Josephine High Waist Knicker

The story of Josephine Baker's beloved pet leopard, Chiquita, comes to life in the intricate golden Art Deco patterns on these panties. Wild cats are alluring, but also dangerous: Chiquita loved to jump from the stage to the orchestra pit, and chase the unfortunate musicians around the hall. Who would have thought cats don't like high-pitched sounds?

On the panties, you'll see Chiquita in hot pursuit of the nightclub staff, and of course, Josephine herself in her iconic banana skirt (as depicted in the accompanying card). The set is hand-embroidered with a dazzling array of shining gold beads, using gilded and silvered threads.

If you're unsure about your size, don't worry! Simply add your measurements (in cm or inches) in the comments section when placing your order, and we'll be happy to help you choose the best size for you.

This garment is crafted from soft mesh of EU origin, featuring natural pearls and Japanese beads. The fabrics and accessories used meet the stringent requirements of the OEKO-TEX certification, ensuring the highest level of quality and safety.

To keep your precious Love & Swans garments looking their best for as long as possible, please follow these simple care instructions:

• Wash in cold water (no warmer than 30°C). Not only is this better for the environment, but it also helps keep the bead shine, reduces color fading, and uses less energy.
• Do not put your Love & Swans products in the dryer. Also, avoid drying them in direct sunlight. Gently squeeze out excess water with a towel, but do not twist.
• If ironing is necessary, place the garment face down (with the beads) on a terry towel and use the lowest heat setting on your iron.
