One of the very few fashion designers to venture into the business of underwear, Salmi Shilongo of Salshi by Salmi has been causing quite the stir with her Mystique line. Comprising of beautiful bralettes and matching panties in delicate lace, this underwear line is one of the sizzling local buys on the market right now.

The lingerie comes in all sizes, with a plus size line for the fuller figured woman. Although this line was released in the month of love, it’s still a must-have for any woman who is serious about her lingerie collection. Not only does it look great, both the brallete and the panties are very comfortable to wear.
