Newer notables AVAILABLE IN A UNIQUE LUXURY SHOPPING EXPERIENCE IS ATLANTA SINCE THE BLUE CORSET OPENED ITS DOORS TO CUSTOMERS IN DECEMBER 2007. A ONE-OF-A-KIND REL FOR TRUE LINGERIE CONNOISSEURS. BOUTIQUE OFFERING LUXURY INTIMATE APPA- The Blue Corset A truly plush 1800 ft2 setting, with Victorian influences in the furniture, elegant marble floors and floor to ceiling armoires, juxtaposed to sleek fixtures make The Blue Corset truly one of a kind. Inspired by her visits to Europe and to major US cities, store owner Amanda Nixon set out to create a boutique in Atlanta where customers could find more of a selection of styles and brands than department stores have, in an inspiring environment where the customer service makes shopping a very personal experience. Among the high-end brands on offer are ID Sarrieri, Leigh Bantivoglio, Empreinte, Marlies Dekkers, La Perla and She and Me, in collections that range form corsetry to loungewear and sleepwear, satisfying all tastes. Items can be viewed in colorful rows contrasting with the sumptuous dark walls in the subdued lighting. A classy chandelier, settee and armchairs complete the furniture. Customers, who are offered wine and champagne as they shop, can try on items in one of the two discreet fitting rooms and will have their purchases wrapped in custom made gift boxes or delivered to their homes. Due to its uniqueness the boutique is a popular events venue especially with male centric businesses such as the car and media industries, as well as men’s radio or male grooming establishments. The store which was even recently featured on a national TV show is undoubtedly set to become a true hit! The Blue Corset, Atlanta - USA
