Envie Lingerie and Swimwear

Brief

We have worked with Envie for just over 10 years. After approaching Envie and demonstrating the many advantages of upgrading their existing site to our new SoSimple e commerce and CMS module, they were keen for us to progress development of a new feature rich site. In September 2008 we again approached Envie regarding a website upgrade to our latest fully featured e commerce module which is now live.

Envie offer an abundance of non wired bras, maternity bras, nursing bras, sexy bras, briefs and lingerie in all shapes and sizes. Popular brands like Playtex who specialize in corsetry - particulary the 18 Hour Range and Anita who have been making bras now for over 100 years. The Anita Rosa Faia offers unusual sizes, Anita Care specialises in mastectomy and after surgery and Anita Maternity bras offer both breastfeeding and nursing styles in underwired and nonwired bras.
