When we relaunched Revival Lingerie earlier this month, we knew we'd be spending the next few weeks adding products, refining the website and listening to your feedback. You've certainly kept us busy!
From colour swatches to international shipping, here are some of the latest improvements we've made to make shopping with Revival even easier.
New Colour Swatches for Vintage Lingerie
If you've ever found yourself wondering whether a garment is lavender, lilac or vintage peach, you're certainly not alone.
Many of our lingerie colours are deliberately subtle, inspired by authentic mid-century shades rather than today's brighter fashion colours. While that's part of their charm, it can make choosing online a little tricky.
We've now added colour swatches to many of our products to help.
Rather than simply picking a colour on a computer screen, we compared each actual garment against a Pantone colour guide to create a swatch that closely matches the fabric itself. Every screen displays colours slightly differently, but this gives the closest possible representation of what you'll receive.
It's a small detail, but one we hope makes shopping for vintage-inspired lingerie that little bit easier.
USA Shipping Has Arrived Earlier Than Expected
One of the biggest surprises since our relaunch has been how quickly we've been able to reopen international shipping.
Thanks to Royal Mail's Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) service, we're now shipping to customers across the USA without the usual customs surprises.
That means any duties and taxes are paid before your parcel leaves the UK, so there are no unexpected import charges to pay when it arrives.
When we first planned the relaunch, we expected USA shipping to take several more weeks to arrange, so we're delighted to have it available much sooner than anticipated.
We're now investigating adding Germany next, and hope to continue expanding our list of shipping destinations over the coming months.
We're Always Happy to Help
One advantage of being a small family business is that we're never far from the products themselves.
Whether you'd like another photograph, an exact measurement, advice on sizing, or simply want to know which shade is closest to another, just get in touch.
If you're shopping from overseas, we're especially happy to answer any questions before you place your order. We'd much rather spend a few minutes helping you choose the right piece than have you wondering if you've made the right decision.
Talking of colour...
One of our favourite additions is our Lavender Lace High Waisted Girdle, proudly made in our Nottingham factory.
Crafted from supportive stretch power net, it offers firm yet comfortable shaping while remaining surprisingly breathable. The high-waisted design creates a smooth vintage silhouette beneath dresses, while six metal suspender clips keep your stockings perfectly in place throughout the day.
The soft lavender shade is a lovely alternative to traditional black or pink and perfectly captures the understated elegance of classic foundation garments.
With our new colour swatches, you'll now have an even better idea of exactly what to expect before it arrives.
Revival Lingerie Continues to Grow
Although Revival has only recently returned, we're adding new products to the website almost every day.
Alongside expanding our collection, we're continuing to improve the shopping experience with new features, clearer product information and more international shipping options.
If you've not visited for a few days, it's well worth taking another look. There's always something new to discover.
