Saucy spaghetti anyone? This naughty housewares collection begs a second serving.  

Woman-owned and operated housewares purveyor Dupenny was founded by a cheeky English lass named Emily Dupen-Hopkins. She creates glamour gardens (plus the occasional English one) and sex pots for walls in kitchens out of her studio by the sea: the arty design den of Brighton, UK specifically.

Emily’s elegant 1920’s inspired wallpaper, bone china ceramics and sexy aprons epitomize the vintage pin-up girl, while embracing the uncompromising femininity of modern-day burlesque performance. Granted, half naked housewives finding euphoria in mundane chores like ironing does harken back to a certain feminine mystique, Dupenny’s designs are less about making statements and more about cheekiness on demand and without apology. Dupenny relies on traditional printing methods and manufacturing techniques without mass producing. They also use sustainable materials and packaging and sell in UK-based and local shops, though they do have an online shop for custom shipping to international customers.

Hand screen-printed aprons are made with water-based inks on heavy-weight cotton.

Tea and crumpets with the “Victoria Fancy” throw pillow. 

The “Betsy Battenburg” tea towel on white Linen Union fabric, hand screen-printed using water-based inks.

You dirty dog! Phone-a-spanking art print on FSC certified paper.

Thelma sure knows her way around a Hoover. One heck of a greeting card printed on FSC certified paper in a biodegradable sleeve.

Dupenny was founded in 2009 by Emily Dupen-Hopkins and is based in Brighton, UK. The company’s art prints are environmentally friendly, printed in the UK using water-based inks.

The wonderful thing about pretty lingerie is that even though most people don’t see it, we know it’s there. Underneath our daily suits of armor there’s a softness that can’t help but make us feel sexy.

Boss undermining us? Sexy.

Car needs $1200 in repairs? Sexy.

Ex boyfriend just walked into the coffee shop with his new girlfriend? Sexy.

You get the point.

Cache Coeur Bra and Panties, bra, $45, hipster panties, $29

Thankfully, Faeries Dance, a sustainable shopping site filled to the brim with organic intimates has provided us with all the pretty choices we’ll need to get through all those rough patches. Although they have several clothing categories, I immediately gravitated to the lingerie trimmed in lace and made out of organic cotton fabrics that urges one to choreograph her own show stopping number, Aguilera “Burlesque” style.

Faeries Dance has their assortment right, with an eye on the stylish woman who desires those playful undergarments but is more than likely guided by the principle that her beauty is most evident when she’s comfortable. (Because how can you feel sexy when you’re uncomfortable?) The mission is fitting, as well; all  Faeries Dance products are consciously, thoughtfully sourced and made.

Polka Dot Padded Push-Up Bra, $50

All of the intimate separates featured on the site are sure to hold you together in organic loveliness – or just make you feel ready for action should the world want to rock you in ways you were not prepared for. Feeling sexy isn’t about who sees you, after all – it’s about how you feel.

Lingerie Wash Bag, 3-pack, $27 or $10 each

Don’t forget the essentials for keeping your sustainable collection looking beautiful for years to come: a gentle organic wash and of course, wash bags. They really do make all the difference in maintaining the shape and fabric of your pieces, and they’re so inexpensive I’m amazed more people don’t remember to use lingerie wash bags. This version is a sustainable exclusive from Faeries Dance, and a great deal, too.

P.S. The lusciously cozy Rosalba nightgown at top is just $59.
