(Please note: This is the “archive” of the collection of shoot props (generally lingerie/womens attire somehow) that I have gathered over the last 11 years of my career.
They are catalogued by number, and description for now as well as any other relevant information about their individual histories- how I came to have the items, what shoots they might have been used for, etc.
The style in which I document an item may vary according to the type of garment/object it is).

#65 – Bra
Black lace underwire bra from La Senza, 34C. I bought this stunning piece at a La Senza sale about 9 years ago. They had a bridal range, all in cream and and duplicates in black. This is super delicate favourite which I’ve used in a few shoots.

#66 – Panties
Pale, luminous yellow, seamless thong, size medium. I bought these specifically for a “Housewife” shoot which I haven’t yet published…

#67 – Bra/Bustier
White lace bustier with padding and underwire. I bought this piece at a Chinese shop surprisingly. At the time it was hard to find this cut in SA and I’ve used it in many shoots since. The included are just two examples.

#62 – Panties
Black satin and lace thong, size medium. These knickers were bought for a Playboy South Africa Shoot, Miss July 2013 I think, but never ended up making it into the shoot.

#63 – Bra
Black lace, soft cup bra, size 36B. I almost forgot SheBear existed. This design is one of theirs. There’s a factory shop which sells lingerie in Woodstock, they stock brands like this one, Wonder Bra and Jockey for example. I bought this about 9 years ago and added it to the collection.

#64 – Panties
Black lace string. These came from Pandoras Box, a vintage clothes shop that existed in Cape Town a long time ago. They’ve definitely had better days but I like them for their 70’s style cut and old lace textile.

#4 – Panties.
Black, pretty minimalist, Made In China, size small thong with lace heart detail. I found this wacky, tiny pair at a Chinese shop underneath the Golden Acre in Cape Town, that strange shopping labyrinth which dives below ground near the train station. Bought in about 2005, a bunch of them were used as funny gifts at a Chinese themed girls-only dinner party I threw and the rest made their way into the collection. Mostly they are all too flimsy or random to ever have graced a shoot thus far.

#5 – Panties.
French designer Simone Perele, super high waisted, tan colored, panties. Sized XS and incorporating mesh side panels. My colleagues give them a 9.5 for granny-ness, but they also admit (with their heads cocked to one side) that they have potential and that the side panels is what makes them. I bought them on a sale for a Playboy shoot but never used them.

#6 – Panties.
Pink thong, size S, Womens Secret, Rose bud detail, cotton. I bought these for the Playboy Miss July Playmate shoot I did of Leonie Valentine in 2013. It was the last shoot I did with the brand and was rushed out before I went to Europe on a job.

I think I shot and delivered the photographs in a record time of two days and thus they are far from my best work sadly. Included is one of the images where I used the panties.

#7 – Panties.
Hot-pink, satin and lace, low-rise, pantie-shorts with slit and bedazzlement on the left hip. Size M, La Senza. These have been with me for a while. I think I only ever used them on one shoot (the included project with Lexi and the candy floss shot in my studio some years back), however the knickers have gone with me as a shoot option to dozens of sets and just sit there looking showy.
