Kobieta Petarda lingerie

Together with Paulina Smaszcz, Love and Hate presents a collection of stylish lingerie. This often unseen part of a woman's wardrobe plays a huge role in how we see ourselves. The Kobieta Petarda values lingerie that makes her feel sexy. The sets hand-picked by Paulina are elegant, modern thongs and bras that live up to the expectations of very discerning women. These lingerie styles work for both daytime and evening and, importantly, they suit a variety of outfits. When it comes to how we dress, it isn't just the striking overall effect that counts. Being happy with how we look, and therefore feeling good, comes down to the details. The comfort and style of the lingerie we wear are extremely important. Lingerie quality has always been associated with fashionable design, precise, well-thought-out construction, careful sewing and high-class fabrics. Together, these qualities result in functional, comfortable lingerie that delights whatever your size. These hallmarks of luxury lingerie have defined Love and Hate from the very beginning.

Must-haves: Paulina's picks

Together with Paulina Smaszcz, we present lingerie that lifts your mood and boosts your self-esteem. Elegant lingerie that can be interpreted in different ways, depending on what its wearer is looking for.

Paulina picked out the white lace Issa White bra and thong set, made from floral lace with sheer details. The Issa bra is a balconette that, as well as having a fashionable shape, perfectly supports and lifts the bust.

The Opium set and Clara Nude for many occasions

The idea of sensual lingerie that boosts your confidence yet lets you forget about it when the demands of work or household chores take over comes through in the Opium set. The stylish bra with padded lower cups and the striking yet comfortable thong quickly won a following. The Opium set captivates with its simple shape built on contrasting textures, and it's very comfortable. It's available and tested across the entire size range. In the Love and Hate collection, black is joined by a very fashionable nude shade. That's why Paulina's next pick is the Clara Nude bralette, a sheer bra that stands out for the distinctive construction lines on its cups. It's a perfect choice for every day and for big nights out alike.

Romance in lingerie

A romantic note comes from the Adele set: the Adele soft bra together with the Adele thong in silver-grey. The distinctive shade and black details make an interesting duo, and the line of the Adele bra follows the natural pattern of the lace. The elongated cup line is a nod to the retro trend in lingerie.

Lingerie with sparkle

The Kobieta Petarda collection features a touch of this season's fashionable sparkle. The Ophelie set has the minimalist, modern shape of a soft bra. At the same time, it catches the eye with a silver print on delicate tulle. Definitely one for evening occasions. You could even try a look in which the Ophelie bra takes on the role of a striking top under a classic blazer.

Personal branding and lingerie

Every day, each of us builds her own image - and not only through what we do online. By being active in different areas of life, we build our own small personal brand. Self-awareness and listening to her own needs guide a woman towards choices that strengthen her self-esteem. Kobieta Petarda lingerie celebrates femininity and female power to the full.
