 12/02/2009 20:31

it's bonkers to spend £500 on knickers, even if they're hand made by karl lagerfeld. it's obscene!

southeastastra · 12/02/2009 20:55

though they'd probably be worth more if made by karl lagerfeld :S
