Pistol Panties

New to the streets of London in summer 2005, this exotic little shop has been warmly welcomed by London’s abundance of hip beach bunnies. A small summer shop, it maintains a very glam beach-hut vibe that is both contemporarily trendy and has a stylish vintage feel to it. The bikinis, designed by Paris-born, Miami-raised designer Deborah Fleming are bright, retro and adorned in frills, bows, polka dot patterns and abstract floral prints. Sophisticated ladies can also pick up some fashionably antiquated accessories for the beach. Lara Bohinc sunglasses, kaftans, kitsch straw beach bags, exotic shell jewellery and a sprinkling of vintage goods beautify the shelves. This place is sultry, beach chic at its best. Also available at Harrods and Selfridges.
