Surrounded by a translucent curtain, this showroom protects the five collections that designer Marika Vera created during the last three years.
This lingerie shop has earned its reputation thanks to singers like Rihanna and Jessie Ware who have worn some of their garments (those outfits are available in store). The designer not only gives you a tour around the place, but takes the time to understand your body and suggest something to accentuate your sensuality.
Inspired by erotica author Anaïs Nin, Marika Vera’s designs are characterized by the use of see-through materials and strategic cuts that cover the erogenous parts of women, making them versatile so you can use them both in and out of the bedroom.
Lingerie pieces are mostly made of silk and prices range from thongs of 1,200 to robes in 7000 pesos. They have a wide range of sizes, but if something doesn’t suit you, there’s custom service for 8000 pesos. You can choose colours, types of sleeves, collars and materials. You can even design a complete set for a special occasion.
For something more affordable you can opt for their new collection Nada y Nuda ranging from 900 pesos to 1,500 pesos, consisting of basic items for daily use such as bodysuits, leggings, skirts and blouses all in black and white.
Discounts are sent via email to customers on special occasions like February 14 or Women's Day. And if you’re a reader of Time Out Mexico, Marika Vera will give you a 15% discount.
