The Bracli Pearl Thong - just saying it would send a shiver of excitement down any woman's spine. After all, it has become the Holy Grail of lingerie pieces, a beautiful piece that any lingerie connoisseur would want in her collection.
The Bracli Pearl Thong is designed and produced by Bracli, the Spanish lingerie and accessory company owned by Luis Alvarez. Bracli was already producing and selling the Bracli Pearl Thong since its inception in Asturias, Spain, in 1999, long before it ever made its way to American shores. It first started out as the brainchild of Luis, then a banker in Asturias, who first designed the beautiful piece of lingerie for the use of immediate friends. The very first public offering was in the boutique of a 5-star hotel in Tenerife, the largest of seven Canary Islands in Spain. Tourists immediately snapped them up; the Pearl Thong had passed its baptism of fire in the open market. Bracli continued producing and selling it, with Luis Alvarez stating that the Bracli Pearl Thong was a success in Spain and that "we know customers are satisfied, because we see their faces the next day".
It was only when it reached the United States of America did it start its spiraling rise towards being a luxurious lingerie piece that was on the wish list of legions of women around the world.
It all began when Rebecca Apsan started importing these pearly wonders from Bracli, all the way from Spain. Rebecca Apsan is better known in American circle as "The Lingerie Evangelist"; she is the owner of La Petite Coquette, in New York City, and is a font of knowledge when it comes to the intimate apparel industry. Her high-flying list of clients includes superstars along the likes of Angelica Houston, Britney Spears, Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell, Britney Spears, Salma Hayek and Cindy Crawford...just to name a few.
It all began when Rebecca was chosen to provide all the intimate apparel on the hit TV series, Sex and the City. The series has been a hit with women from all across the globe, in almost all age demographics. This is because the show features four middle-aged women and their every-day struggles, and the one firm message that it sends out appeals to all women: you can enjoy life, and still have a great sex life, no matter what age you are. It was not surprising that the show resonated with a lot of working-age women. A large portion of the show was dedicated to the sexual adventures of the four leads, and Rebecca Apsan, with her thirty years of wisdom in the lingerie business, was deemed to be just the right person to play the role of lingerie provider.
The Bracli Pearl Thong fell into the hands of the series' writers, and was woven into one of the episodes. This famous episode was Episode 69 of the series, titled 'Luck Be an Old Lady' and was first aired on 4th August 2002. One of the four lead women in the show, Samantha, who is well known for her healthy sexual appetite and vibrant personality, was given the pearl thong as a gift from her onscreen boyfriend, and thus, the Bracli Pearl Thong was forever immortalized in popular culture. It has also been featured in the famous pages of Playboy, and a host of other Spanish magazines.
Each Bracli Pearl Thong is hand-made in Asturias, Spain, ensuring top-notch quality and design, and is made from very soft-stretch French lace and has a strand of Mallorcan pearls that run from front to back. Why Mallorcan pearls? These are pearls that are specially cultured in the Baleric Islands in Spain, using a process that is a very well-kept secret. Mallorcan pearls are superior to natural ones because they are far more durable than the more fragile natural pearls, and can withstand perfume, make-up and perspiration; these pearls are definitely world-famous and very in demand by customers due to these characteristics.
The elegant and sensual design is patented worldwide, so cheap imitators will never offer the same pleasures as a genuine Bracli Pearl Thong.
A genuine Bracli Pearl Thong comes in its own gorgeous presentation box, with a special care card. The Pearl Thong comes in two sizes; regular for ladies between the sizes of 4-12 and plus size for ladies between the sizes of 14 - 20. They come in black, ivory, blue, pink, white and red.
